Last year we had a ball :)

[numpty]

At work on the Island over Xmas/New year.

[Barra1]

Don't know:(

First Christmas ever that won't be spent with the 3 sons:mad:

Might just get into the "Fender and head somewhere/anywhere - the house will seem very empty and quiet.

[landyfromanuthaland]

I here you Barra , my dad always said no matter where u are in the world u always come home for xmas and thats been the way for many years, but this is the first xmas ma and pa will be minus two kids as they live in darwin now and just wont do the xmas trip this year, its getting close for us and we will only have the young fellar home the two older ones will be long gone. Caravanning seems a popular choice, might borrow the ma in laws and go for a drive somewhere quiet.

[paulthepilot_5]

Heading over to Strady during new years for a week (if i have the landy back together by then :( ). Not a big trip but should be able to get a bit of 4wding in. Also have plans for a Fraser Island trip not long after.

[incisor]

Used to go down there in the mid '70s. Peace and solitude back then, what's it like these days?

[LRHybrid100]

usually pretty quiet, but I guess not over the Xmas break - but then where will be quiet then?

[George130]

Driving up to the Gold cost to see family for 4 nights. Drive home. Then heading to Aulbury for Christmas/New year it self. I think I have 3 days to get from the Gold Coast to Aulbury.

[Steve Jillett]

Taking the D3 and boat, dragging it from Sale VIC along the great ocean road for 8 days then over onto Kangaroo Island for a week. Then rush back to start work mid Jan. Can't wait. :)

[amtravic1]

Going to Hamilton Island early Jan for a week or 10 days. Would rather in the High Country camped beside a river but my family are happy to be going to Qld. Haven't been scuba diving in a while so I might try a couple of dives while I am there.

When in January? I'm here for 2 weeks at a time. Will be here in New Year and later in the month.

[Outback 1]

Like Numpty I'll be working.
We avoid the Christmas hols (and any school hols) for touring as there are just toooooooooo many people about.

I like solitude :D

you sound like my wife:p

same here, on call 24/7 from 15th Dec to 20th Jan but in early February heading up the Cape.

[Greylandy]

Sunsets over the Kalahari, lions in Botswana, elephants in the Kruger ... I'M GOING HOME! :D

[stevo68]

Just time off will suit me, so far 4 working days off this year, the downside of a) working for yourself and b) being the business as well, i.e can't bugger off and leave for staff to look after when you don't have any.

We were looking to go o/s again, like last year, but with another bub on the way, that has been curtailed. Possibly looking at a road trip and staying at different places along the way ie north or south of where we are. Bottom line just want to close business down and have a well deserved break :cool:

Regards

[cookiesa]

$$$ Will be tight as we are about to move 400km's so probably just a couple of short trips, maybe some overnighters camping with the kids on Yorke Peninsula or Down to Victor Harbour, Mount Gambier.... Maybe even Robe. Any other members around Adelaide who might be interested let me know.

[WhiteD3]

Doing nothing so if anyone's interested in some day trips out of Brisy, let me know.

[ak]

Not wanting to make anyone jealous, but my wife and I are taking our two girls 8 & 10 to disneyland in LA. It's something we have always wanted to do and I have not been O/S for about twenty years and my wife has never been out of Australia. Costing more than I wanted to spend on a holiday but with the dollar so strong if we don't do it now may never be able to afford it.

[amtravic1]

I think we will be there around the 3rd of Jan for 8 or ten days. My wife has made all the arrangements and I have not taken much notice. We may be able to catch up for a beer or two.

[Bigbjorn]

I refuse to go away at Christmas and Easter. too many terrorists towing vans on the highways; crowds, crowds, everywhere; and, of course, the grossly inflated prices. Why do you think a Brisbane newspaper christened the Town of South Coast the "Gold Coast". The coasters were so crass they didn't see the sarcasm and took it seriously enough to name the place that.

Ian

That would be right:D I return home on the 2nd Jan.

[grumpybastard]

We are heading for Robe SA from the 10th of Jan till the 27th and staying at the Big4 caravan Park.

If anyone is down that way and wants to catch up for a beer or 2, just let us know :D

[Hymie]
