Done, Dot.
Caroline's youngest (18) is on his way to you, he and his furniture will be there by next Wednesday, with the dog
We will send our address when we stop in 20 yrs or so

[Dot]

All my cougar dreams and I didn't have to look, an 18yr old and even a dog as a bonus pet I knew a fellow kiwi would be good to me. Thank you Caroline and Martin

[T1 Terry]

Maybe practice the whisper technique, so the people next door an't hear what you are whisperig in his ear an 18 yr old and Dot the Cougar, the poor lad won't even see the yr out

[dapope]

Parked at eneabba, it meant a turn north when we came inland
F fffff freezing.....
The young fella has a very long tounge......

[T1 Terry]

Keep going with sales pitch Martin and you will be auctioning him off to the highest bidder.... could help to regain some of the expenses involved with an 18yr old, they can eat enought to feed a small village at that age, well the males anyway, the females seem to live on fresh air and bird seed, just the clothing is the problem with them.

[Dot]

The lad won't have time to feed IV lines are for on the goers. Relation of Gene Simmons hey Martin? Should be rearing to go by Friday after all the necessary blood tests have been done. I will make sure the dog is fed well on that you can be sure. Keep warm and enjoy your trip back to work to pay your taxes for us mob sucker

[dapope]

Back at base
The young fella refused to get on the bus, and the dog is stuck to Caroline's feet
Clearly we need to rethink this...
Looks like it will be work on Monday after all
Great trip, NO PUNCTURES! Not even on the Tanami!
No breakdowns.




After a month long Silence Grey has finally decided to speak out about the tragic events that lead up to what we now Know as the Wolfe Creek Shattering .
When this reporter asked him to recount the events he spoke in a shaky but determined manner .
" We all feared what might happen as soon as we heard them discussing Wolfe Creek during our morning spa. After a vigorous drying we settled into our places and the door was closed . An eerie Silence settled on us all as we awaited the turning of the key.
Let me take this time to describe how it was . ... " He pauses and looks into the distance
hauntedly he then snaps back to my attention and continues
"You have to remember, " he stares at me imploringly " we had travelled a fair way and had got to know each other as well as any travelling group can. There was a core group and then there was Mr & Mrs but they weren't ever really part of our set ." He totters and bows like a King "More your pinky finger in the air type if you ask me . Don't get me wrong in a pinch neither one of em would back away from hot water . Anyway as I said we waited . There came the familiar sounds like any other day and Then " he stares into my eyes earnestly , " we turned . "
"At first we thought it a great adventure , Jostling along , Some were even enjoying the bumping around but then we got upset.
"I have to tell you I was more than a bit rattled but it was Bluey ... "Grey 's voice crack s a little on the Name and he again has that haunted distant look .
"we could hear them laughing ! " , he implores me ,"Laughing " he says again for emphasis
He turns back to me and in a calmer Controlled voice he Continues


Bluey was really rattled, you might say he was right
on the edge . we all tried to rally around him except for this bloody one from China who kept telling him he was a mug. Mr and Mrs asked China to be quiet but , and I think it was the young 'fancy man' over there who flat out told him to 'Shut the cup up!" Grey looks slightly embarrassed "Pardon my language , not really my cup of tea you know . Anyway there was this poor fellow Bluey , on the edge ."
I lean in closer knowing he has set everything in place and I wait. Grey continues now in a frantic flurry.
"Next thing I know the door flies open we are all engulfed in bright light and dust , I hear a thud a crash and then in the far off distance I hear screaming; and I realise, it is me." Grey looks at me incredulously.
"I look down and there is Bluey... . Oh the horror" he says flatly.
A long silence ensues as I try to understand what Grey is telling me and I softly ask, "Help me to get a handle on what you are saying.
Unexpectedly he shouts at me ! "A handle ? A HANDLE ! " Don't you see you foolish woman,..." Grey sobs, "... he had NO HANDLE ! " and the horror of what had happened that day was brought to reality and laid on the table before me.

[Dot]

Penile cranium you are... Tell that lad he has no idea how close he came to heaven and hell all at the same time Like Terry he only gets the one offer. After 18 yrs they are not too easily trained so he's really blown it. Anyway it seems you had a nice relaxing time away ready for the next escape, you certainly saw some beautiful sights of this big country. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
