Do you know when GZ is getting to Oz yet? It would be fun if I could ride with the lizard down under. I should be in Melbourne around the end of January. I may have to see if Terry will let me borrow a bike though. I had a good time on the Arkansas leg of the trip over here.

I would imagine that we'll possibly see GZ in January sometime or thereabouts mate.
That will certainly be a one of if you can ride with the Lizard here as well.  8)

I'm thinking that Melbourne is probably the best place for GZ's first port of call considering that it is the closest to NZ and also weather wise this time of the year.
Plus, Terry can teach him some more bad manners before he takes off on his trip around the joint.  ;D

It's not that far away now and once we get a bit better idea of what everyone is doing over Xmas and the holidays, we can get GZ cruisin'.
If I was you

Hi Mick. GZ might be a little delayed, the weather here has crapped out and the road is closed thru the top of the Island so no picking GZ up this weekend. Xmas weekend is out as you can imagine, due to family, so am trying to figure out a plan, the passes thru the mountains have to be open and Cook Strait ships operating, confused, I am. will let you guys Know more shortly. sorry for the hold up.

G'day Larry

That's no problems at all mate.
Everything will all fall together bit by bit.

With Xmas and family and kids at this time of the year, all of that stuff has to take priority and I'm sure that GZ will be welcome and fit in wherever he is.
A belly full of Xmas tucker and beer and he'll be a very content lizard.  ;D

Best wishes and hope that all of you guys have a great Xmas.

Mick

Boy, doesn't that sound familiar.  ;D  ;) Watch for that window of opportunity. They may only last a few hours.  8)

Larry (scunny) will send GZ to Terry in Melbourne to get initiated  ;D and then we can work out where to go from there.

Once the Lizard is here, it will make it a lot easier to decide where and when he'll go.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great.  8)

Well done Scunny, you have dutifully carried out the final leg for the Kiwis and it was the longest by far.
Now we can watch the Ockers share the love. :)

Hey Pete

The Lizard might arrive just in time for the PI Classic.
Terry will let us know when he gets here and work things out from there.

Providing that Customs doesn't quarantine GZ for analysis, it should all be good.
If we see a picture of him in a paddy wagon on the front page of the newspaper, we'll have to pass the hat around to get some bail money.  ;D

Yeh Terry reckons that he will get down to the Classic on the weekend with the little critter (if he has it in time, and it sounds like he might), so he and I will hopefully meet up.
Should be able to get some interesting pics I reckon  8)

I've bought the list of participants for the Oz leg forward here and I'm pretty sure that we've got it covered.
Godzilla has arrived now and Terry should have his hands on him soon.

Sam will be co-ordinating the European leg when the Lizard gets there, and he'd like to have him in Finland by June.
I think that if we can have our section done by the beginning of May, that will more than enough time to get our little mate well on his way to Sam.

So, where should the little pocket terrorist go when Terry and the boys have finished entertaining him?

We're getting smashed with rain here in Darwin at the moment and Queensland is getting more than it's fair share as well.
Around the end of March and through April would be the best time to send the lizard up through Queensland and the Northern Territory.

We've got Victoria, NSW, South Aust and West Aust to cover first and by that time, this weather up North should have started to settle down a bit.

I haven't heard from anybody in Tasmania, so it's just the mainland that we have to cover at this stage.

The main thing is to work between ourselves and have GZ ready to leave for Europe in early May.

G'Day Guys, I've been sleeping beside my mailbox since Scunny told me that GZ is on it's way, (not a problem, it's hotter than hell here at the moment) I haven't seen it yet but I'm hoping it arrives tomorrow or Friday. (Thursday is a public holiday here for "Australia Day") I'll let you all know as soon as it gets here! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
