Did you mean September 14th, Mr Wombat? I thought GBs now run three months but they say at my age memory is the first thing to go.

Who are you again?  :-\

From Adelaide to a farm in the Keith/Bordertown area, to Naracoorte & back. :-\

Nice drive, really, but still a big day out for an old fart. ;)

We have Home Detention types everywhere. During the week their local Community Corrections Centre would cover any issues but try getting them out on the weekend! ::)

Yep! :))

When I were a wee lad ... Actually, when I was about 19-21 & in the RAN FAA based in Nowra, NSW, I drove the 1,400km home to Millicent in the South East of SA just for a Mum-cooked meal, then drive the 1,400km back to Nowra the next day, several times. ;)

Ok, you win.  I thought my 180km round trips to go to a gym were impressive.

Actually, at the time, at Albatross they were pretty good & I lived off base most of my time there (caravan & flat sharing with FAAMAN) but there are times a young lad hears the call Mum's cooking. ;)
