hi there dirk

it was great me and the mrs got to meet you and chat for a few hours and swap stories

the effort made by dale to give his time to show you around vic and all others around the country a big thanks, the bbq went well and all had a great time, hoping to see the pics on here soon

i cant wait to get my car on the road for more events like this, even if some are interstate

and thanks for your present it was totaly unexpected DIRK

we had a 4 hour drive home and saw the devestation of the fires on the way home, the closest fires to us were half an hour away, lots a smoke when got home but luckily not blowing our way,

its a pity u cant beam me down scotty to take a car back with you, i bet if you went to my place ud find a way to get one of my sedans back home without me noticing lol.

melbourne is the place where it all began 30 years ago, and where its gone around the world since then is just mind boggilllllling

cheers alan & karen

Trying to keep up with the posts.....
4th of February:

We were really lucky twice this day to gain permission to take these photos.

May Swaisey's house was heavily renovated and more added to the
back of the house and also behind the courtyard.
I took a series of photos and will make a 360° panorama picture to show
here when I'm back in Germany.

Fat Nancy's (Pretty Sally Roadhouse) is quite a bit of a mess, but at least its still there.
Dale figured out were he took off with the Goose scoot, because the base of the petrol pump is still there.
If you look toward the road, its looks a bit different, because there is now a line of trees in the front.

more to come soon.....

Jessie, you have no sense of humour...

The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel, it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this, now if your lucky ? you can hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go !

Reminder ... Dirk and I will be at Little River B&B from around 6 or 7pm for anyone able to pop in for drinks, chats and farewell Dirk from the Melbourne leg of his trip, which he continues at Adelaide late tomorrow 12th.

(We'll somehow set up all pics and little video's of his trip to date).

If you arrive and we are not there, we may be cruising nearby HIGHWAY 9 SECTOR 26, so give us a call on Dirk's Oz mobile 0431 666 821.
