Somewhere central to everyone....somewhere like Innamincka area sounds good.

Done over one of our nations long weekends sounds good to me.

Who's in it?

Innamincka's a bit far for most to travel for a long weekend so I'd suggest having a series of state gatherings in October (is the October long weekend a National one?) and combining it with ................
Celebrating the 15th Year Anniversary of AULRO

No, NSW, ACT, Qld, SA, according to my calendar.

Is this not the Land of The Long Weekend? :wasntme:

It's an issue close to the heart of this great land, so let's meet at Uluru. Tell the boss "I'm off for a week, gotta burn some wood and figure stuff out" . We shall return with plans to build the replacement right here in Australia. We might call it the "Drover Lander Contender" !

All to be considered. :).

Or maybe we do as the Chinese do so successfully; reverse engineer! And like land rover we can make good use of the parts bin.....

We go out bush, disassemble all our cars into components and cherry pick parts to build one mutant super rover. With the remaining parts we build chariots and the mutant rover will tow us all home victorious!

Something a bit bitter than this.

Good call Manic. But too many Gerry McGoverns around a camp fire might be risky! :p

Ha ha....The pushmepullyou mutant rover! Like it! And it's the perfect metaphor for LR indecision.
