Hello to all

Back from sunny Queensland and excited about the border run, please indicate your intention to tag along well in advance, leaving Perth / Mandurah, Thursday 4th for house at Hopetoun, Friday to camp at Ninety Mile straight, Saturday Border, Sunday head West camp along the way, and arrive home Monday 8th in time to scrub up before the BMW meeting.

I have a growing list of people wanting to join Goldie and I on the Southern route and will converse by email with the chosen ones before hand, send me a private message with your contact details and I will add you to the circulation list.

Regards
Cookie :P 8)

We are back, Neville and I rolled in just before 1 today, what fantastic weather, 3100km under the belt and loved every minute, the RT performed flawlessly on and off road despite heckling from Ayhab.
