I did say I would not Hijack your thread by talking about Polystrate trees, but will have pictures from the net of them on my Laptop to show you breifly when I get there.

Briefly, a Polystrate tree is a fossil/petrified tree--Usually without its root system as it has been broken off and deposited vertically by a large flood. It is verticle running through many rock layers proving all these Rock Layers were all laid down in just one very big flood event, rather than being slowly covered over by sediments during a long period of time.

"Poly" is a word meaning "many"--polymer--many carbon atoms in the chain of atoms making the substance, etc.

"Strate" as in "Polystrate" after "Strata" or rock layers.

I do know where some Far North Coast Jurassic Polystrate tree fossils are, and when weather is warmer heading there for a swim and will photograph them at that time.

I also know where some are at Gympie, and will head up there soon to photograph them.

OK, OK John you don't have to repeat yourself!!!

Well, I will be down at ALL FOURx4 at Kotara tomorrow at 7.30am to have the Cam Shaft Sensor replaced. Wander around for an hour or two until the job is done!!

Well Fatty came home from footy training & decided to help cook tea but i'm pretty sure it was only to stand in front of the stove to get warm ,As she ended up on fire when her jacket went on the hot plate .
Ah well atleast it wasn't a tea towl as when that happens she just swings it around like a mad person with flames going everywhere in staed of just putting it in the sink & turning the tap on.. ..

My computer was freezing up and not letting me do what I wanted, so repeated myself accidently.

Nah,they had the wrong part, my FL1 is the updated model and the part they got in was for the earlier model, there was a change in June 2001 and my FL1 was built in July 2001. Of cause the part is dearer isn't it, always the way, an extra $80. They will have the part in this arvo and I will go down there again tomorrow morning to have it fitted.
They took my EMail address to be on their mailing list, apparently they are going to have information evenings, complete with a BBQ for Landie owners, should be interesting. I also learnt that the motor in my FL1 was completely rebuilt and updated a few months before I bought it, which is good news as I don't have to worry about changing timing belts for a long time yet. the previous owner spent $10,000 on the rebuild and the car is known down there. It was even booked in under the previous owners name and I had to correct them.
