count me in as well, probably camp saturday night, i think i'd better invest in an unbreakable lens for my lamp before this trip
the old girl should be running well again by then, clutch master and slave replaced, and new water pump next week, not as expensive as lucky phils navarra but still “ouch”
poodroo I’ll be bringing my version of the the scream meter, otherwise known as “the smiler” . as her grin never stops.

Sorry Graham you are right. I had met you and Terry for the first time at Levuka so I kept getting the two Patrols mixed up. It was Terry that had to be winched out of that bog hole. Tim in the other Pajero also got winched out of the same hole and Brett in his Lux managed to pop his front left tyre off the rim in that same hole. It's all coming back to me now with the help of the odd photo.The only time I got stuck, was in front of you down in the slush, and I was able to get out under my own power.
Terry needed to be winched out,
Graham.

Well, that was an experience. Sorry for my lack of contribution to this thread over the last few days, but we can thank Optus for that.
Got a letter from them saying they were to ' switch me over to Optus Direct and that I would not have phone or internet for 15 minutes whilst this happened ". That was at 11am Thursday 20/3/08. 121 hours later, I get my internet back.
So it appears that we have very good numbers attending on the 19th.
The trip from the start point " servo at Morayfield / Caboolture " to the section that takes us over the Bruce highway and onto Coochin creek will take about 3-4hours. This depends on how long we stop for lunch and how much rain we've had leading up to the day.
I found another great " viewing ' area that is only 200mtrs off the intended track.
I will post up some details soon in regard to the ' signs ' I found along the way to make the trek easier to follow than the book.
I am awaiting a return message from Magellan as to what datum my GPS is set to, as it is NOT WGS84, which is a bugga, hopefully it can can be re-set to the widely used one.
We are still a few weeks away from the trip, so if anyone has any suggestions or queeriespost them up now.
What I will ask is that we nominate a UHF channel, and that those with winches spread out amongst the field, not that a winch will be needed.
To remind us all, the meet time is 8am with a departure at 8.30am on the 19th.
OH, did anyone guess the repair cost to the Nissan..... ??
5600

G'day Phill, it seems to me that Optus are having some organizational problems at the moment as I am with them as well. I did the switch over to DSL direct more than a year ago and it went smoother than it did for you however about three weeks ago they offered via an email a special offer. Brand new state of the art ADSL2 modem for free if I signed up with them for another year. I had no intentions of changing so I took them up on the offer. Only today I thought I had better ring them because I still have not received the new modem. I asked them how long it usually takes and I was surprised when they said 3 days maximum. With many apologies the new modem should land on my doorstep by Monday next week. By the way I didn't have to guess how much your Nissan costed to repair. I had a spy who told me.
Cheers,
Poodroo

The Brew is also considering the trip, I gotta dilema, do I take the New Diesel Jeep Commander or the 2003 Toyota Hilux 4WD work ute ? ah I think the Jeep can stay on the bitumen for another month or two, my old company car is a 2000 Toyota model 100 series I just had it converted to a dual cab ute, my offsider drives it, I am sure he will be keen to give it ago as well, ( he was on board for our Brisbane River Protest)I will check in tomorrow with numbers.
