Marko

Hello and goodbye

Marko is leaving the state... Flinders Ranges here I come! Whenst I return, if the Missus enjoys this sort of adventure (which i think she will) I will have no choice but to become and member of ExplorOz and get my sticker :-) yeah

Anyway the excitement is too much right now. Thank you to all who have contributed to my many questions... timing belts/chains, where to camp at flinders, fridge problems, dual battery questions, where to get water... you can see why i feel the need to become a member... so much information was received and IT ALL WORKED....

I know its as hot as hell up there at the moment but the beers will be cold. I hope i bump into Willem... don't know if I will, don't know what he looks like actually but anyway...

See you all... have fun at work (hehehehe) Be back on the forum on 21st March... (if i make it back ;-)

Marko....

Have a safe and enjoyable trip. When your travelling through the lower Flinders Ranges, keep an eye out for Willem. He's 6'8" tall, fairly old, with a straggly beard and looks like he has been bashed up by a bikie. He is usually out and about with a chocolate covered donut in his hand. Although in this hot weather, he's probably hiding under the Air-conditioner.

Al,

That is a very harsh description of Willie. He's a very handsome man who looks unusually attractive having a swim in his underwear. LOL

Des,

You bloody idiot....you got it TOTALLY wrong....Willie is only 6'7"...NOT 6'8". How could you make such a bad blunder????? LOLOL But everything else you said was spot on, especially the bit about being "fairly old" (thought you were being a bit generous with that comment)...hhahahaha

Cheers

Al/Bill,

I still maintain that that he is a very attractive man LOL.

Your bickering about his size does you no credit.

After all, size is not important.

Marko,

Great stuff..........................I hope the missus enjoys the trip as much as you then plenty more trips awaite, if not then your stuck at home all to often waiting for the browny points to build up, and just when you reckon you should have enough to get away for a weekend you realise that the rules for browny points have changed and you either try and cover all aspects for browny points and start again or you use the motto "Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission" (my favourite) and that dream of an extended Cape or Flinders or Simpson trip remains just that a dream....................er um sorry............do I sound enviouse.......(-:

hehe, have a good trip.........Browny
