Oldfart's travelling salvation show.
 

Mrs OF and I recently began a 2 year trial retirement so we can get out and see the country and it's wonders while we're still young enough. At the end of the 2 years we'll see if we want to stay retired or go back to work.

During this time I'll stay in touch with a prepaid wireless connection and whatever wifi I can scrounge.

Our first stage is from here to Adelaide on the Ghan (google it) on New Years Eve then drifting north-east.

We hope the two of you have lots of fun and see some wonderful sites. Just start a travel log to make the rest of us envious.

My soul needs saving. When is your trip to the dungeon?

Probably not till 2010 now, courtesy of the exchange rate and what the slide did to my superannuation. We might find it cheaper to bring you over here (snicker).

Oldfart,

Well good for both of you!

We'll see who hasn't killed the other by Easter.

What ScareCrow ^^^ said. Especially the last part. ;)

Good on ya!!! :thumbs:




(And I absolutely recall the cornerstone thread about the Ghan :cool: )

What PF ^^^ said :nod: Have a great time, OF and Mrs OF :wave:

Congratulations, OF. Here's hoping the Mrs and you have an absolutely wonderful time and get to see and experience everythnig your hearts desire. Two great people that deserve nothing but the best!

((((( HUGS )))) from us to you!

DB & the Mrs

Have a wonderful time and remember to keep holding hands......that way you can't kill eachother! :brows:

:wave:


The OldFarts should be about 5 hours down the tracks on a life experience journey that I anxiously wait for them to share with us as it unfolds. :) I wish them the safest trip and look forward to seeing some of the Oz site that I personally know will be viewed by the eye and mind of not the ordinary tourists.


:line:

Drop a line if you come by the Emerald City!

Safe travels. :wave:

Have fun but be safe. :)

Looking forward to seeing your country through your pictures.

Hi all.

I'll get some pics on soon.

We stayed in Adelaide for a few days, visiting a few wineries, then went up-country

to stay in a grand old house (complete with ghost, apparently).

We have driven like the wind across boring stuff heading to Newcastle to see family.

There is no emergency, but we want to get the obligations out of the way early.

We are in Narrandera, a place famous only for being Narrandera.

:mad: Well it's about time. Ya didn't see anything in Alice Springs, or just nothing ya want to show us? You must think you can keep us poor folk stupid about the rest of the world. I hate when you are always right. :banghead:
