If Qld or Northern NSW, we might have to organise an impromptu RTE so a few more Qlders can meet you.

4th or 5th sounds good.

Do you have accommodation sorted?

Bed, shed and fed available here.

We could do the RTE on our back deck.

Today was a late start by my standards. Today's destination is Swan Hill, via Speewa NSW and  Speewa VIC.  My original plan was to leave Adelaide and come to Swan Hill.   The Brisbane leg got added on later.

I went to a place called Lower Portland yesterday.

See you in Halls Gap.
