Barmy in Oz

[Sweaty]

Just wondering how your trip down under went Dave. Hope you enjoyed it mate. You can probably tell me a few things about the place. Been overseas quite a bit, but as usual, I have only seen the east coast of my own country.

I can't remember Sweaty, did we get any pic's of said trip?  I know someone (Buddy?) had a beer or 3 with him, but don't recall any actual photographic evidence of said visit.   (Ole timers disease on my part maybe?)

[VladTepes]

Yeah he's a slack bugger. Comes all this way and doesn't even waste any of his time flying out of his way to see me.. really

No Col, i have not seen or heard anything that proves he actually came here 
So until i see some pics, then it never happened. As for Buddy, well, there is always a favourite

OK ok - I have been holding off on posting because I guess I was one of the few Aussies he caught up with BUT now that you have asked

Pic 1 - Dave sent picture of the lovely Kathy and himself so we could recognise them when we met (Minus the Koala)
Pic 2 - As a result of Daves picture I obliged and sent Dave a picture of Fiona and mygoodself (Minus the frilled neck lizard)
Pic 3 - The evidence that we got together

Are you sure that's the real Dave?  not his doppelganger?   
The real Dave only has stumps where his fingers were, caused from years and years of polishing anything & everything.    




Nice to see a pic though, thx.

Didn't think you guys would want to see touristy type photos LOL. But yes my wife and I had a great time visiting Australia, would like to have caught up with a number of you, but our schedule (unfortunately) was a little hectic. As we spent sometime up Cairns way at Port Douglas, Trinity Beach and the Atheryon Tablelands - also it was where we had built in some downtime to refresh our clothes - we were able to meet up with a Buddy.

I'll post a few pics up later from our trip. Sure as hell missing it right now with 4cm of snow and a temp of -2 to -5 outside at present!

We used to have a name for 'non stop' trips back in the day . . .  Rice Burners. 
The Asians were forever doing them, 12 - 18 hours flying, then off sightseeing on arrival from dawn to dusk for 3-5 days. The poor buggers were absolutely shot & slept on the coaches, come to a stop, all awake, snap pic, back on & asleep again. Reason they took so many pic's was cause they never saw it while they were there!

Anyway, I don't think you'd have done that to yourself.   Yep bung up the pic's, I've not seen much of our west island as yet, only a small bit of it.

Well it's going to be 31,35,39 Celsius for the next 3 days & between 30-37 for 5 days after that in north/west Sydney, so a big difference for sure
