Any pics?

I wish I was there, but ... "free" help gardening a large slab of brown dirt is hard to pass up.

I strongly considered it all last week. Even friday night when I was putting in my fuel tank, carpets, seats and esky I was wondering if I could still go.

The boys, my son Chandler and his school friend Ryan were arguing in the back ground and I though that I couldn't put up with that for 5 hours in the car.

We (I) decided to go camping nearby instead. We visited Wellington and checked out the caves, Lake Burrendong, Mount Arthur.

I wish I could have made it. Make sure you post plenty of pics and stories fellow dubbers.

Hmmm, to save repeating myself, I've cut and pasted from the events page. A very cool weekend:thumb

Looks like all my smilies have gone missing

Literally just walked in the door at home after a great weekend in Albury

Will drop film in tomorrow for pics to be put onto CD, so hopefully some pics up tomorrow night

Six of us cruise up and back together from Melbourne, others joined us up there. I think on Saturday we kept crossing paths with the Sydney siders.

Had fun at the '60's party (Where did Fern Man come from again? Fern Man, Fern Man!!!!) Hey Albury Backpackers is a very cool place if you're ever passing through and need somewhere to stay. Those wood fires outside were excellent, soooooo warm, especially for those who wore the mini dresses. Yummy

Hey a new title for Jay 'Audrey Hepburn Incarnate' (minus the tiara)

Didn't count the Vee Dubbs on Sunday but the pics will show all. We had all Types covered and had a very sweet cruise to Beechworth. We wandered the town, shopped, lunched, then had a drive and a short hike down at Woolshed Falls.

Hey it was a great relaxed, social get together. Non stop chat amongst the group, with some grazing and drinking, and film going thrown in

Dave, thanks for having us up there and showing us around your home turf.

We got to see in Dave's shed as well

Well I'm out of here to do my washing, feed the dog, and write an article on myself which I have to get in tomorrow for the next YHA mag

jenz58 ·

It looks so dull without the smilies🙁

:tree:party:rudolf:beer:birthday:sandrine:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce

Hey and my way cool 23 window kombi is sitting on the book case:thumb

Jay and I got came equal in the best '60's dress hehehehehe and won a kombi each:tree

Herbie wrecked his within 30 seconds of being given it. You don't think he got picked on 😀

We did look good didn't we Jay😀

Mmmmm, those wood fires were very nice

Well I'm not going to say anymore about anyone, and it's a lie if anyone says Jay and I got plastered at the party. We will deny everything except the chatting until 3.30 am:beer

vanderaj ·

Well, I hope there's pics of the two of you... mmmm miniskirts 🙂

Andrew

jenz58 ·

Don't think anyone else had a camera🙁

I'll see what I find when I get the disk back or done.

Have to drop off before work tomorrow in city cos burbs didn't do digital from film😠 and am starting work everyone elses normal start time tomorrow, 9 am. Shite I'd better set the alarm:o

Hope the store I use opens early so I can pick up before heading home:sandrine

Jay I'll only post the best, so trust me please😉

It was a fun weekend. Didn't take the camera to party cos I forgot the flash *everyone else breaths a sigh if relief*

I want to keep friends so am not going to hang myself here:kiss

Jay doing the Audrey Hepburn pose before heading off to the '60's party Herbie was impressed 🙂

Didn't have a flash so she was going for more light, hence standing on my bed. Lucky she hadn't had any red at this stage😀

Taking photos is not life threatening if you get it wrong!

Herbie Down Under ·

Excellent pics Jen!

Great weekend had by all. Very laid back but very well organised. David did a fantasic job of keeping us busy. Thank you for the use of your hostel!

The hume hwy seems to get more interesting every time I drive up and down it I reckon.

Jay is the first passive drinker I know of. She gets drunk on the fumes of other peoples drinks.

I hope to see more interstaters next year when we run this again. This was a great event.

Richard

Jay_1965vw ·

Who me? Passive drinking? hehehehe

Where are the photos of you Jen?

tracash242 ·

hi hope you all had a fantastic time,was ment to go had the costume ready and all,but................

Jay_1965vw ·

Oh well Travis - next year huh?!

tracash242 ·

next year for sure,but hope i get to go to a 60 s party sooner than that want to wear my funky gear,might just have to have my own party:party

Jay_1965vw ·

60s parties ROCK! Hopefully the next one won't be so cold... was a little chilly for a sleeveless dress!!

jenz58 ·

She had to leave her coat on all night or shiver:jesus

Think I picked up the only Winter woollen 60 dress in all of Melbourne, believe me I looked🙂 I had the guy who owned the shop go through boxes of imported stuff he hadn't looked at yet, as I do:thumb

The person who has the camera does not get in many shots. Only have 2 that I had Cheryl take of me and Dr L. I'm camera shy anyway🙂

Hey, submitted pics of me to go with my piece on myself for the YHA mag. 2 are on holidays and 1 is the pic I've put up here. They seem keen to show my 'at home interests', what makes me an interesting person (??????!!!!!) Vee Dubbing is it. Forum got a mention in my writing. Had to keep word count down but🙁

Raving on again here

Great weekend, what are we doing this one coming:bounce:bounce:bounce

Well half kidding😉:P

The_Bronze. ·

How Sad - I would have really liked being there.

I knew that If I did go and somthing went wrong I'd never get to Nambucca. The Dog-O-War need a serious service, mounts tightened, flywheel seal replaced and wheel bearing replaced. Rego's in a month and I want it working well for Valla.

My previous run on the dune made me a little nervious about distance travel until I get a few things fixed up - If work would let me have a weekend to myself I'd be right!

Anyway, I'm rambling too so glad to see you all had a great time - Godd PR for next year and I'll try harder to get there next year. Saw the Multi coloured convertable bajas nose and put a face to 'Davids' name - nice bloke. Sorry I couldn't make it mate.

Cheers.

jenz58 ·

Bronze wish I could say I was going to Valla!!

Know the feeling about looking after your ride. Hopefully I'm getting closer to having Bel back and out there. I'm missing her so much. Herbie has said the same tonight. Bel is missed, but hey Dr L is such a dude and gets me around long distance. He is very 'cool' to me.

Wish I'd learnt so much so sooner🙂

What did you do, how's family, and how is Dubbo going? No updates recently🙁:bounce

jenz58 ·

Who was Fern Man and where did he come from again????😀

jenz58 ·

LOL

Will do. Actually about to u2u or email. It's the 18th and 18th, next week at Imax. Peter Hilary talking before showing 'Everest'

http://www.imax.com.au/events.asp

I have a son flying out of the country on the 18th, but afternoon, but either days are fine either days are fine. I want to hear him talk and I love the film. Lost count of times nearly that I've seen it😎

Anyone else interested?? Hey they have group bookings🙂

That link is a dud for some reason but address is right

One day... I'll be able to relax, knowing there's nothing to do around the house and come away for a weekend.

Marysville - I'll do that. 🙂

Andrew
