I've just received a PM from Leigh in WA and I'll copy & paste it here.

Gents,

He's packaged up, fumigated, and will be be en-route to 'sunny' QLD tomorrow morning.  My apologies to the Lizard.... he came to WA, and WA didn't show up...  nonetheless the show must go on.  Good luck!

Goodonya Andrew, keep an eye on this thread for further developments. I can get that lizard that far.
Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators.

Great news that he's arrived Dave.
Thanks for sending him across the continent Leigh.

Well, that didn't take GZ very long to start causing a bit of trouble.  ;D
He just had to go and pick on a croc didn't he.  ;D  ;D

Here is an update of the lizards travels so far.

Hope the lizard enjoys his time up there.
He would have loved it at the VJMC Rally I was at last weekend at Warilla, NSW - lots of sohc's of all sizes, standard and modded.

Oh and Dave, time to mow your lawn....... :P ;D

You're supposed to put blades in the mower...... ::)
Actually, this is why I don't have any lawns at our new house.....I don't want to waste time mowing lawns when I could be riding my bikes.... ;)

Good to see that GZ has put the Croc chains onto those wheels so that he doesn't bogged in croc on the way through.  ;D

well the rain is only just holding off enough to take zilla down to nsw to make it official,he has now been in nsw

he wasnt too keen on the entry requirements but after a shot in his backside he was allowed in

he learned all about the mount warning volcano

decided where to ride to

then back into queensland

he wants to meet up with frostyboy so that will be a queensland ride,where he will be shown the haigsliegh motorcycle museum/swap meet and a 750four club gathering.
