 Hey boss, I think you got the photos mixed up, here is the one of you

We have changed our route we have decided to go through the middle first will be leaving here about mid May so may catch up with some of you Lacey

Hey DeBe are you and Elbe going to catch up with somewhere along the way, like maybe Pt. Augusta and do some or all of the trip

We will make it before the 17th then I would say.

We will work around that John.  How long you going for?

Can't give you a date yet JRH.  The closes I can say at this point in time is late September but more likely mid October.

I would suggest a weekday at Whiteman Park, less people, but may have to check if the trams are running on that day.

Regards arriving Perth, if you draw a horizontal line across Perth, you would need to be above the line in September in the mid west to see the wildflowers, August is a bit early, and if going south of the line to the south around October......

Not sure where we will be this point in time, but would suggest make a date for Whiteman Park (in the burbs east and slightly north of Perth) and we all try to be there at that time. Not everbody will be able to make it at that time but at least it is a starting point for those who can......

Entry to Whiteman Park (Caversham) is free, as is a small museum there, however others like the motor museum and the zoo you have to pay an entry fee, this is a link to the zoo there;

Remind me how cold it is when I'm missing Canberra at around -7 in the winter.

I'd be swimming at 15c....

By "Cold" you mean a brisk bracing 20c???

I would suggest a weekday at Whiteman Park, less people, but may have to check if the trams are running on that day.

Yes Paradise, we will catch a Paradise tram at Whiteman park...

 Let's hope we have some nice weather on that day Mate.  We used to be able to predict with some certainty what the weather would be doing but it has all gone to hell now, still fingers crossed.

Ok as your leader I have got together with the wonderful people at PETS and their suggestion is that we should partake of a picnic at the Mussel Pool then drive a "special" up to the "Village" and have a fun day of it. I'm assuming one of us could drive a tram????

This would have to happen on a Tuesday, Friday Sat Sun or pub hol unless in School hols then anyday would work for them.

This is of course unless you weatern staters want to get together and orgynise a meet over a few days at a camp ground.... But you are going to have to do 2 or more depending of the number of splinter groups that turn up.

Thoughts and anaylsis?

Oh PETS website : http://www.pets.org.au/index.html

Hold the presses....

Just had word from Port Pirie Dave 06 will be joining our group there, well at Pt Augusta ...

wow, I know the West is great, but can it put up with all you lot. lol

Which way are you heading over there Dawa? I hope to be leaving Adelaide early June heading Nth then down the west coast. Maybe we'll be crossing paths somewhere along the road.
