Yes time is getting very close to "GO" so setting up site here. A friend will be posting for me as

that is the easiest way to set it up. My associated comment will be for those people mainly overseas who don't know

a lot about Australia, a bit similar to the Americans post on Ivanpath and what to do around that area.

If it offends you ...simply don't read...if you can do better , then why haven,t you, don't let a half dozen tinnes do your critic.

succeed or fail only time will tell. But whatever it will be a hell of a trip. Some 2.500 ks and 4 mths endurance. So that would

be at least 20ks per day for 120 days, or 150 days at 16.6kpd, so good breezes will push things along and quite days will

bring out the UkUleleys.....Looking at the BOM for the last few years and now with the met eye the wind will favour me

Justo, i knew you would be intrigued, but just of now i cannot reveal more than one can see at the moment,

all in good time. An interesting story has intrigue, and surprise, and a touch of madness " outside the box"

high viz road gear......a must for any landyachty



I think my dress maker had some fun here



that's one problem out of the way...........

do you have any water wings joe

Best of luck Joe. Looking forward to seeing the sail pics and some adventure images.

I trust you'll go easy on yourself during the trip, and you get a good breeze to push you along.

I just had a truck breakdown last week while spotlighting; only a 15km walk back to camp at 4am but it was enough for me that day

thanks Barbara, big full dress show tomorrow with local paper, The Bunyip, Gawler

That's the jib John Flynn on camel, Flynn of the inland, one instigator of The Australian Inland Mission

The flying Doctor network with it's mantle of safety. Flynn saw the need for medical stations or bush hospitals,

and managed to achieve, the setting up of many throughout Australia. Places where a broken limb can be fixed,

a mother can give birth , or a child with problems can receive help, and later school of the air for education

they'll survive so will I......open the bidding TP1

the works name or title is " And leisurely the cattle pass " from the poem by

A, B. Paterson "Banjo", " With the cattle ", verse 8 line 3, read the poem it is a great one!

remiss of me to not mention....this artwork has been painted both sides of the sails, mirror image

You're an artist giberjoe.
You're doing something great. From here my sincere support.

Hi all,
This is the first full look at the painting,
Barb

wonderful, amazing. Have some other form of propulsion or just wind.

Gibberjoe you should carry a spinnaker. I did many tests with (spinnaker / gennaker) sail and I think that will help much.

Great to see you are on schedule Gibba. All the best for an enjoyable and successful venture....wok

blimey Joe. they look great , I'll change my bid to $100

well i am in for a great trip according to my totem , the cheeky willy wagtail, dropped in this morning

with well wishes 6.30 a.c.t, singing its head off, as has happened a few times in my life, and those occasions have

proved to be really special for me . Seem a bit of hogwash, but not to me.

the willy has an amazing range of song that many never hear, not just a couple of calls but real song melody.

in indigenous mythology the WW is said to spread the chatter and should not be listened too, a gossip... So I'm spreading

landyacht gossip and it can be addictive, be very careful or one can get hooked....... packing it all in today

I weighed my payload and it comes to around 200kg, water 50, food 50, tools/spares/repair 20, bedding 15, clothes 10,

first aid 5, ukulele and music 10. and odds n sodds, boots, tent, stretcher, cooking.

The very best of luck and good winds Mr Gibber.

Onwards and upwards.

My bid, if they were put up for sale is $200, if you both sign them.
What an outstanding piece of artwork!
