The Great 107 trip...

Bumped into Gus last night after he had done some repairs to his generator at Hilton Pollards. What a great trip!!!! Gus is a delightful bloke and well worth catching up with if he is in your neck of the woods. Shorty

Hi all, Gus has been at our place for the last couple of days after returning from Hiltons place, we took him out 4WDriving Sunday as promised, I think he enjoyed the day, although we had to re-fit his auto hubs/Flanges as the free wheeling hubs kept jumping out, that took 15/20mins, although sitting halfway up a steep rocky climb wasn't the best workshop environment:p

After re-fitting it was back into the climb and up she went no worries:D

On the way home we took the scenic route, and dropped into Dullbirds place to introduce Gus and have a chat.

Gus is still at our place as far as I know and is heading south along the old coast road and over the sea bridge(Old Princes Hwy) down to Wollongong and then over to Canberra, either today or tomorrow, he is definately doing the sea bridge first though.

If you see Gus and his 107, give him a wave, oh and he likes a beer or two and is a great bloke:beer::BigThumb:

Baz.

First a big thanks to Redback and family for all the hospitality and help. As mentioned got the Genny fixed, went 4 wheel driving, and am on the road again. Attempted to surf at Wollongong, but conditions were crap. Heading south along the coast road, then over to Canberra for a few days looking around. Then it will be on south Tasmania way to try and catch the summer for some bush walking, surfing and exploring.

I was going to say goodbye and safe travels in the morning, but you looked so comfortable I didn't want to disturb you:D

Have fun in Tassie.

Here's some footage of the day and a pic.

I too can vouch for the fact that Gus is an admirable fellow and I'm sure he would be honoured to stay with a fellow club member if possible.....Gus - drifter....there, now you've been introduced!:)
