Changes a lot since then.
Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

"tanks" here--
Good to hear from you again Bob & Bev and the "beast". I am still off the road pending repairs to the Iveco engine and a lengthy law suite against Skippers and United Fuel but I hope to be mobile again in 2016 sometine. At least in time to get over for the Easter gathering.
As an alternative location to get together have a look at Lake Elphinston which is inland and near Mackay Qld. Ash and Wendy give it a good report and there is no limit on how long you can stay. Full ammenities and a very nice location with lots of activity -fishing/bird watching/walking etc.

It's not correct Keith. What site did you use? Not saying it's a good site to visit, in my opinion it is a very poor site for the purpose, but dogs are allowed there.

Thanks Tanks....last updated December 2013.....and it was dog friendly then, so their information is wrong. Yes it does have a 7 day limit (but arrangements can be made). If offered a choice I would still prefer Lake Elphinstone...no water on site, but available in Town.

OK time I think to do a poll for the decision between Bedford weir or Lake Elphinstone . Shall ask the Boss to set it up. Majority will rule. Is everyone ok with this??
