The Walkabout Bus! All Aboard! Touring Australia!

[BonnieBee]

Bonnie bee - sorry to derail thread but what exactly is happening on CF. Most of the places I go on this are pretty friendly. Mind you I haven't visited anywhere else except here and parenting for a few months. So I guess I don't understand what you mean.

Stay on AU forums though - because I would say this is the friendliest chat site I have ever seen. (I've seen a few, admittedly most of them are parenting ones, but some of them are so catty that I don't visit them often)

I can't explain now, I won't be back till Monday (am travelling to see a friend), but if you want to see what's happening, visit the Wiki threads, etc...

Hey, what ever happened to this thread?

Do we need a new bus driver?

I want to go travelling, does anyone want to come? I would just love to lie on a beach some where, do a bit of snorkelling. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

[MOTHY]

RIP Bevlina. This used to be such a fun thread where we went when we just wanted to cut loose and be a bit silly. Such freedom! I hope it's not lost. And I hope the lounge is resurrected for the same reason. Life doen't have to be so serious all the time. (sigh)

 

[HotToast]

Yeah I can't work out what happened to the lounge. So do you want to come driving Mothy?

Bumping for Splodge, sorry couldn't find the origninal that was started in 2003/04 or something like that.

I did a search for this thread and it brought back some old threads - ah the memories.

 

[Sploge]

so shall we kick start this old gal into life see what she can do???

any one interested in coming on a tour???

Ab!!!

 

[jackoby]

I am! I used to be Moth, now I'm Jackoby. In memory of our Bev, I think we should go to the Mallee, pay our respects, have a quiet prayer, then cruise into the lounge, chuck a steak on the barbie, and just chill. Waddyathink?

 

[Neenie1]

Hey Jackoby - how's it all going? Not much new is going on here, yes I will come for a tour to the Mallee - never been but it should be good.

 

[oneofthem]

Hey, whatever happened to mothy?

Hi peeps. Where's Mallee?

 

[jackoby]

I can't come back as Moth or Mothy coz the name's been taken. Even if it's me. ? Truly, it is..or was (heh)......So now I have to be Jackoby (sigh) But anyway, I'm ready to go travelling on the bus. I think the Mallee (Bev's Stamping Ground) is in SA or northern NSW somewhere. But I recognize the Mallee from folklore and stories, so I know it's a fair dinkum place, just like Bevlina, a fair dinkum gal.!

 

[Neenie1]

You could always be Mothy1 or something. Did you have to re-register to come back since they made the changes? I didn't have to re-register, I just had to log in with my same user name and password.

 

[HazelAngel]

[Sploge]

hahahaha i'm sure we have a trailer we can push you into >.<



Ab!!!

 

[Sploge]

So you'll never believe what i just found!!

the bus it's been hiding under this tarp for farrr to long might need some servicing but i'm CERTAIN i could get it up and running again unless people don't wanna ride again ??

Abs!!!

 

[Victorium]

Would be nice to go out bush and build a huge fire! Cook lamb roast and baked potatoes in the coals. Does your bus go there?

 

[joey_downunder]

Are you going to start a new tour Victorium? Will it start in WA?

 

[Victorium]

Or course it starts in WA! How do I start a new tour?

I propose we build a big fire on Cable Beach in Broome under the balmy starry sky before heading out into the stunning Kimberley's, chucking a lefty at the Gibb River Road to the heart of this wild country. Wet season is coming so we have to make to Cairns by December or the cane toads will get in everywhere.

God I love the wide open road, what am I doing living in Perth for?

 

[Victorium]

I hate those corrugations. Shake you to the bone. I drove through stuff like that in my trusty panel van.

I loved Cable beach! All those camels wearing nappies and 4 wheel drives in their rightful places on the beach. Yes I'd love to see the Kimberleys.

How much sunscreen and mozzie repelllant do you recommend for the trip?

 

[Victorium]

All those camels wearing nappies

camels wearing NAPPIES!!! Are you for real! God things have changed since I was up there.

Yes I'd love to see the Kimberleys.

So would I. I haven't been further than Broome.

How much sunscreen and mozzie repelllant do you recommend for the trip?

If you're a women, tons. If you're a real man, none. Only joking. You need heaps as the mozzies are nasty and the sun can be fierce. You gotta keep an eye out for crocs too as they are getting feisty this time of year.

We will see great huge boab trees, majestic mountain ranges and exotic wildlife all a million miles from any city.
