Now this is what I call a "Corner Post"

We're back !!!!! After a week up at Carnavon Gorge we are back in range of something electronic. We left Blacktown last Thursday and headed up the highway to Carnavon Gorge with the intention of hiding up there while the Qld long weekend happened, but as usual the masses arrived, but for a change it was a really fun stay. It just happened that all the "On Roaders" or Nomads got put together and were surrounded by the weekend warriors with the hordes of children.

This turned out to be a VERY social little gathering. Ron went out to stake out our drive-thru site and by the time Miss G and I had turned up he was already chatting to the neighbours, from there it was drinks and then the rest of the crew called in and it stayed that way pretty much the entire stay.

We ran into Diane and Phillip on one of the walks and we meet them originally at the Warranbungles easter 08 so it was a reason for yet another get together. On the same walk we bumped into the D and D show, they were on day 4 of there two year trip and have proved to be every bit as much fun as going to IML. (in joke for those who know). Lots of drinks, lots of laughs and everyone had a good time. Rumour has it they are landing here in Emerald today for a rematch, heaven help the park LOL.

Now while all this good time and drinking was going on we DID do the walks, on Friday we did the 22klm to the end and then left the gorge to the warriors for the weekend and on Monday we headed back to do another 8 klm and yes we are still walking.

While all this was going on we were planning the arrival of the Lyns from Lincoln, you know the dinner parties, menu's lots of drinks and of course the amazing sapphire finds that were awaiting us. We had Alby booked for a week to start cutting the fab finds, but unfortunately LP has a really crook back and they cant make it. That of course just postpones the party, NO ONE gets away from us that easily. LOL

I just received an email from Frans and Eveline and they apparently were at Carnavon at the same time as us and we didnt meet up. Dam, it's a long way from Margaret river to here and we missed by a whisker. If you haven't check your email please do as I have sent you my phone number, so ring me if you are still in the area.
