Think we need to sort a mid-trip SA meet in Adelaide.

Could also help with a spot to layover as well.

My plan would be to head up to Mildura and across from there, avoid Adelaide and the traffic too - unless we gathered a larger convoy on the way through.

But alas, read below for my position on this :(

That's awesome! I guess you've got to get to your fishing spot somehow!

This makes me really want to be there. But with the way this year has panned out for me I'm very unfortunately tipping towards the not going to make it side of things. It's not only the coin that's the issue there's also some personal things going on that I'll have to see how they pan out - then work on the funding.

It's with a very heavy heart that I'll say to put me down as a no show :( I'm going to be very jealous of those that do make it - and I say to them to make the most of it! Large group get togethers are an amazing experience, especially when you're meeting others (and their rides) personally for the first time!

I'll still be trying to make it. Very torn :cry:

Cheers

So sorry to hear... I'll still be hoping you can make it!

Well, I'm a definite in, so whoever else is coming from Vic, we need to start getting organised!

If the numbers are low, we might as well join the SA guys in Adelaide along the way.

Please try as hard as possible as it would be great to see you there. Even if we have to put together a 'Get Bennie to SA' fund ;)

Yeah, I'm in for that!!

Well, I am about to submit my annual leave form!!

As mentioned before, I will leave Melbs on Jan 3rd, hoping to be at Coffin Bay on Jan 4th late arvo...

Then, start heading back on Jan 11th and be home and hosed Jan 12th, with the Sunday to recover before heading back to work.

Do these dates align with the WA guys coming over? Now's the time to adjust my dates if required.

Cheers,
Pedro.

I'm planning on leaving Perth on Dec 27th, as I'm thinking of taking 2 or 3 days to get across. I need to be back in Perth on the 7th of Jan for work.

By the sounds of it, I'll be travelling over by myself???

Yeah it's a bit more complicated that just the money side of things. Since getting a full time job I'm feeling more time poor and financially poor since we've been slowly repairing/replacing those things that have gone by the way side or that we've held off repairing/replacing. Rent's a killer too. Sorry for the whinge, but it seems that everyone has a hand in your wallet these days :( Just as you feel like you're making some progress something else comes along. I digress...

I still have a memory of a previous one! It was started as a bit of fun after putting my foot in it one boring day at uni. It ended up with me doing this with my brother and our tax returns. Good times until he kill the radiator and shot the newly rebuilt engine - I'm still a bit dark about that, long story.

I'll be getting a tatts ticket and hoping for the best.

Paul, PM sent ;)

Cheers

I'm definitely out, unfortunately :(
I can't get the time off work, my car just isn't ready for a 5000km round trip and money. I don't really want to throw in my new apprenticeship to come. lol

I most likely will be coming across in mid-late 2013 though for a holiday. Atleast then my car will be upto scratch and I come and see/meet a few people :D

I'm very sorry to hear that, Taza...

It seems that the numbers are running a bit thin. I am still in and would like to know who else is definitely in??

We got people from:

VIC:
- Pezimm
-

WA:
- RSR 555
-

SA:
??

Keen to have a roll count, we're about a month away! I will also post this on ORS to see if there's anyone from there coming.

Cheers,
Pedro.

Didn't get any feedback on ORS...

I support the idea of postponing this for a year to build the numbers, if that makes sense?

Will have to find somewhere else cheaper to go this year. :roll:

I'd like to know too, if it is correct then I will almost definitely be in. 1 year is easily enough time to get my car sorted and I can now book my holidays in advanced ;)

For me and my roster at work (in my current position), if it's Jan 2014 then it will need to be after the 9th of Jan and will need to back a week before school starts again.
