Aye, I've had a few words with MB about it already - hopefully we can have a racist time with Timbo too.

Same with lards.

Haven't broached it with any Dubbers yet as, back then, it was the least infirm part of my plans. Would definitely love to though, should the trip work out.

Danny, if you don't give me half a chance to shout yoiu a beer, then you'll be branded as a qunt forevermore on a grander scale than Modi.

Aye, cheers Zat, would be good to meet up with you definitely - it would be rude not to!

PM me any tentative details. Living in Wagga means Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra are all easy options, a short drive away.

OK man, well it's seeming the most likely around the 2011/12 cusp. We're talking about it more seriously after a holiday in June (when we can start saving again!).

2011/12? If you're in town when there is some cricket on I should be able to get you into the WACA...otherwise will have to have an ale or two down in Fremantle...

Pity about the exchange rate...used to be 3:1...now it's less than 2:1...

Yeah man, will definitely have to - I'm actually heading to Freemantle as I've got a long lost uncle there. I'd love to be able to go to the WACA and a couple of other grounds - would be a high point of my trip.

Sounds good...if you get to Melbourne you have to go to the hallow turf...

Oh yeah, definitely, the birthplace of Test cricket and all. Wouldn't mind going to the Aussie ATG museum or whatever it is.

Then maybe Chopper Reid's house and Wes' boyfriend's house.

May have to miss Melbourne out though.

Got to see the Adelaide Oval if you can then. Definitely one of the most beautiful test grounds in the world. Trouble with it is that it's in Adelaide, and you'll probably be murdered if you don't die of boredom.

Yeah, unfortunately, I'll be on a time budget I reckon - thought I'd bypass Victoria, SA and Qld.

India to Perth to Sydney to Hobart to NZ was the plan.

If you have a choice between Melbourne or Sydney, go Melbourne...and it's easier to get to Tassie from.

Did a 10 day driving holiday of Tassie back in 2007 if you want some tips...

And WTF is 'Wes' boyfriend'?

Actually, he's pretty much on the money...for a change.

Yeah, sound man - I may need some tips about Tassie.

The missus wants to go to Sydney, heart set on it. The way I see it, I can only go to one if I went to get it all in.

Wes - Mad Max II. It's my usual gag for anything to do with Victoria.

Doesn't really matter that much though, does it? I mean, so it's an extra hour on the plane from SYD instead of MEL, does it matter*? Much as l love Melbourne, Sydney's got to be on the list for a first time visitor.

*Unless flying Jetstar, in which case clear a week to cover delays.
