Well I'm sitting in Tamworth having a few beers at the Oasis. Reflecting on what was a great long weekend. Finally putting faces to names and making new freinds.

Cheers

Hope someone's got some pics to show, I just got my camera out of the Patrol with not one pic from the weekend on it.  Didn't think I needed to take any with the Paparazzi floating around.

Great weekend was had by all the Gunna Do clan, it was good to catch up with some old friends, make some new friends and discover a new bit of Australia.

Top trip Big Jules.  Two thumbs up from all of us.

Went through torrential rain in patches on the trip home, so all the salt from the trip up the beach should be gone.

We're in a Who Flung Dung chinese takeaway on the Central Coast, leaving the traffic to clear. That was a tremendous weekend, thanks to all who attended. I think we've all made a few new friends this weekend, plus roped in some new members.

I'll get a trip report posted up a bit later.

As has been said.. Thanks Jules (and of course his better half as she kept him in line  ;D). Top job on getting everyone together.

We had a great bunch of people there. Hope to catch up with you all again in the future.

It's now raining pretty hard so lets spare a thought for the few we left behind.  :-[

Have to agree with all, had a great week-end! Well done Jules  :cup:
Now, I thought I could snore, but after hearing the surround sound on saturday night, I am an amateur, even the resident koala packed up and buggered off  ;D  We made it home in good time, had an easy run, feeling pretty stuffed now, might be an early one tonight  8)

Dorey did say surround sound Brett.  ;D

There was only two trailers near the fire mate and one was was yours.

Its all good though Brett.. You were definitely noisier when you were awake. NK was rarely awake so I'm not sure. :D

Bigjules has set a pretty high bar to beat.Thanks for your efforts in getting it all happening.Thanks too I believe, to Laith for supplying fire wood.If I have missed anyone ...oooops  ;D.
