Re: Hello from Col49
Wow! I'll be a month behind you with the retirement game Col!!
'49 must have been a cold year with all the 'cuddling' that went on?
What are your plans for your first BIG trip?
Welcome & enjoy!!

Welcome from the small island Col, Hope you stick around for a while and join in the fun....

Re: Hello from Col49
Hi Bruce
2009 Madigan line crossing( nth Simpson Desert)
2010 Hay River track and as far west as Warakirna WA
2011 Tourist trip to Cairns and Reef
2012 Jenny & I toured western Qld via Sananah Way into NT, 2 months
2013 Tour of Maralinga, then Emu claypan, Len Beadells 200 mile post, Ann Beadell hwy to Ilkurka, Wingalina, Warakirna,
Alice Springs, Tanami Rd to Wolfe Creek, Canning Stock route to Wiluna, Kalgoorlie to Esperance, then home.
With the rough 4wd trips my wife stayed home as she has a back problem.
I have to fit in with my sister next year as our mother is still living on her own at 89 years old, probably Eire peninsula, Flinders area, central Aust as Jenny hasn't been there since 1990
2016 The big one going anti clockwise, Jenny is a flower lover and nothing will get in her way to see the wild flowers blooming in WA
As I will only be a partly self funded retire, I have to get organised because on 31 th Dec the rules change and Centrelink payment reductions will be permanent and unable to be amended after this date.
