Thread: Embarrassment

Well we didn't have to drive 700 klm's to meet fellow AULORIAN'S just Tassie....Hmmm come to think of it we did drive that far for a BBQ more like several thousand klm's

anyway it was good to catch up with them, and unfortunately we didn't get to see Aus on the way back while in the Hunter region..next time


Mrs hh

PS hope you lot have a terrific New Year

Yeah, that was a shame Mrs HH, I would have loved to have met you. Did you get to Dinty's OK??? Actually another AULORIAN from Queensland is down this way and I am trying to line up a weekend cup of coffee.!!

Mind you, I won't be heading up that way for a while; gotta trip to the Cape planned first and whilst it is awfully tempting to then head west, unfortunately I'm not self employed and after 4 or so weeks would have to return to the place where they who crack the whip and pay with bread crumbs and water

Yeah breadcrumbs and water here too.

Its actually about 600kms of dirt with some black top at each end. Similar condition to the Gibb River Road I believe.

Have a look at Google Maps and 'Get Directions' from Katherine NT to Nhulunbuy NT. That will give you a decent idea of where we are.

Andrew, I am truly sorry for your loss, it is very devastating when somebody does this. The old saying is a "Permanent solution to a temporary problem". It is like throwing a pebble into a pool, the waves spread out and anything floating is effected. I guess what I am trying to say is that the devastation left behind on his friends and family would be huge. The question is "What goes through a persons mind when they consider it would be better for everybody if they were not here". I don't understand, you have to look at the effects of an action like this on people who care for you.
The only answer (as I see it) is that they feel so low, that other peoples considerations do not come into the equation. The depression is that bad that logical thoughts go out the window.
