My goodness Nancy! Didnt i send you one.been going flat out getting the stuff you girls sent up to me in on the files here and printing it out and getting a copy off to everyone"so I thought" and I had to miss out on you.I'll get one off to you 1st thing in the morning.Photos might be a bit longer to get together tonight.But I'll start digging around. 10th april I should be in Brisbane, see my kids there and pick up the van,head to Bundaberg to see my mum and sister,Mary Staib, then southwest,inland to Taroom,Catch up on family I have found there and head down towards Bengerang, Moree,via Wandoan and Miles,Chinchilla. and look up family there as well.Then lots of Mum's family I have to meet in Brisbane as well before I get away back tohere.I do hope to see Mother again before I head back here and with 44 days leave i should have enough time to make it around.
