I suppose that comes from having grown up here on the Missouri River bottom where there is no bottom under the water. Well that and my fear of croc's. The latter may be unfounded because there are none here in Nebraska.<BR/>You are Da Man. What a great trip. Thanks for taking us on it. You two were the lucky ones for sure.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676389902079486865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11907160.post-8740239772009216462008-10-18T20:41:00.000+10:002008-10-18T20:41:00.000+10:00Gday Peter, Love your new header with the jacarand...Gday Peter, Love your new header with the jacaranda's.<BR/>I remember you showing us the photo's of this trip Well worth another look..

Funnily enough the Postie brought in a huge parcel first and I was all disappointed as I had been waiting on 3 small ones! LOL! He went out to the truck and found your parcel in the back! Yay! We can't wait to open them up and watch them. I saw Ted Egan on ABC the other day and thought I would not mind seeing some more! So what a co-incidence hey?<BR/><BR/>The big parcel turned out to be some sort of convection oven! I really need to stop leaving my darling man at home alone hungry! This is the second time he has been sucked in by the shopping channel while I was out! Really he is hopeless!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again! Have a great weekend!karismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529919522651147308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11907160.post-11074358363454100082008-10-17T10:59:00.000+10:002008-10-17T10:59:00.000+10:00I have to say that I'm very impressed that you mad...I have to say that I'm very impressed that you made it all the way to the tip of the peninsula, that's quite an achievement (I've been as far as Cape Tribulation so I know what's involved).willowtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173637121496772685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11907160.post-76154629250274128482008-10-17T07:55:00.000+10:002008-10-17T07:55:00.000+10:00Looks and sounds like loads of fun and adventure! ...Looks and sounds like loads of fun and adventure!
