Jen, If you really want a Caramello Koala just PM me, and i will send you some.

We have heaps of them, It is a wonder the van made it home, after all the shells, and rocks, from the beach, and chockies we brought home

Yeah that Leon is a terrible soak, led myself and Phil right up the garden path, ended up being a dry argument so Anna and I thought we better head back.

BTW nice pics Leon. I must get around to posting some of mine!

Hey John, Hi mate, gee it was so good to meet with you, and Anna, we had a great trip, those mountains, but sadly it ends so quick.

Looking forward to our new adventure, maybe we will camp next to you again.

And by the way guys, I won at pool.

Leon

Hey Leon!
First time to say hello to you.

I bet the only disappointing aspect of the holiday was that it wasn't long enough.
I went to Tassie a few times in the mid 70's. Beautiful cold place.

The pic of the bridge, I think I was told in the dim dark past that it was the first bridge to have been built in Australia of any substance. The bricks were hand made by convicts.

The pic of "Teeko and the vicious guard dog", Where's the vicious guard dog?????

Dark clear skies to you Leon

Marty PS enjoyed the pics.

Good holiday shots. You obviously had a great time Leon. Did you have any trouble finding caravan parks that accept pets (your dog that is!)?
From one of your pics. it seems as if you did some free-camping too.

Seems like the weather held up for you. Any good sky watching?
Robert

Rob, Actually there are plenty of pet friendly camp grounds, and we really didn't have any trouble doing the things we wanted with a small dog, he is quite comfortable, and likes staying in the van if necessary, if we wish to go some where were he can't go.

That's good to know Leon. We have a larger dog, Curly-coated Retriever, who is now 14 y.o. We can't kennel her any more while we are away, so she comes with us and lives in the caravan too. Only problem is that we can't visit National Parks! Leaving the dog in the car or van on a hot day is not possible. She doesn't mind us being away for an hour or so but a full day's excursion would be too much.
Ah, the things we do for our dogs!

Mt God, its raining here.

Robert
