We received this note from Sid & Marilyn, fellow travellers and members of the CMCA.
----------------------
We have only been members [of the CMCA] for the last 20 months and have travelled the east coast and central QLD and NSW and Tasmania but in that short time we have met and befriended many wonderful nomads of all persuasions, and like all travellers we kept a record and diary of our meetings,names addresses phone numbers etc..
This last xmas New year break saw us back in Kinglake West Victoria helping out at the Kids place house sitting and looking after horses and pets etc as you do while they had a well earned holiday.
All did not go well as I suffered a heart attack on Dec 28th.
The recovery time had delayed our departure which brought us up to Black Saturday Feb 7th, when as we all know now fate decided to deal everyone it's deadly blow including us, as we also lost all our possesions, all that is except our motorhome in which we escaped by the skin on our teeth to Yea for the weekend. Fortunately we were invited to a dear friends house in Lalor near Melbourne where we are slowly replacing the contents of the motorhome which we were using inside the house.
Included in the list of items was all of our records, photo's names addresses etc maps 4 and recorde of some good sites that we have been to, so if any of our friends and readers recognize our name and logo we would be very happy to hear from you.
Before i sign off I must let you all know that never was the club motto more appropriate than during our ordeal as it was all we had left, "Laugh more Live longer".
