Yeah, pretty much.

We'll have different things on, Nomad is going to lead a Rainbow, Double Island, lighthouse etc run on Sat and Sun.

I think Mrs Jeepers will lead a sandblow run.

Rusty and Troy will do some stuff.

I'm hanging back to make sure the beer is cold.  ;D

I see the Beach Permit thing has been answered well and truly by Mr. Green RV... ta mate.  :cheers:

Keep in mind, if you want a taste of Fraser, the tour buses do an excellent 1 day trip covering a hell of a lot of it.

Just food for thought.

Well, well, well, 13 days left.....


But not for some folks, Rusty will be arriving in only 7 days, getting in next Saturday...  ;D
Bruce and Annie going in the next day. along with the Jeepers.

Now, for those with kids, don't forget, the Tin Can Bay dolphins stuff their cute little faces every morning.
You can either drive over, or take the dolphin ferry and see  a bit of the bay itself.

Oh boy, only 12 days left to run now......

Hey Steffo, I've got the lowdown on a couple of good fishing spots now.
Winter whiting are still on the chew and squid is pretty easy to catch too.
Just be careful you don't get inked, that'll come later around the camp fire when we all get inked.  :cheers:

OK, I've had a go at this for a bit fun. A bit rank really and I couldn't use everyone's names, but I think it will cover what we're gunna get up to perhaps.

Hum along to C’mon Aussie C’mon, C’mon….
C’mon on Aussie C’mon.



Now, It’s been a long time comin'
It’s close now, we really are a runnin'
To show you folks it wasn't, just a dream
From, Nomad, Jeepers and the rest of the Nat Meet team.

Our forum is better than all the rest you know
And we've proved we’re the best, to get to know
The greatest forum, to ever park a camper trailer on the green.

From next Saturday, we'll be floodin' through the gates
To relax, and share beers with lots of mates.
A beer, no matter what the season
A beer, we’ll always have a reason
To shout a beer with other swaggers, they're our mates

Brett and Jillsy will turn up in a new van.
Rusty arranged it, he really is the man.
Mark GU, has bought all three kids.
Steffo’s, out fishin for squid.
And Barnsey is just,  chilling by a fan.

Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on.

Big Jules is cooking snags just like a machine.
Mr. Bitchi, is helping, while looking mean.
Robbo's guitar is really getting plucked.
Renno’s tripped over a tent rope, and all he said was f^*#
And Isuzumu is as drunk as he’s ever been.

Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on

Every day, we’re gunna have some fun.
Beach driving in the gorgeous Queensland sun.
Kingbilly’s bogged his car deep in the sand,
Everyone’s laughin, no-one even offered a hand.
Just standing, watching, and getting a better tan.


Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on

The kids now, have all gone fishing.           
To win the prize, no-one should be missing.           
Fysh will do the judging,
Hairs will just be bludging,
And Green RV will skit about his fishin trip.

Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on

At the end of it, we'll all head home,
Some, may chose to further roam.
Now, its hard to get this crap to rhyme
But I don't mind, as long as you had a good time.
And enjoyed yourself at the Nation Meet.

Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on, come on
Come on Swaggers, come on


I think I might go find a lawn to mow now.....  ;D

Listo hasn't had the best news this week either, so I tips me hat to him.

11 Days to go.....

The countdown ain't far from single digits.

It must be getting close to camping time now, as I've changed the oil and filter on the jeep, popped the roof racks on and the camping fridge in on and cold.

Your poor missus Jeepers........

Now, now, be nice.....

Even Mrs Jeepers is getting her self ready for the Nat Meet.
She's going to the gym every morning, as she ballooned out to 51 kilos.
On the week-end, we used some 100MPH race tape to wax her back and chest.
(Nearly lost a nip too, it was still on the tape luckily)
The ol bench grinder got a workout doing her fingernails and bugger me, the silly bitch buggered my good angle grinder when she cut loose on the toenails.

I told her, just do one foot and do the other later, but oh no, she had to trim all 11 toenails in one hit.  >:(
Now I got a burnt smell coming out of the ol black an decker.

Hey, bloody women, can't live without 'em, can't live with 'em.......... what's a man to do?
