4 of us at the moment plan to meet up with Bruce and Wendy some where near Murray bridge, Bruce has mentioned Walker Flat that looks great on google maps. Sort of a combined work party to help Bruce fit up the lithium batteries and a few other little jobs and a social get together with anyone who wishes to turn up.
Those attending so far:
Brian (Homeless) & Trixie
T1 Terry & Margaret
Bruce & Wendy
Dottie & George (but only for a few of the days)(Not coming?)
Peter (Pet-els)
Chuck & Catrina
Kay & Bruce (Maccas, AKA oma)
Greg & Dee (Can't make it)
Bob & Lyn (bobk)
Eddie (Edward Higgs aka Wombat)
Gordon & Wendy (Bugman)

Possibly attending

Jenny & Mike (Aussie Girl?)

Martin (Dapope) & Caroline (can't get the time off)
John, Shirley & Beau Can't make it
Ros & The Boss (Ivan)? Going else where, what a hide :lol:
Bruce asked for this to be added at the start of the thread

NOTICE ! !
I have an update for those contemplating the Easter get together at Walker Flat, SA.
Walker flat, SA is some distance away from Murray Bridge (64.5km), and depending on where you are coming from, you may need to cross the ferry at Walker Flat to get to the WESTERN side of the River Murray. (Adelaide side)
I'll post some possible ways to get there at a later date.

Some of us have had extreme anxiety about where we will be parking/camping as at Easter time the River Murray in general tends to be flooded with campers of all types......... tents, backs of vans, caravans etc etc as well as thousands of day trippers.
Dot, through her vast network of friends and acquaintances, has been in touch with someone that has the ability to allow (or not) people to camp in a certain area within a km or so of Walker Flat, SA.
The where-about of this area will only be divulged to those who are attending at a date to be determined yet.......... closer to Easter.
It's possible there may be SOME water available, a toilet MAY be available and a little power available "for medical reasons". (sleep apnea, asthma etc)

Although this area is a short distance from the River, there will be cars available (no doubt!) for transportation if needed.
We hope this effort of Dots will give us a backup plan if indeed the riverside areas are not available.

Tempting though

So what bait do we need to use to increase the temptation for Chuck & Martin :lol:
Apparently there is a show once a mth with the oompah band and dancers and bell ringers at Hahndorf on the last Sunday of the mth, that would make it the 27th, a week after Easter. So we are tossing up whether to stay the extra days and do the show, Brian says it's well worth it.
