Gotta go, there’s a hot air balloon waiting to take me over Alice springs…

Can’t stand heights so a balloon is completely out :(

For my 70th I got this… http://www.adrenalin.com.au/rally-drivi … port/12417

Busting to do it but waiting for some decent Spring weather. :D :D :D

My ultimate bucket list would be to drive a V8 supercar around Bathurst. Done it in the Prado towing my caravan but that’s just not quite the same :(

Hey OT, you can do some fast driving at Calder :D I got to drive an Auscar there around the oval/tilted track (fantastic) but I think you can also drive around on the flat track next door?! Not quite the same as Bathurst, I know! :D


Oh, and as far as the bucket list goes; one day I hope to get to Broome and the Kimberleys

A flight in a hot air balloon. And a flight in a Catalina. My wife and I do most things together. The balloon is easy for me but can’t get my wife up in one.

Top of my list is to skydive in a wingsuit, the first time I seen it I thought that’s me, but the wife has other ideas.

A flight in an Army Tiger gunship helicopter; doesn’t have to have weapons loaded but that would also be good.

would like to travel to all the geographic points in Australia- N S E W and the “couple” of different centres
as well as the corner of the states.

Wouldn’t mind doing the Len Beadell tracks in the order he made them- trying to cover the same country and the points of interest noted in his books but not necessarily on the tracks.
