BOGGER BLOGGER BUGGER

We dropped into see Ros at Mullumbimby on our way back up towards the Gold Coast where we are now. The caravan park we are staying at here has wireless broadband internet throughout the whole place so we are online in the comfort of our bus, cool eh? And we get 2 hours free each day!! We arrived at Mullum in the dark on Monday night and I attempted to do a U-turn and be ready to drive straight out in the morning, not realising how much rain they had had since we were here a month ago, ooops…..soft ground……stuck fast……didn’t need to put our wooden steps out at the front door as we had sunk down enough to not need them…… I drove the car up the road in the morning to get some help to get out of there and found Dave the organic farmer who came and gave us a pull with his tractor but unfortunately it was a bit on the small side and we did not move. He gave me a couple of names and numbers of bigger tractor owners who I called. Wayne and Peter brought their decent sized tractors over and managed to get us out with a bit of pulling to and fro, delayed our departure quite a bit but another lesson learned and more experienced gained. They were happy with a box of Crown Lager for their efforts. Some of the buses and fifth wheelers at this caravan park are quite amazing, with all their slide out sections and razamataz, makes our old girl seem like the old boiler, but we love her all the same, she has soul! It was nice to have people so willing to help us out of our situation and who were happy to drop what they were doing to assist us, we appreciate their efforts immensely.

Hey kids - what can I say, looks like you're living the high life! I was just sitting in my lounge next to the lovely lamp you guys gave us and thought I'd have a look for your site. Haven't had time to read through your other adventures just yet - will wait till Therese gets home and we'll go through them together. Talk about wanderlust. Big news for us - in about 8 wks we'll be parents! Might have to name it Waverley, if you get my drift. Our house is nearly finished, so's my PhD, and my nerves! Trying to keep it all together, exciting times. Let me know if you get this and I'll fill you in on more. Oh, by the way, lost those photos we all took at Federation Sq unfortunately - Greg (T's bro) first lost the download cable to his camera and then he lost the camera before we could get to the photos. Bit sad really! Anyway, keep well and keep enjoying yourselves ya mongrels. I'll keep working for the man. Love, Linc and T
