Smile PHOTOS - Mt Gambier Bus Stop 2010

Please post up your pics here of the Mt Gambier Bus Stop 2010!

Firstly, some pics of the northern convoy en route (to whet our appetite). Here they are in Bateman's Bay - the first three pics were taken by Grantus (he caught up for a chat), and the final one by The Dub Driver:

Once south of the Hawkesbury River they get confused.
Actually I think it's a map of southern California they're looking at.

Camp site, Princess Margaret Rose Caves. We went down to see if we could find any one, snuck in the camp area that said entry by permit only. Drove through to the back fence and seen no kombis, so we snuck out and then drove around the back of the park, pulled up and walked on in and after a wee bit we spotted these. Yelled out but no one around, so just took a couple of pics and got out. We then headed back to main entrance area and sat and looked down to the caves office area and got 4 waves, Had a chat with Marg, Carol, Rod and Allan and as they were going for another walking trail hike was time to head back home.

For those who dont know these vans, they are alpal and scotts dads.

Grantus,
You obviously don't spend much time travelling the roads in the illawarra, only trucks are big enough to use the BMW lane without written permission

So should the Kombis be in the left lane, to free up the centre lane for that truck & dog, or should the truckie just blasted up the left lane?

I thought everyone knew the pecking order for right hand lane use, firstly it's BMW's, after all it is their road, second it's green P platers, third it's trucks and after that it's anything that's fast enough to out run the other 3 groups. If you can't drive at light speed stay out of the right lane.

Couldn't agree more!! To reduce the cost of European cars they should remove the indicator system completely, they never use them cause they are the only car on the road so they dont need to show everyone else their intention.
