    Is your van gathering dust in a shed , dreaming of taking it out for a enjoyable relaxing short trip away . Well have I got a trip for you. Our members Rob & Jewel have once again offered their working cattle property for a gathering . I have lost count of the number of times they have graciously offered their property to host a gathering. Previous gatherings have been very relaxing and peaceful, with the only worry to decide which side of the communal camp fire to sit around so that smoke is not attracted to you, a big decision in life. Whilst this gathering is only appox 6-7 weeks since Australia Day gathering & the Robertson Showgrounds NSW gathering ,it is always a very enjoyable catch up. Details are as follows- - address is 100 Kilkivan-Tansey Rd , the driveway is on the left, immediately past the golf club. We will endeavour to have a Kedron flag at the entrance. This is a working cattle property, if you go through a closed gate, close it after yourself. Entry gate to be closed at all times. - pets are allowed , but must be under control /lead at all times. - as on previous occasions we will have a communal camp oven/camp fire cook up and share our delights. This will be either Saturday or Sunday night. We may endeavour to have a meal at the local pub, yet to be decided. - There is no power or water available, however the township of Kilkivan is approx 3 Klm's away & has a dump point and water taps available. From talking to Jewell & Rob the property is looking very green, which is great to see. Rob has requested that we all bring a long handled shovel to help de-silt the small dam ( Only joking)

  13. After years of traveling with our Kedron all over Australia, I didn't realise how much you get used to the luxury of a van. Recently we had to make a hurried trip to Queensland. I flew and Paul drove as we knew we would need the car for anything up to six weeks. Having only the day before returned from Europe we had no time to get the van prepared before we urgently had to be in Queensland. On our return trip, I knew I was going to have to go 'camping'. Didn't really realise what this would entail until we got on the road. School holidays and the PGA tour in Kalgoorlie meant that we couldn't get accommodation at some places. We drove past most free camps with our tent in the car, and only used Baxters Rest stop because it had a toilet. I kept looking out the window going we could stop there or there or there. Staying in Broken Hill during 30 hours of rain was not fun, and at 11pm we had to move to a Motel because we were ringing wet. The Kedron doesn't leak I thought. My sister and children are sure that Paul took me camping so I would appreciate the van more. We managed to get three days at Elliston S.A. Only drizzled there, but by now we had learnt a few things on how to cope without 'Q' (our Kedron). Our last night on the road was in Kalgoorlie. Our site was concrete - all concrete so pitching the tent was interesting. Besser bricks may have come into play to hold the tent in place. This time we were smarter, and got an en suite in case it rained, we would have somewhere to run to if this happened. When we got home to Perth I went out and gave the Kedron a cuddle. Hopefully in the future we will be able to get out for some short trips. My dad is coming over for a few months soon, and Paul thinks that at 87 he can go with us and stay in the tent. Stop laughing I haven't found a way to break it to him that dad would probably get our bed and we will be back out in the tent. We will see, we will see.
  14. One of my wife’s third graders was wearing a Fitbit watch, which prompted my wife to ask, “Are you tracking your steps?” “No,” said the little girl. “I wear this for Mommy so she can show Daddy when he gets home.” —James Avery I loved the dress that I bought at a flea market. It fit perfectly, and the skirt was a swirl of intricate pleats. I wore it confidently to an evening party and glowed when a woman exclaimed, “Oh, how stunning!” Yes, I was grinning from ear to ear, until she added cheerfully, “Hang on to it, honey. Pleats will come back someday.” —Mary Lou Wickham A customer walked into my clothing shop and asked to see the pants that were advertised in the paper that day. “We don’t have an ad in the paper today,” I told her. She insisted I was wrong, so I got a copy of the paper, and we went through it, eventually landing on an ad for pants from another local store. Exasperated, the customer glared at me and said, “In my newspaper, the ad was for this store!” —Edward Oppenheimer

  24. Welcome to the forum. As you can see (Events - far right shows notification, in financial members area gives details) we have a gathering on the 14th to 17th of July at one of the Kedron Owners Group members private property's at Kilkivan. Since it is only in the financial members area you would have become a member first. Sometimes we do have gatherings for financial and non financial members. Enjoy your Kedron, we have had ours for nine years so far and done many rough/bitumen miles in it.
