    Before we hit Colac all the farms had Volcanic stone walls surrounding them.

    This farm had over 200 old rusty tractors.

    Yeah, not fertile anymore. In Hamilton I saw an old Cinema that was turned into a Sporting store. I asked to have a look out back....they said don't bother, it was emptied out years ago.


  • MattMatt
    Yeah Paul make sure you take your camera next time and anyone else who's doing the work travel thing. :bz

    Surprise? Isn't that where the bodies are buried?
  • MattMatt
    There's been a few murders there. Luckily it's only one night. It's the next town/city where the surprise is.

    Where are the pictures?
  • MattMatt
    I'm in a Motel and I can't upload pics on their internet. :(
  • DavidDavid
    Is that because you are surfing porn sites?
  • MattMatt
    :-$
  • MattMatt
    Back home now and can finally upload some pics. 

    I'm in Mount Gambier here.

    Just up ahead we see a sign that says "Scenic Lookout 300m". Beauty, we'll stop and have a look.


    Ummmm...okayee. We're standing on our tippy toes and can barely see shit.

    I smiled at my mate and starting laughing. I said "I have an idea."

    Then the highlight of the trip. I finally meet Rick for the first time after many years of online conversations. What can I say. He is the Master of daybills.....(shite, there was posters, stills, lobbies, quads, half sheets, one sheets....blah blah blah. I was surrounded by you name it!) I didn't want to leave.


    image

    We spent 2 & 1/2 hours just talking/looking at posters. Felt like 20 minutes. I only left because I got a text from one of my work mates saying, "See ya at work in 15 mins"......Fark....gotta go Rick.

    This is me after I got that text.

    image

    I wasn't happy, wanted to stay.............sniff
  • DavidDavid
    I like the fact you had running water in your motel room...

    What's the story with the boat?
  • MattMatt
    The Boat. Google Mount Gambier and boat if you want to....me, I couldn't wait to get the "cough" out of there!

    Motel room funny joke. NOT!  image

    Rick...never heard of him.
  • RickRick
