Nothing's cast in stone yet, but mulling over the scenic route home (hoping 4bee's going to be good for a coffee), 3 weeks would allow plenty of time to nurse the vehicles. We should consider a meeting with the interested parties.Quote:

WW2 fillum. Big Cattle drive from Wyndham Meat Works to a rail head to escape the possible Japanese invasion.
The Overlanders (film) - Wikipedia
!00,000 cattle they used in '46. Do they get mobs that large up there these days?
One about the ANZAC Landings was made over Port Lincoln way around Cliffs & Beaches. No not Cliff's Roadhouse. Of course it was Gallipoli.Gallipoli (1981 film) - Wikipedia
Actually it is Port Augusta, that is what my younger bro calls it.Quote:

Bernie would have Guiness nights up in the bar, often a Wednesday, all you drink , on the house.
As an aside SWMBO and I went to Coolangatta Hotel for their advertised St Patricks Evening , to celebrate our wedding anniversary which we share with the Irish. Can you believe we couldn't get a Guiness?
They had run out. It was part of their dinner package and they offered me a rotgut IPA instead. We will not go to the Coolangatta hotel again.
