    Thought I'd better utilise this spot

    Leaving Jabiru (Kakadu) Monday 16th November.

    First overnite stop Daly Waters Pub ~ 600km http://www.dalywaterspub.com/

    The rest I still have to work out

    Will post an itinery probably this weekend.

    I have a camera, mounted video camera and laptop with me to keep you informed of the trip. (if the modem speed lets me)

    Once I get to Edenhope on Sat 21st Nov for the Pub challenge and survive the hangover, its off to the great ocean road on Sunday and a bit of a tour around country Vic until Sat 28th.

    Then its back to the Edenhope pub for another session (poker run) after that I have 2 weeks to get back. Thinking Mount Panorama lap at Bathurst, visit the son in Singleton, Hunter valley and then onto Gladstone to visit a mate.

    Then make my way home via who knows where

    Will try and keep you posted
