EerWeGoAgen Departs Sept 1st 2013

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Chuck can you actually read the passing vehicles rego number?
I've seen so many videos recorded that really aren't good enough for any court action if needed.
Even a lot of these burglar break-ins in shops & supermarkets are that terrible that actual face recognition is not possible.

Clydes at Narrandera Oct.jpg
Bus at Boat ramp rest area Narrandera.jpg
Went up the street at 10am and there was stalls here and there along the main ST and the army band was playing. The celebrations are for the 150yrs of the existence of Narrandera. Then the parade started and I got one pic away and the batteries died. Of course the spares were back in the bus and the shops were closed for the festivities so one is all you get. Beautiful wide streets here. It seems some of the locals decided to pull down the sign of the place where we were but that has now been fixed so it is in Camps 6.. Rest area # 836. P.150 HEMA 43G11. And is called the Narrandera Boat Ramp Rest Area.. Filled up with water and it looked clear and had no smell so should be ok when gone through the filtration system. Decided to head off as we are starting to slip behind time to get home..

Now we are set up for the night at the BIRDCAGE Rest Area (one on either side of the road) we are on the tree / river side. Camps book 6. Camp area # 857 (East bound ) p 151. HEMA 43F9. And the West bound spot is # 856. Has drop dunnies rubbish bins and water (not for drinking)

Looks like you're in a hurry to get home Dot....well, we have to be back Adelaide way by 20 th November as we have a nice house dog sheep sit in the hills for a few days and we will, of course, be catching up for another paella if you're up for one?

We are a week away from leaving Bucca near Bundaberg, sorting out the van and guess what! Fridge has stopped working on 240! I pointed out to Greg that as long as it works on gas then all is not lost.

Anyway, don't forget to stop to smell the roses!

Don't really have much of an option now due to the "Curry smellers" have to be home otherwise we would be dribbling much more slowly. Has been good to give the bus a good run though, nothing apart from my back has given way so that is good. Just soooooooooo jealous of all the wood laying around the place :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Finally... managed to scrounge a little gizmo - you'll know what it's called - to take the mini chip out of the camera, then plug the gizmo into the laptop to enable us to view the video.

In a word - brilliant. Clear as &, yes, you can read the rego numbers on the cars.

We viewed the last trip we did from Goomalling down to Midland in Perth & at one point we were driving around the main shopping centre where there were heaps of occasions to view the rego plates.

Didn't have anyone pass us on the trip... well, it is a Landcruiser twin turbo V8 !! :D ... but there were a few occasions as we were pulling up at traffic lights where the plates on vehicles in front of us in 2 lanes were definitely readable.

Just had a chat to Phil, the ebay guru here at the Goomalling van park & the bloke who showed me the playback on his laptop when he bought his & that decided us to have him grab one for us - sort of... well - he says the camera is HD, hence the really clear viewing.

Hope this is what you're looking for Bruce, can highly recommend it from this end.

Squished bunnies, how horrid are you, :?: heaps of knocked roos and a few puddy tats though. Now at YANGA Rest area, STOP # 871. p.152. HEMA 42G6. Big enough for any size rig but some places on a lean. No loos, but there is a rubbish bin and table & chairs and a few trees. And plenty of those sticky flies. Good way off the highway . What a horrid road it has been so far, I want to know why they grow cotton here? all the water being dribbled into paddocks when they could be growing either food for OUR consumption or feed for animals?? not cotton or rice, surely we get enough cotton & rice from other countries, plus every tree has gone from sight as well :roll: The driest continent in the world and we grow these crops?? please explain?? :? Actually saw some breathing wild life today, at least a dozen emu's and billions of flies of course.. 4pm and time for my happy hr. Not sitting outside either might get carried away :roll:
