i know andy mac is onboard but not sure if he is going with them at that time.
i am flying up on the 7th, back on the 11th, might have to catch up somewhere for a drink and a chat.
good luck with the drive mate.

I might pack some extra fuel for the F250 and do a few drops along the way......
Talking of fuel...any news on fuel quality at Carnarvon? Icecream and fuel are essentials in Carnavon.
See you up there Ron.
Cheers Pete

no ice creams in Carnarvon
no ice creams in Carnarvon Pete but the fuel is ok, I did 2 tanks from there over the weekend and no probs. The shop was flooded so they are running a tiny office next to it with a coke fridge and a chip stand.

Yep
Still running 24/7 but if you want an ice cream you have to head in to IGA or Woolies or fuel up at Peak in town.
For diesel it is usually cheaper at KCG fuel supplies on the left about 400 metres from the tee junction towads town., same would probably go for unleaded but not sure because no need for it.
BP Palms roadhouse on the way north is diesel and card only.

Not sure Pete meant icecreams
Not sure Pete meant icecreams from the servo.
I'm thinking its JC & DH Morel Plantation, on Robinson Road. They make some really good ones out of chocolate pudding fruit, then chocolate dip them for good measure. They also have some more interesting fruit and veg.
East side of the road, between the turnoff and the main roads building.

Probably hitting the road
Probably hitting the road around 2pm on Friday the 1st. Throwing around the idea of a quick couple of days at the Monties or Mackies on the way though.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

yes i just spent 1500 on 4
yes i just spent 1500 on 4 new combos and i haven't even touched the terminal tackle yet but that should be rather harmless, just a shitload of 3oz jig heads needed for some red and rankin slaying. Well that's the plan just like last year along with billies and HUGE GT's of the murions.
Please play nice weather gods, it's gonna be one very expensive pub crawl if you don't get your shit together, see you all for a beer in three weeks, you can't miss me haha!
