Squizzy is half right.
Don't make your first visit to Victoria otherwise your visit to WA Sandgroper Country will be disappointing. If you visit WA first, you will be delighted but the follow up visit to Victoria will be even better.
We know you have already visited Australia before and if you play your cards right you might even be able play us off against each other. In that way you will be treated like a King all over Australia.
As you know, Australia is a great place everywhere. Perhaps you could collect a bit of timber from each State and make something using it all to remind yourself of your trip. Sharpern your tools well before you start, beautiful timber has it's price - lots of sharpening- Wood Borer

This was in the East Midlands which is a comparatively cheap area to live in ... in London I would almost certainly have paid more.no-one said on their death bed I wish I spent more time in the office!

visiting
To Squizzy,
I had a ticket on the ss ORSOVA to Freemantle in 1954 but got homesick before the sailing date, took up the courting game instead but W.A. is definately on our must see list in the next 2/3 years god willing.
To Victoria and NSW ,
We are coming sometime in the next 8 weeks.woody U.K.

The only thing indecent about it is that it has never happened to me

I had a couple of PM's with Jow and might try to organise a weekend at my place if anyone is interested, I've got 5 acres and the horses won't mind being kicked out of one of the paddocks for the weekend.
BYO tent and whatever, even got a big hayshed if anyone wants to pitch a tent without getting wet.
Might have to organise a portaloo or something though.
Thoughts anyone, a chance to meet a real live pom(apologies to jow from us colonials).
Could even run power if anyone wants to bring a scrollsaw or whatever.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

How about
Sound great Iain.
If its a weekend party can I suggest for openers either Saturday 29th January or Saturday 5th February.
But I can be entirely flexible, except I shall want to be back in Sydney Saturday 12 Feb for flight home.woody U.K.

Sounds spot on to me. Won't stay the night and I can't make it on Feb the 5th but other than that, keep me in the loop.

problem but overcome
One of those days...........................
Digressing from woodwork, I had the previous day reserved flight seats to Oz, and during the next 24 hours I was making arrangements for van hire, kennels for pets, and all the things you do when arranging your hols. I then telephoned the travel agents to confirm the booking and make the payment. That’s when things started to go wrong. I gave all the usual details, card number, and date of birth, passport number etc. etc. and then........................
the man on the other end of the telephone said I would have to fax a copy of my credit card front and back, and my bank statement heading. NOT BL O,O.D..Y LIKELY I SAID. and told him I was reporting to the credit card company.
The credit card companies fraud department knew of the other sides name and told me to cancel all arrangements and never to do such a thing as requested.
I am pleased to say I have managed to keep the same holiday arrangements with a new booking agent but this did curtail woodwork pleasures for the day.woody U.K.

planning
Thanks again for your welcoming gestures to our intending visit in Jan/Feb and
I see that woodborer has responded.
Had a minor scare yesterday with the booking set up, but hopefully things have sorted themselves out.
Janet & I (john) are looking forward to our trip but although we have booked a small camper van we are not retired hippies (honest). We will more than likely stay at motels etc. on route as we did in January this year. Its sometimes very comfortable to have a van when touring instead of a car, you can change to go on the beach or dressup for a restaurant if its necessary. Also if motels are fully booked you can always park somewhere for the night. OR CAN YOU?woody U.K.
