    Sorry Dave, I only saw you chain sawing Craig's, "Ned Kelly Helmet" from a distance; maybe Alan got a couple....

    PS - What safety gear were you wearing as I seem to have not see any????
    Not even the new thongs!!!

    Great photos Crowie. There seems to be a few extra faces in your first lot that we don't have names for. Can you enlighten us?

    I like "most" of your photo's Peter.
    Except for those ones with that scruffy looking Guy with no sleeves.
    Honestly you'd think he'd at least of had a shave before he got there.
    And no shoes to boot!.
    Some people just seem to take the tone down don't they.

    Good onya mate.
    Hope the trip home wasn't to eventful for you and Ray.

    Cheers
    Trev.

    Thank you Dave & Trev for rescuing the caravan & us from Narraderra; were the NRMA truck dropped us from Lockhart after almost running out of LPG....
    I slept like a log on the Saturday night [exhausted], but did way too much talking on the Sunday to all the blokes who attended and while I enjoyed it all, I had a very disturbed night...
    Monday proved better as I did less talking, plus had 2 "nanna naps" so I could stay up late to watch the Australia Day Firework which were very good down by the Jerilderie lake....
    Dave & Raechell are first class country Australians with hospitality & generosity too boot....what top hosts!!
    We left late morning on Tuesday coming home via West Wylong for a flatter run for towing and while having lunch there, the ever reliable Ian rang to confirm that my car was an AU2 LPG Falcon Auto without an auxiliary oil cooler; something his shop had fitted to dozens of AU2 in the past...all was now clear; as towing Ray's caravan was overheating the gearbox & in turn the engine was running hotter thus using heaps more LPG....after we returned the van to Woodstock & the car was like a rocket ship from there to Oberon...dropped Ray about 7.30-ish & I got home through the fog & rain about 9.30pm....home safe, very tired but relaxed after a top weekend.....
    Thank you Dave again and all the folk who attended to make it great...
    Thank you Ray for the offer to drive me to the gathering, much appreciated....Cheers, crowie..

    PS - I have to sort/cull the 250 photos from the weekend BUT here are the ones from Narraderra servo & our Lockhart stopover....
    In the first lot of photos, is that the Indian after Dave's kids decorated it? (4th last photo)

    Thank you Trev, The trip home was okay, though long-ish and thus tiring.
    We drove through a minor flood of sorts in Grenfull....

    NOW - In refer to that WELL DRESSED BLOKE..........
    I've learned and still learning to NEVER judge a book by its cover...........
    He's one top bloke, indeed....
    ......

    Cheers, Peter

    Thanks Peter
    Good onya!

    I thought the trip home might have been a long one.
    Glad you and Ray got there without to much trouble.

    Cheers
    Trev.

    Default Ray joined the "dark side" & I think he may be hooked, once his new shed is built....

    On Monday, Alan turned up a bowl in super quick turn and presented as a gift to Dave's niece........

    Meanwhile, Dave gave Ray a lesson on the lathe using a 40-50 year old piece of Australian Cedar, which I had been given by the old bloke [Rex], I visit weekly with the local Neighbour Centre Visitor program....

    And WOW, a piece of timber that looked suitable for firewood was "RED GOLD" .........

    With a little instruction and direction from Dave & Alan, Ray produced a beautiful candle stick holder for his wife............
    [and I accidentally left both pieces of the timber with Dave , of well he'll make something very nice from it.... ...]

    Cheers, Peter

    Great pics Crowie. I'm sorry I missed you guys at Dave's but I couldn't stay until 10pm!
    The trip home looked like fun too. Thank you for sharing our landscape with the wider woodie population.
    I'm originally from the coast but I love living out here.

    I have been flat out working since the GTG and this is the first chance I have had to get on the forum.

    To Dave and Family, a very big thank you for putting up with us, your hospitality is tops.
    A big thank you to Dave and Trevor for coming to our rescue.

    Great photos Peter, also looking forward to Al's photos too.

    Looking forward to the next one, its so much better meeting and yarning with a great bunch of blokes.

    My wife Genevieve liked the candle stick holder which would not have been possible without Peter's wood and Dave's instruction.

    Cant wait to build our house and my workshop then I can really get into all those delayed projects.

    Will look at a GTG in the new year at our place at Woodstock.

    Thank you all for a great weekend.
    The person who never made a mistake never made anything

    Cheers
    Ray
