Well, we’re off doing a geocache in the brindabellas tomorrow.. – park the car on mt.ginnini (1800mASL), and hike the rest of the way up.. – should be an interesting trial for our weekend hike in Namadgi in a fortnight 🙂
Watch APRS for VK2TDG-7 🙂 That’ll be us hiking..

Who said shop-bought is better? After finding out it’d take six months to have a custom-built pack-rack for my bike built and shipped from NZ, I decided to take a trip to bunnings and get some supplies.. I think the result (below) was quite impressive for an hour’s work with the angle grinder.. 🙂 (Plus I’ve got 85 LITRES of carrying capacity now!)

Went to the Rotary d9710 (Canberra a Southern NSW) district conference dinner at Parliament House last night. It’s pretty impressive some of the things they’ve been up to.. – During the fires in the shoalhaven district, five of the clubs (nth/sth nowra, bombaderry, etc) started fundraising, and raised enough money to buy 15 caravans for the people in the district who lost homes, cleared their blocks, and loaned them the caravans until their houses were rebuilt.. NICE 🙂

All is right with the world again.. Doubleday phoned today and are posting me a cheque for $33.50, and are crediting my account $20.00 to cover the bank fee.
The lass was most apologetic, and confirmed that their Credit controller fellow had put a permanent hold on my receiving ‘auto-ordered’ CD’s, and didn’t know why he hadn’t replied to my letter..
Oh, and thanks to mum for giving them a bit of a prod *grin*

Looks like Doubleday are well and truly dead? I received a receipt in the mail on Friday for both payments, but still no reply to my letter or email!?
