damd....never thought of the window angle when deciding to head west first next year lmfao

I've had a suggestion to keep this thread updated with our anticipated route.

We've now made it down most of the east coast, venturing as far as Eden. We're spending NYE there with friends, so will attack it from the south, ensuring we take in Lakes Entrance, Malacoota etc. Check the link in my signature if you could be bothered to get a full run-down of our past escapades.

We're now in Cooma, looking to spend the next week or two eploring the high country. I small mishap today might make things just a little bit harder. Amelie, our almost 4yo daughter fell (or was pushed by another random kid) off a wall/fence today, and fractured her collar-bone She's a tough little blighter, and we've hardly heard a wimper out of her yet.

Anyway, if anyones in the area and wants to go for a bit of a look around, let me know. I've already had the pleasure of catching up with heaps of AULROians, who've been able to show me some sights I wouldn't have been able to see without their local knowledge. It's also great putting faces to names. Redback and Yorkie kindly offered for me to tag along with them, but alas, they're not coming down here until I'll be in Melbourne to meet other commitments (thanks anyway Baz and Liam!).

So, I'll try and keep this thread updated with our future travel paths, so if I'm coming through your neighbourhood, send me a PM or reply to this thread and maybe we can catch up.

Ryan, sorry to hear about Amelie, hope she recovers soon, good luck with the rest of your travels, Regards Frank.

In Wodonga getting repairs done in the Defender. Heading to Melbourne town via Bendigo, Ballarat and Werribee over the next couple of weeks, so let me know if you're keen for a meet up.

Hi Ryan etc,

I might have missed the post if there was one but are you guys coming across Bass strait at some point to visit us lot down here in nth Antarctica?

Hope Amelie is feeling a bit less painful now, poor little mouse

Hi Ranga, where you going to be at over the weekend? If you're somewhere close, I'll pop by and say hello.

Cheers - Gav

sure are - I've already mentally booked in the Defender for a service Should be around January/February.

Amelie's mending fine, just bumps the shoulder every now and then, or has Oliver do it for her!
