    Default Update on migration north.

    Got a good trailer to load my stuff on now. We'll be heading up to Port Macquarie way via the Pacific Highway most likely and as the load will be open to pilfering i've either gotta drive non-stop from Melb to PM or get some secure parking spots on the way up - prolly 2 nights in all - if there's anyone living on or just off the Pacific Highway who would be willing to let me park in their secure driveway overnight it'd be mightily appreciated (we'd book into a local motel for the night). I'll be driving a Toyoto hilux and pulling an 8 x 5 Tandem trailer. PM me if anyone is able to help during the week of the 20 July (not sure what nights at this stage).
    Cheers

    Check out this website:
    Real Estate & Property For Rent in Johns River, NSW 2443 (Page 1) - realestate.com.au

    These are John's River but you can find more properties in Wauchope etc using the search function.
    Let me know when you get here and I'll introduce you around the Hastings Woodworkers Guild if you are interested.
    Good luck with the move
    Cheers

    Default Tripping

    Will be a slow trip. 2.6 litre non-turbo diesel Hilux and about 1.5 tonnes plus trailer. But I got plenty of time to get there as no-where to live yet.
    Might need a strong coffee by the time I get up your way Wheeler
    Thanks for the links scribbly!

    Knew I should have said welcome to stop for a refresher if needed or even if not. I promise to drool only if Huon on board.

    Take your time and enjoy the trip. Having done the trip recently but the other way (Sydney to Hobart) I wish I'd taken a bit more time to check out a few places on the way as I doubt I'll be back that way for a long time, if ever.

    I might try your idea of advertising for a place to live for when my house sitting gig finishes in 2 months. Most of the properties I've seen for rent seem to be short term e.g 12 months which I suspect is due to the slack housing market at present. Rent it out for 12 months then sell. I want somewhere I can settle, and, like you, consider a shed/garage as mandatory.

    Well here I am at Kendall. And its just like Tassie. Cold, wild winds and buckets of rain. Where the hell is all the sun sand and bikinis??????

    PS: Why do I have to keep logging on when I post stuff? Is it because I'm not on my own PC???
    Anyway, got a shed (a big 'un). That's a start - somewhere to safely staqsh all my loverley huon pine.
