    The French Have Been To Esperance

    We had the pleasure of Robert and Martine's company for four days (unfortuanately I had to work most of it). A really nice couple and good cooks. Only got to show them a bit of Esperance as most of the National Parks have been closed due to fires. Still had a good time. Photos have been posted in the gallery. They left about lunch time today to head up the Balladonia track and should be heading Tombraiders way over the next week or so. Their rig is well set up and has given me some ideas. If anyone on the east coast gets the chance try and catch up or host them. Our kids loved them. A christmas invite in South Aus would not go astray as I believe they will be there around that time.
    LandAndy your home grown garlic was great.
    Have not been on line for a bit as busy at work (back to school).
    Cheers

    Hi Craig
    We wished they had a spare day or 2 more,Im sure Martine did aswell,they didnt leave till after lunch the next day.She told Deb its the hardest part of their trip,time is short and its really hard to leave when people make you so welcome.
    Great people,any of you South Australians wanting to offer a place to camp their email addy is info@kookynet.net they ask that you put something obvious in the subject line as they have had spam problems.EG South Aust place to visit, or you are welcome to camp for a few ways in SA.
    Same goes for anybody else(TASSIE is next)they dont need much room,if you can fit a Defender in your drive they will fit.They have limited internet acsess so be patient.I also have their mobile,if anybody wants to SMS/call them PM and I can supply it.

    They are coming to stay at our vineyard (Adelaide Hills) in the week before Xmas, so they may end up having Xmas lunch with us. Not sure what their plans are as I haven't heard from them for a while.

    Phoenix - If you put a sequence of stars (i.e. ******) and then the real subject in the email header/title, it gets past their spam filter.

    Yes, I saw that. I'll send them another one just in case, and otherwise I can leave a message with you for them

    They were at Balladonia yesterday. They are going to travel down the streaky bay, Port Lincoln route and then hook up with Mike (tombraider) I believe.
    Took my buggy out yesterday and flipped it catching my leg under the chassis and by god I was sure I had broken something. Lucky baddly bruised and twisted.

    Yes! I've long suspected that you are a bit twisted!
