pm - post meridian - after noon, I imagine. Not sure how that might help me... I'd be looking for a booth on the way out to the Maccas in the morning. Can you vote on Wednesday anyway?

I just checked here http://www.seo.nsw.gov.au/our_electoral_process/local_government_electoral_system_2/index.html, and realised I might be enrolled in Tamworth (where my parents live), which means I might not have to vote at all. Not sure about that though...

OK people are we ready for Saturday????? The list is as per above.

Sydney meeting at Thornleigh Maccas and leaving at 7.30am.

Newie meeting at Maccas where????

Meet then at Picnic Area at Ourimbah at 8.30am - coming from Sydney on F3 as you go down the big long hill to where the original round-about at Ourimbah used to be there is now a turn-off to a Picnic Area.

We will play it by ear from there.

Last one to show up at maccas at thornleigh will have to do the trip report.

Bit of alternator trouble tonight (see Gen Tech) but I definately don't wanna let that stop me this weekend. I am in Newie, so yeah, see you all at Edgy sometime before 0700. UHF 15 is fine by me.

After spending $670 on Black Rat recovery gear at the 4wd show in Sydney, you bet I'll be bringing some! Not that I'll need it :twisted:

sorry guys ill come next time i promise, ill even wear the skirt of shame. Will not miss the overlander forum trip up stockton beach the sunday after, so if neone was dreaming about meeting me then theres your chance. :roll:

Well, the wife decided this morning that she is not coming on saturday so that she doesn't stress out.

Hopefully I will have a co-driver by the end of today.

If not and you guys have someone who would like to come along to fill the seat let me know.
