I could either meet up with you in Tamworth or, if that is not convenient or practical, leave them with my son for you to collect at your leisure.

Odd route to choose to get from Toowoomba to Tamworth, Google maps says it takes 3/4 hour longer than heading down teh New England HwyQuote:

I travel the route described previously as my first choice as it is both more interesting and attractive, but if I am towing a trailer I will normally go through

This second route is slightly longer, but a faster less twisty journey and time wise is the same.
It would be an option to pick up from Toowoomba the morning I head to the Hunter. I will see how things pan out. If time becomes an issue I may have to go with your suggestion, but it doesn't, from my point of view, leave any margin for error.

Just to inform those who need to know:
I'm in for some mango turning blanks and pieces for jewellery boxes. :D (Sorted via PM with Mapleman)
And personally, I don't care what route the timber takes to get here - so long as it does. I'd rather happy wood that has been on a long sight-seeing trip than cranky stuff that "doesn't want to play nice." :rolleyes::wink:
Forgive me for this next comment as its not in line with the thread.
I get repeatedly irritated with the way some are so damned impatient with a journey by road. Why do we have to travel THE most direct line and why do we have to do it in the shortest time? I will "go out of my way" to travel on quiet bush roads (tarred ones) to get to somewhere. I make sure I have plenty of daylight to do it and take in the scenery as we go. Pulling up to have a good look at things along the way is a great past time.
I'm sure that a lot of accidents on the roads are due to "deadlines to be met".
My brother was asked by a member of the car club in Armidale to make him a trip map because he had a wedding in Nowra to attend. One proviso was that he didn't want to drive in Sydney. My brother did the map for him and upon return to Armidale the guy said it was a great trip with hardly any traffic
Graeme Connors sings about the road less travelled. I think if we used it more we would live longer.
I'll get off my soap box now. Thank you
G'Day Brett,
As mentioned in the text I too have had tele/conv with Chris [MM] yesterday about a small quantity of timber for my toymaking.
I'm waiting for an email & photo from Chris to confirm what he can offer; I suggested offcuts type bits & pieces to fill a small fruit box.
Cheers, crowie
PS - thanks Brett for your entrepreneurial skills to organize this venture.......
Hijack Alert.
Now that this seems to be going ahead I have a request to make.
As the timber will be deposited at my place for a short time before it is picked up by Brett and (posssibly) Adam, I have an item in Sydney that I need to get to Singo. i.e. get to Brett's.
The item is a saw vice that I forgot to pick up from the BM GTG and is currently residing at Pat's place. I don't even know where Pat lives but I believe it to be towards the Gong.
If anybody is going past Pat's and could move it a bit closer to the Blue Mountains it would be very much appreciated. I'll send a pm to Pat to let him know about this post and I'll duplicate this in the appropriate forum.
Hopfully the poor little vice will find it's way home. There is another problem though. Pat had to wrestle Adam for the vice at the GTG. While Pat is pretty big and could hold his own against Adam, if the vice makes it this far I'm not too sure how well I will fare against Adam. He's a big boy :D

I might be able to call in a favour and get it delivered to the city from where I could get it the week after next (ie 19th)
and whomever's going past could grab it
I'm not sure whether Ross is going to put up his hand as a possible ute pickup person?
We may or may not need two utes. ATM I'm thinking one, and Ozhunter is yet to read this thread, but it won't be long.Quote:
