Thanks for posting that Maz.


If anyone from SA or any other state wishes to join us, feel free, the more the merrier. It will be a great trip and as usual the best Vanning eVANt on the yearly calender. It would be a shame to miss such an historical vanning event. Be one of the lucky people and say, Yes, i went to WA for the van nats.
cheers

not long to go now peeps... 18......

if anybody still wants to join our cruise let us know... we may just break it down into smaller so called bite size chunks so we don't have the hassle of too many travelling together... but we'll see how we go....

The more the merrier i say, what could look better than a dozen or so vans in convoy across the Nullabor!!

we may have the tilley's joining us too... have been talkg to Andrew... so there'll be 9 vehicles in this convoy... there's also another 2 convoys as well, but a bit smaller leaving on other days... so let us know if you want to join in from the beginning or half way through.....17

How many from the old geelong Custom Van Club are coming? I've heard of a few that'll be visiting.

P.S. We dont have daylight savings in WA.

DR

yeah we know... lol... umm, not sure how many... maybe panther club can answer that when they next get on here... maybe message them?

I think some SA guys will be cruising with us also

i wanna go but i cant

13 till we leave

r u going to arrange for them to meet us on the way somewhere....? we need to stop in Dublin for my boys to pick up the RR, so might be a good spot for them to meet us somewhere there... not sure of the address yet, but we could meet them either in the township main street (not a very big town at all) or on the highway if there's a truck stop or somethg nearby...
maybe u cld discuss with them? Let us know... also mayb let them know that some of us are catching the ferry, others arent and they are welcome to make their choices of course.

yeah been speaking to them, getting the sorted out to cruise with us. I won;t be on the ferry now, im drivin round

that's ok, there'll be a mix of some driving and some ferrying which is all good. Really lookg forward to this.... 6 days of work and 12 more actual ..... sort of still sounds a bit of time to go, but really, there's not....in reality its not this saturday, but the next... omg......

Ive got a #*it tin of work to do at my place before then, according to the boss, the queen and her onterage are coming to WA.

Anybody coming over with us to WA....or even if you're not coming... we are going to meet at the arranged servo meeting place in Beaufort VIC @ 7am for breakfast (departure is still 8am)... if you want to come and join us for breakfast and wave good bye .... you are welcome to join us....
