Mate we did 3800 kms on our bike down there and never got to see anywhere near all the great places there are to see. A beautiful place indeed.

Long story Tony and off this topic :lol
But yes we did manage to loose the kids for few days and "sit still" in the Majesty of Cradle mountain. but otherwise it was a fine balance from "doing stuff" to keep them amused and flaggin out in a chair from too much.

Amazing place you just get sucked in to trying to see everything heh Jeff.

Hey Mark

A word of advice, if you are sleeping in a tent with Trad Bound dont forget a set of earplugs, they will be worth more then gold by the end of the shoot :lol:

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Mate just checked the RFS website annd there is/was a fire at Webbs Creek Wisemans way which ha sburnt 100 odd hectares of bush but it says it is controlled.
There are 2 in the bush area near old northern rd but small and controlled.
As I said above I will call the RFS tomorrow and try to get a definitive position and status.
The site is http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?cat_id=683
If you are heading Rob's way tomorrow and wednesday you will be there before THURSDAY WHICH IS APPARENTLY THE WORST DAY according to the weather forecasters.
I plan to head to Rob's Thursday AM and get there around lunch time give or take.
Cheers
Ian
