Are you going to tell him the real trip? Or the one we send him on?

Might be better if we did it Sunday arvo then? I think it would be good for Brian and Bec to be at the meeting. Give them a chance to get excited about it as well as have some input.

There isn't really much input that has to be done though. We really have our dates set that we can be away and the date we have to be home. We know where we are going and at pretty much what date as well.

Once we work out the nitty gritty of days around alice/ayres rock, we then know how long we have to go to Wollogorang before we have to go home.

I have a feeling this trip is going to be a fair bit more hectic than the last one. Same time off with 2000k's more driving.

He'll probably put us to work if we hang around too long ;) You'll get sicked onto the brumby


As for tourist stuff around Alice Springs, I'm not overly interested as I did it last year and my passenger has indicated a very keen interest in getting to Wollogotraz for some hunting/fishing/exploring etc.

They're cheap for a reason Wilbur.

And don't be scared of a little bit of hard work.

New staff member.

My co worker has decided to quit in May. Just my f...ing Luck.
Now I need to find a replacement and get her trained enough to be able to go.

If you look in the third pic at the white rocks, they are the sharp tyre killers. The aboriginals used to use them to make spears.

You're a pr1ck Wilbur. I am doing my best at the moment to not think about this trip. It is too hard to keep my mind on other things otherwise.

Just found out I have got another job, starting Friday. So now we know how we are going to pay for the trip. Just got to let them know at some stage that I am taking a month off soon.
