More WIP to follow

Well Raechell is back home in the north (by 50 km)

I have to return to Dooen to load my tools in the morning and then I'm off to Sydney for more work.

Below my precious kids sleep guard over my precious box



For me a success do is for people to have a good time and for them to leave wishing they could stay and / or get home wanting to come again.

On that scale it was a great weekend.

Thank you all who made it. Thank you to those who have followed with interest. You all made it a special weekend in different ways. What also stood out is how everyone watched how they spoke around the kids. Again thankyou

There will be mre pics by myself and others to come.

Yet to be judged is the firewood challenge. I hope to get the pics together and posted in the next few days. For the attendees I ask theysend their vote to Treecycle and he will talky them up and announce the winner. I will post a link to a forum poll where all members will have a chance to vote. Attendees will be abke to cast a vote here as well

Still looks like it could do with abit of work

Our shed is dirty aswell. Need to clean up after last weeks effort to get things done so we could come down.

I'm so glad we did, even though it is a long drive. As dad already said we had a great time and thank you very much for your hospitality and also thanks to everyone else there. I had a wonderful time learning new things.

Put me down for next year if thats whats happening

Dirk.

The kids look like they did most of the work
Really, it was a fantastic weekend Dave and Rachael hosted and a delight to meet those who were there for the short time I was able to be there. Woodies truly are a great bunch of people.

Dave,

I would have loved to be there as well but unfortunately my health precludes me from doing things I used to do such as camping, living rough or driving distances.

My body is a bit like a house infested with termites, looks great on the outside but internally I'm dealing with the remnants of cancer, stop my autoimmune system from killing my liver and suffering from a partially collapsed lung as well as other bits and pieces that has started to wear out.

Thus I was only an armchair participant of this great gtg. As such I enjoyed what went on and seeing some photos. I would have liked more posts and photos but realise that that far west there was no internet available.

So Dave from an armchair participant thank you for putting on such a great weekend, it sure lightened things up for those who could not came. Also thank you for collecting my chuck from Elderly and to Gabriel for delivering it. Much appreciated.

Peter.

BTW where is the great group photo of all the participants. Those that left early could have been photo shopped in and it would be a great record of a great long weekend.

I think that should be ".....If you want a camera don't buy a phone." Looks we have a bit more work to convince him - I am looking for a nice D200 or similar model for him and Rachael - then he might understand the difference - well maybe?

Hi Dave,

Congratulations on organizing a great weekend, I wish I had have been there. Next Time!
