Thread: We are moving to Brisbane for 3 or 4 months

I'll be looking to make a nuisance of myself.

Not hard for you.

Good luck and hope it goes well.(just for you)

Hope all goes well with the missus Cliff

Ta.

Drop in the spare keys before you leave, I won't touch anything... promise.

We hope that the situation resolves itself satisfactorily Cliff, take care.

G'Day Cliff,
Cleveland is a very nice part of the world..... quieter area with good access to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, great water sports area from canoe to jet ski plus good fishing except in the sea grass areas were the dugongs are protected and you have direct access to Stradie ferry; just don't attempt to drive there on low tide following the Navman like some Japanese tourists did in March last year.... they bogged a hirer cars 400-500mtrs from the boat ramp out in the bay.
I hope all goes well with the reason for the stop over and that you have some time to rest, relax and enjoy the Redlands bay area.
Cheers, crowie....

Good luck with it Cliff!!

Brisbane is OK but here is better!

All the best with your stay in Brisbane. Have rellys at Cleveland, so I will warn them.

Hope all goes well Cliff. Missed you at the wood show this year.

When you and the missus are feeling up to it - check out the following........

I have a box of them.

I made it.... bloody long trip... first 270Kms took 4 bloody hours. Roadworks.

Got a flat tyre 50Kms out of Rocky just as the 2nd half of State of Origin started...
It was 11°C outside & I was still in shorts, very fast job, unpack half the car, change tyre, repack the car, jump back in & the phone rings before I get to hear the score.
It was the motel, the want to know where I am & how long I'll be, says she will hit my credit card & leave the key under the door mat, fine, phone is beeping to say there is another call.
It was the Mrs. She was already in Brissy & has had an afternoon with the Doc & wants to tell me all about it.
Yup, you guessed it, by the time I get the radio back on, the footy is finished.
NFI who won 'cos now they are busy talking about the fight I missed & the way the rules are wrong 'cos 4 blokes got sent off.
By now I am yelling that the radio "Who the hell won ya turkeys?"

Anyway, no sweat, we won.

Got to bed at midnight.

Next morning I'm sitting around till 9:30 waiting for tyres, eventually hit the road at 10am & bugger me, more bloody roadworks.
This time I manage to get 285Kms in the first 4 hours. Sheyete.

Finally get to Brissy at 6:30pm Thursday night.

So far so good. Fingers crossed.

I managed to fit in a box of Dead Finish off cuts.

Small stuff to suit pens & ornaments.
Couple of bits big enough to make some hand tools.

Anybody want to be my friend?

So the highway hasn't changed much since the 1970's and 1980's.
That sounds like one hell of a trip, nice of the motel people to follow you up.
Sorry I can't help as my brother isn't a woodworker.
What's happening with the Dewalt thicknesser & Byrd cutter; I hope you brought it as you should have some time to do the install??
All the best for the good lady and your stay in the big smoke.
cheers, crowie
