Cor, you mean you can't drive around the edge in a day? Must be dreadful to try to arrange a 'round the island' charity walk!

I remember hitting the nullarbor plain on my way across in a coach and realizing what a big country it was.

It would take me a whole day to drive to Copago's place, and she is in the same state! I am not sure how long it would take to walk 'round the island', and am not about to try it..

I must make my apologies- I cannot make it to Brissie that weekend, but will be there in spirit.

Don't feel bad, ozzz. Someone who lives in El Paso, TX, that wants to go to Orange, TX, will drive 880 miles (1416 km) to get there, and both of those cities are in the same state, too! It's 650 miles (1050 km) just to El Paso for me. I couldn't make it to El Paso in one day.

Hope the lot of you have fun in Brisbane next weekend.

C'mon ozzz, look at all those trips I made to Sydney. I even cleaned up the house for you.

Don't worry, I know that if you could have been here you would have.

Are we booking calls this time or not? Is it only when George is there and you can use his phone? I might go on the list if it is still open.

Why do I keep forgetting to tell you this. Our Hong Kong Weather Girl always announces the weather in Brisbane as :
" and today it is Mitsy in Bisbrane." So in our house, Brisbane is always called Bisbrane... I hope the weather will not be so "Mitsy" and you will be able to see each other OK (while still sober I mean.)

The last time they got together in Australia, Greg was there, and they were using his phone, or so I thought.

That was my phone, Dave, and I would love to be able to do it again.

I still have everyone's numbers stored, if any Brissy people want to PM me.

I hope you all have a wonderful time, and will have a beer for me!

Sorry I haven't logged in for a couple of days or so. Dalgleish, Leau, Bertho and myself are all set. Is there anyone else who would like to come along? Bertho and I are fairly flexible - did you two want to do the Citycat or go for the Powerhouse?

How about we meet around midday at the Citycat stop at West End, as per the original plan?

I'm back home again already, Roos, got back three days ago. I had a great time though! I hope to be back in Australia again soon, for at least a few months.

No worries, Roos. You must have missed the News on the day I left.

Wow, Leau, I've waited a long time! Firstly after someone mentioned your curly hair I had a mental picture of you, and bingo, I was right! It is a talent of mine I picked up long ago from psychic readings.
I've waited 5 years to see Exit 10, so congratulations on the final revelation! And tell Bertho to get his backside in here a bit more, we miss him!

We have of course seen the other members before and always good to see more of, especially when mixing with more members.

Having had the pleasure of meeting Leau, I found it really funny that my hair's gone back to being curly at this point in life, and hers is very curly. She and I could almost have been related. I'm sure she resembles me more than some of my cousins do.

Then again, when she and her grandmother visited me here in California, all those cracks about the weather in the Netherlands came to roost..it was a dismally rainy day! No wonder our hair was curly.

Thanks for finally showing us a picture of you and also, Exit.

I was thinking how much alike you two looked, with your curly heads.
