Hi Warren,
Good to hear from you again. Sorry to hear about Pam's dad.
Nice move to Vic, but be prepared when the cold blast blows in.
Looking forward to your updates on the move.
Cheers,
Bo

Welcome back! We lost a family member on Christmas eve some years ago. There is never a good time to lose someone but that is a very bad time. Commiserations.

There are a lot of bikes on Phillip Island but not many recumbents!

Hi Warren

Sorry to hear about your father in law.

I've been to Phillip Island a few times, it is a beautiful area, I think you'll enjoy the change from Mackay.

It will definitely be a lot cooler than what your used to.

I saw heaps of riders while I was there last week but you are right I saw no recumbents there is a group there riding. And then you have the big bikes on the track I could hear then

Sad to hear of your loss Warren & Pam. On the flip side welcome to the (almost ) deep south, you'll soon get used to the weather, a variable climate is nice, when it's cold you can always put another jumper on and it's brilliant when you're on the bike.

I am looking foward to cooler weather it is a minimum of 27 at night up here and much to hot to cycle anywhere. Thanks for your thoughts.

, westernport bay and I have to say you will enjoy some dark skies and be able to observe the aurorae when they appear.
Regards Paul.

Hi Paul I was down there last week and what little of the sky I saw between clouds was very dark and I was hoping there would be some aurora. We will have to catch up looks like we are going to be close as the crow flys or by boat but not by car
