which way you going gazza. There are 4 camps still at Hinterland club of which 3 are heading to Mildura tomorrow morning. Two are going toward Goondiwindi and down the Newell, the other is going south to Ballina and across from there. So it will be an interesting tale of the different travels down.
only 6 sleeps to go.
