Hi all,
Here are a few random photo's I took of our dots and dashes trip as we headed south to Merimbula for the Nationals.
They're not in any particular order of events but should give you a slight taste of the sensational trip we had.

Couldn't forget that, then there was only 2 little Bellett s driving down the road.
Should have taken a photo of our last stop. Not to worry, we have the memories.

Wonderful shots Stickman! Realy shows the back-roadness of the journey. Great to see some out of the way bits of the country. Thanks for taking us along a bit.
Cheers, Matt.
