hi from sunny hunter valley new south wales australia is a bit quiet but we are here enjoying life with a chevvy

.......OK, so how you guys doing? I'll start checking in a little more often!

..better yet Ya'll come see us over heah

Thanks for chiming in Alvin,I think a few posts went adrift in the server change?
I wish more International guys would check in though,it does get lonely here.......lol.

It doesn't look like i'll be popping over any time soon,i've just had my working week cut to 28hrs!.........

we work 40 hrs but have what we call a RDO roster day off workers accrue 4 hours a week and add these days to a long weekend like easter austalia day or labour weekend so we end up with 4 days off mainly in construction industry to give us more leisure time to enjoy chevvys works good we end up with alot of long weekends

alvin people always ask me what a stovebolt reunion is when they see my t shirt that i wear with pride southern stovebolter 2012 i am slowly educating them

People on this side of the pond don't know what a Stovebolt is either. Always explaining it.
I like the sound of your roster day off, wish we had that here in Canada.
Where is Hunter Valley in relation to Sydney? I was in Oz back about 30 years ago. Travelled the country in a fried out Kombi. Never made it west but saw half the country. Loved it.

hunter valley is about 100 miles north of sydney a wine growing and coal mining region on the coast i live in newcastle it used to be a steelmill town now that has gone it is the biggest coal loading terminal in southern hemisphere exporting over 200 million tons per year they are digging big holes up the valley all open cut mining you may of went to port stephens just a little north of newcastle nice beaches all up the coast and afew chevvys

Tim, Jock, one of these days I may just pop up like a "chipmunk" ...... so keep watch you just never know. LOL

I would have gone through your area, I remember Newcastle and Port Stephens. Think that was the first place my Kombi broke down.
Don't remember any chevys. Only american car I remember was a '67 Convertible Mustang in Sydney. Too many Tooeys maybe.
Beautiful beaches for sure.
