Good news Ben.
I was a bit concerned that GZ may have been in protective custody.  ;D

Work commitments have been over dominating here as well and will continue for a quite a bit longer but we'll manage something with our little buddy when he arrives.
If I was you
I'd be worried about me.

Sam

If you can PM your address to send GZ mate, I'll get him away from Darwin on Monday 4th June.
I should see him here this Wed 30th May.

It'll have to be a flying stopover here for a quick beer and a photo.
I've just started a contract with a mining company who expect deadlines to be knocked over.

I'm sure that we'll be able to get up to a little bit of mischief.  ;D

That's right Bobby, they only ride every now and then. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Saying that, I only have 3 rides this year and I'll be lucky to cover 15 miles in all 3. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm curious as to how small you think Australia is.



Then you may consider how many riders were available compared to the States.  ;)

Hey Mick, as the Aussie organiser it's a but rough that you've had to wait so long to even meet the little critter.....you've had to be very patient. Hope gz makes it worth the wait and knocks with his elbows   ;D

Thanks Pete

Going through a hectic time here at the moment with the transition of finalising one enterprise and getting another up to speed.
This is all happening with the backing of a dedicated team of people all on a level playing field and that's how I look at the Oz section of the GZ relay.

We've made this happen together and it was easy.
It goes to show that it can be done working as a team.

That means a lot in my books.  8)

Thanks mate.
Having a good group of guys and gals with a common cause makes it happen and that's what we've achieved with all of the members here on the board who have participated.
And that's right from the very start in the US and right up until now and I'm sure that the trend will continue until GZ hits home soil again.  8)

There was still no sign of the little critter today, and I'll be checking the mail box bright and early tomorrow morning.
Generally it  takes 2 days to get express postage from the other capital cities into Darwin.
Because he's coming from Cairns, it may well be that he's been sent back to the main mail centre in Brisbane and then will be sent from there to Darwin.

I'm waiting as fast as I can for our little buddy to rock up into Outback Oz.  ;D  8)
