Yes this is a heads up ..... Please all be aware that there is a new brand of menace on the roads ..... Its called Bob65 :P
 Bob65 & his loverly wife ( aka known as Dad & Mum) have hit the roads & headed north for the winter. They are known to be in Goondawindi this evening & making a nuisance on the roads all the way to Proserpine(sp?) for about 12months..... Should anyone come across them give them a wave, although Bob65 loves a chat & will talk about anything thats related to Fords, racing & fishing :P Another warning should be issued to the truck drivers amongst us ....... Bob65 was a long time driver who always threatened to pull a caravan to torment the new time drivers ...... Looks like he has done as he always said he would :P |

 Will keep everyone posted on where there at ..... I know there is talk of stopping around Tin Can Bay at some stage on the return ;) Any other suggestions on places to stay that has good fishing & reasonable vanpark fees on the coast are always welcome too ..... I will be in constant contact with them to let them know. |

If they have time and the desire, tell your dad to check out King Ash bay in the NT. Take the McCarther river out to the coast and drop a line or two for some awsome fishing!! Red emporer and other delicasies (SP?) await. We are heading there in November..... But dont go in the wet season what ever they do!!
