Hi Jock, the plan is to be in Adelaide for Xmas with the family. I'll definitely be doing the Great Ocean Road towards SA so would love to catch up.

Made it down to Byron early arvo. Its mental.......schoolies everywhere :shock: I didn't think there would be so many here.

A bay window owner spotted me driving in and followed me to the car park - a bit of yin and yang

I went for a wander to grab some lunch and have a look around and this was parked next to me when I got back :D EK I think?

If anyone in Byron wants to catch up for a beer give me a buzz - 0456 six one one 422. I think I'll only stay here another night or two and head south again on the weekend to Yamba where it might be a little more serene!
