Hi Pete,

If you need a bed in Rocky, I'm sure my Brother and his wife would love to put you up. WendyL stayed there with us on the way to Mackay.


Thanks mate for the lovely offer on your bro's behalf.  I'll be in touch closer to the time, and do plan on staying a night in Rocky.   :thumb

How many towns, localities, boroughs, cities, etc ...... will Pete pass through on his OzLap?   Hardly use all of his town signs!

And, it's not a dumb word!  It means, extraordinarily good; wonderful, according to one of the finds to this search:

I'm not sure about any of this.   My plan was simply to take my time and celebrate life on the road,  meet some old friends and new friends,  and take time to "Smell the Roses".   Who knows, I might find my hidden inner Hippie.

My point was not so much the quality of the word, which is without a doubt a clever creation of the Sherman brothers.
I simply don't want to see 34 town signs used up on one word!  That's the "dumb" part!
It seems to be a struggle to get people to find 7 signs for the current word.    Wot thuh

Most of my planning is completed, with new kit tested, and some booking made.   The bike is booked into my MotoAdelaide next week, and in Darwin for a service and new tyres.  Chris is flying to Broome so we can spend a couple of days there, which will be beaut.  I do need to coordinate an anti cancer treatment while I'm away, and the date that it's due correnspods with me being in a spot with a big regional hospital, so the stars are alligning nicely.  It's just nine and a half weeks to my departure, and that time will go very quickly   :thumb

That reads like you've been doing some serious preparation!   :grin

Great that the count-down has begun.  All the best with the rest of the arrangements.

I spent a fortune on a new, seriously conpact two man tent, with an inflatable frame, specifically for this trip.   It came from O/S and there were none in Ausstralia that I could look at, so I bought it unseen.

Two Man!!  Absolute B@#$^%t...... :fp    It could fit two six year olds, but not two adults, and it's too small to store my overnight stuff as well as a slepping mat, so I'm back to my old faithful BlackWolf Gobi tent.   This will be another tax deduction for a self education expense, and it will most likely go for up sale after being used for just two nights of testing.  It was a serious mistake.  :well
