Looks like I'm in we need some one else to tow ur trailer Daz as my tow bar is on back order from Thailand (yes that's Ford for you, std on XLT but not XL)
Ill take Sups for an ocean sweep before the wind comes up
Ive been here 2 years now and somehow seem to miss this every year, but not this time.
Im keen to meet you guys and do the Oz Day downwinder.
Send me a PM for contact details and let me know where I can help out.
All good for tow bar, the ship has docked, getting fitted this week.
Hey Daz, what's the go with food, I'm thinking the Bbq is a lot of hassle, how about we just take cold stuff, each bring there own???

i reckon each pack your own lunch, cause im not towing the trailer i want to keep the load down,
should be another top day in the best part of the world
lets hope for wind & waves !!!

TUK IT EASY MAATE
Daz,
Are you guys going to go through Medowie or Raymo?
If your going through Medowie let me know and Ill join the convoy from there.
Doubt Ill have any spare seats but I can bring a portable BBQ if people want to bring meat.
Ive taken my forester on that beach before but just incase does someone have a snatch strap incase I get bogged?
Forester owners should have their own strap on the beach it will help reduce the amount of cartons required to get de-bogged
Medowie not really on the road to Hawks nest but you will be able to catch up somewhere about the terrace bypass.
The forecast ain't looking so good
How often does the BOM get it wrong predicting rain in Newcastle area.
It's un Australian for it to rain on Australia day
hey there boys & girls................. its the rain doctor here. [}:)]
due to the Unforseen future weather im canning the ozzie day trip,
we can all blame flako cause he said to me "what ya gunna do if it rains"??? as it has never rained b4 on my oz day gibber trips,
he, out of the goodness of his heart (&guilt) has offered up his house & pool at hillsbourgh lunchtime thursday for a byo meat & grog bbq !!!!!
he needs numbers for salad & plates, so reply back if your keen...........
if the wind comes up we can kite in his pool. or the 2 labrah-doors(dogs) can tow us across the pool, !!!
sorry..................... rain doctor out !!!!!!!!!!!! [}:)]

I wonder if this weather will reignite Mr Floats thread about not wanting to live in London.
Nothing stopping us having a belated Aust day at gibber in a few weekends time.
I haven't done a downwinder since I left Adelaide 2 years ago so keen as mustard to do them again!
Check out Sunday's forecast. might do aust day on Sunday if not raining?!?
As for tomorrow. We might get a morning kite in & then a few doz drinks at flakos house.
