Hi all we're bringing the Proper little Propert & were thinking of driving the car, but Rob's talking about driving the truck up & over Lions Rd or Border Loop to Rathdowney via Kyogle & Wiangaree, which means we'll bring some firewood from home! We'll let you know by Wed.
We'll bring a roast beef for the camp oven plus spuds & sweet potatoes.

It's raining here so we're taking car/Propert so our stuff doesn't get wet on back of ute. That means we can't bring a load of wood like other times.
We're also bringing 3 boxes of china for Banno (as Louise & Phil may not get to Flanagans due to L's mother is ill) so will try & throw a few logs in the back of the Propert! Looking forward to it, have a 1.3 roast beef for the camp oven, plus some veges. See you all Frid.
Rob & Cathie

A fine day dawns for a great weekend away. Looking forward to meeting and putting face to names on the forum. Now where to fit the coffee machine - oh, that's right no power. I wonder if a 12v coffee machine has been invented? This might have to be my next project. Cheers, Mrs Smiley

Gidday All, well that was another great weekend away with VV friends. Great company, great venue and just a great time had by All. Just to let you All know we cooked another fine batch of Griddle Cakes 96 in total. See you All at the Mingle @ Maroochy. We will not be at Milmerran as we will be attending the ASRF Hot Rod Nats at Geelong.

What a great weekend. ;D ;D Many thanks to Dosse for organising it and laying on the sausage sizzle on Friday night. The camp oven get together on saturday night was very good, with great company, superb food and lots of laughs ;D ;D Banno, Joey & the boys. Your griddle cakes are great, thanks again. The last few of us to leave Flannagans on Sunday were all travelling north, so we decided to stop at a pub for lunch. Stan suggested a pub near Jimbooba. It was lovely food at very reasonable prices. If we go back to Flannagans again, I reckon we will have to try that pub for lunch again on the way home. ;D ;D Only 17 sleeps until Millmerran (not that i'm counting) Luv Di

Thanks Bannos. I like the way you put names to faces and vans so others can figure out who is who.

Hey Joey,
Thanks for sharing the photos you took, and sharing the fun. Looks like the boys had a great time in and on the water, good to see a couple of new vintage vans in your pics too.
Glad you all had such a great time, look forward to seeing you all in May.
