Okay Guys
A great day out thankyou very much to Rob and Thomas picking up the trip from Bri and Beachy, rest assured guys they followed in your footsteps and honoured all your traditions with at least one “oops time to go backwards before we even got started moment” early in the piece. All kidding aside everyone needs to say thanks to Bri for the inspiration for the trip and then to Rob and Thomas for picking up the reins.
So down to business , I believe you all got moving around 0830 from the bakery there were some early starters there as I snuck past at about 0720 and spotted a couple of you already parked there as I slid down to Waroona to join up with Mummafied. Eventually you all got yourselves down to Waroona and the full cast was assembled including,
RobsGQ, 2shortGQ, Franko's Patrol, TheFlyingBadger, AlmostDun, turbojoe, Mummafied with bigbaz, oli and Ben, chocko, Paulak (I’m sure there were more cars than that but Rob has the sign on list so correct me if I’m wrong) and ET caught up with us at lunch time at Gnomesville.
So down SW HWY past the Collie turn off and then up into the hills and Rob starts off following the little yellow line on the GPS and it was straight into it within 5 minutes we are sorting out the men from the boys. Everyone got through and I hope the photos we took did it justice. From there it was off to a puddle for some fun for those who have missed playing in the mud over summer. As they say a picture says a thousand words so see the pictures.
Smoko and off we go again some nice winding steep and slippy tracks, was I so glad I took Bri’s advice and didn’t bring the challenger poor thing was sat sulking in mummified driveway cause it missed out but when it see’s photos it will get over it. Anyway we wind our way to gnomesville and lunch.
At Gnomesville we catch up with ET and Marge and have a good wander around, amazing place and well worth a look. I’m putting that on my must take visitors and tourist lists. If you haven’t been go and do take a gnome. I’ll have to go back ‘cause I didn’t a take a gnome.
From Gnomesville it’s back the way we came, we cover the first few kilometres in record time with lots of photo opportunities, post them guys so all those who didn’t come can see what they missed. We get back to the midway point and mummified, family and myself part company with the convoy and head home but Rob promises to pick up the trip report from here. I presume you all got home safe from the gnome photos already posted.
For me though, great trip, reasonably challenging driving, lots of team work (fantastic) spotting each other as necessary, great destination “Gnomesville” and simply lots of fun.
Thanks to Rob and Thomas for picking up the reins from Bri and Beachy and running a great trip and mummified for offering me a lift, cooking lunch and getting me home safe.
Anybody wants the originals of the photos I posted please pm me with an email address and I'll send them through.
Cheers Guys
Big Baz
