S.A. Melrose - extended trip

[The ho har's]

We went off early Saturday morning to find a flat tyre in the driveway:(

headed to Tenterfield to meet up with Paul:) A slow trip travelling the New England H/way to be greeted with another flat doing about 90K's:o all fixed.

several days later we met muddy in Hay, then off to Melrose, staying at different AULRO members places before we arrived.

The event was fantastic, lot of tag-a-longs to do, several trips in the Flinders also.

Not a lot of photos to show, comp is having a hemorrhage.

Sorry an afterthought, Garry was going to be with us, after a call on Friday asking where abouts he was, he advised that a broken windscreen, running out of fuel and getting towed back 300k's was not a good start:( he then did say on Saturday that a toll had been taken and was heading home:( sorry to hear that:( Maybe next time, oh we have your show bag here:)

It was the best part off 200ks we were towed in the wrong direction

As some of you will have heard the story I wont rattle on but here are the highlights

1. Broken windscreen just outside Toowoomba which was replaced today :)

2. Not enough fuel to get past the only fuel station on the Barrier Highway and then Easter :mad:

3. No phone card to call for help, got to love reverse charging :p

3. Tow truck instead of fuel can :mad:

4. Tow truck mannie hooks up to steering guard and near snaps it in half, I see some black liquid on the flat bed but as I have at least 2 hours with the man I hold my tongue:mad:
Turns out the steering guard holds a lot of water

5. 189 Klms back in the wrong direction after waiting 4 hours for the guy to turn up. Still my fault I know ;)

6. Now too late to make the rest of the trip worth while so decided to make the trip home again

7. On a positive note the wife reminded me we saved a poor P plater from hitting a Roo so not all bad Eh!

As Glen told me remember to fill up at every major town I will be doing so from now on in and will be taking a few jerry cans aswell
