G'day from Sydney, Oztralia peeps!
Well we all left Sydney at 11am, got a tank of gas and hit the bitumen road to freedom... all the way to Matty's place.
We stopped for a chinwag half way whilst driving the mountainous, leaf-blown road through the North Coast forest. Lucky we did as this is the old freeway, so now it's a backroad that is mainly used by bikers and car freaks escaping from Sydney on the weekend. Noone uses the road under the limit and so the governments reaction to this 'dangerous, lawless behaviour' (after a recent accident) has been to lower the speed limit (originally 100kmh) even further to 60kmh!

At the point that we all pulled over, not 2 minutes later a BLUE HEELER (traffic cop that's only job is to book normal law-abiding citizens) pulled up and in his kind, community spirited approach to policing told us to 'be careful not to stand on the road'. Of course we knew he was really juz pissed about not being able book all of us in one go as he had decided to pull his car up right in front of us all just before a blind bend in such a way that his car was blocking the road. He so kindly said we were likely to get taken out (as he was saying people tended to speed round the corners here...) as should someone speed round the corner we would be in grave danger standing on the road (as if we looked any dumber than normal pedestrians). At precisely which point a biker on a GSXR1300 slung on the brakes round the said bend hoping that he was not going to get radared by the copper advising our asses about pedestrian issues. However (of course) our ever faithful blue heeler clocked him square at at least 75kmh... so promptly decided to turn round to ream his bared ass... and worse, did his u-turn right over the unbroken lines (right in front of the blind bend!)
And we are not only to listen, but also to resepct such idiots driving state-sponsored road racing cars? Oh well...

Anyway, we made it to MattyB's place so we are here on the piss and having a great time... more to follow people... though the boys have had a few and several are already posting polls and all sorts o' shite. I've only had 3 beers so far so can still type releatively eloquently... :p Nick.
