Still awaiting, should get ute back next friday (01mar) so will head off saturday. although it is a bit of  pain sitting around, it worked out OK. Our daughter is due to deliver our grandson sometime between now and the 25mar, son in law has had to go to perth with work and he isnt back till the 01mar, so its probly all for the best, and good to spend some time with them. Once we head off north again in may dont know when we will get back to sydney. With all the rain up in QLD recently should be good time to do the Darling River, so looking at doing it in the couple of weeks before Easter.
