The Postman

Bit of a long slog down the coast from Grafton yesterday, with a stop off to replae a busted CGI unit but we made it, coasting over the Harbour Bridge just after 7pm. A grea feeling. Nice to be back. If you hear and see a very loud postie bike around sydney,  say hello… Right, [...]

Just a quick update. It’s just gone 6am and I’m in a McDonalds in Grafton. I camped on a site on the outskirts of town and am just about to hit the road. I was hoping to get to Taree last night but I think the jetlag kicked in and so after 12 hours on [...]

Hopefully there’ll be about 200 people on line listening and looking at me and Dot waffle on about our trip and answering any questions people might have. It’d be great [...]

Not long to go now until the book comes out. Getting quite excited, especially as a batch of ten arrived yesterday from the publisher. I took a copy down to the shed this morning and did a little video. Apologies for the language at the beginning. But listen to Dorothy at the end!
