Swaggers here is the grand plan . Depart Melb early travel to Ballarat Bypass stop there to form up the convoy at the dinosaur /gold encounter fun park . At or about 9am with the travelers fed & waters we are off , west bound & down . If you want to travel send me your mobile on PM so we can arrange to meet  & how many . We will travel as far as possible into the Clare Valley so its a short hop on Friday .  If I have an idea of numbers then planning the night stop is easier .          Good Seasons Good Miles     :cheers:

Got a call from Nav04 yesterday arvo. He & Hairs were just out of Broken Hill, heading to Silverton for another meet before Hairs will head to the National. All going well, both are worse than kids at Xmas time. Haven't heard from Ketsi since the 1st night of his travels, probably in a local lockup somewhere  ;D ;D. Safe travels to all heading to the meet & beyond. :cheers:

Just to let everyone know that is going to the meet the local store has closed down.
There are a couple of other stores and a servo for basic supplies.

The owners are obviously unaware of the MySwag Meet, otherwise they wouldve waited another two weeks before closing down.

Seriously though, it seems like it is just another sign of the times as to how tough it is getting to make a living out from the major capitals.

Well I reckon that most people would do their shopping in Port Augusta as it is not that far away. I am always amazed at how the towns between Wilmington and Peterborough survive but I guess the local farmers keep the towns afloat. Orroroo is a nice little town and always presents itself as a clean place. There are a couple of popular pubs in the main street.

You're right Mav - the reason they gave was the competition from the Pt Augusta Supermarkets.

As mentioned - they could have delayed it a couple of weeks!!

May drop in over the weekend, we were going to Arkaroola, but all the people we were going with have pulled out now, so maybe melrose, with a visit to wilmington to meet a few faces.

This will be the last trip with the Cruiser for a while as the company has been nice enough to give me a Hilux to use, so my big toy can get parked up in the shed till I need her again.

 :cheers: Cracka

We will be passing through Wilmington, Orroroo and Peterborough on our way to Broken Hill for the night on Saturday so we will keep our ears open for any chatter from the Myswaggers at the meet. We are coming from Coober Pedy so we should be passing through Wilmington around midday on Saturday.
