Thoroughly enjoyed that - definitely worth the effort - thanks mate :goodjob:


(PS, in Toogoolawah, your commander said to turn right into High Street in 250 metres, but you didn't. You rebel you :lol:)

Daz, what was the story with driving on the wrong side of the road in Eden? (2.00min mark)

That is what happens when you follow the GPS to the letter (Trish soon put me straight)  :-[

I really enjoyed watching that Dazz  :goodjob2:
It felt as though I was sitting right in between you and Trish (next time, would you mind putting a cushion on top of the handbrake lever? I'm still walking a bit funny  :D).
I like the bit where it said "Keep Left" and you "Kept Right" - is that a Tasmanian thing?
And you had a few pedestrians run in front of you early on, but you missed all of them so unfortunately zero points for that bit.  :)
Great trip though, I love seeing other parts of the country/world.
P.S. Every time Trish told you where to go she sounded just like the lady in my Navman... :confused:

Very enjoyable, Dazz.  I've been to most of those places and agree whole heartedly with your thoughts. 

Lakes Entrance is a lovely place, we stayed there on a trip to Melbourne a few years back.  I also like your comment about the "double barrel" names, Wagga Wagga, Tilba Tilba, Gumly Gumly, Grong Grong, Gunoo Gunoo, Gin Gin.  As you said, they are so good they named them twice (although some of them are such big holes they have an echo).

For those non-Australian members, the double barrel names are generally Australian Aboriginal place names.  For example, Wagga means "place of crows", therefore Wagga Wagga means "place of many crows".

Glad you liked it Jamie.. Interesting about Wagga Wagga (and the echo comment as well  :lol:)

Yes, but how many is many  :question:

Would place of a thousand crows be Wagga Wagga Wagga Wagga Wagga etc.   :lol:
