The support crew landed in on the Mildura with a veritable explosion, taking the local populace by storm. Over the course of a few days, we welcomed many new faces - Lachlan Finn, Murray Spencer, Jono Voudouris, Dan Coupe, Andrew Wood, Karina Bradbury, Alex Fleming, Marie Plenty, Tom Lee, Kelsey Donohue The support crew has been rinsed, washed and repeated.

We kicked things off with a few bbqs at the local Fishers IGA Mildura, Coles, and Fishers IGA Merbein. We quickly settled into our respective roles; after many years of time spent together communication ensured there was no stone left unturned, no sausage left crispin' on the plate, no customer left waiting. A slick well oiled machine we became.

Meat raffles have been a good way for us to hang out with the local crowds, have some fun and make a quick buck. Plus we get to loiter around when finished and have a beer or two.

We rendezvous'd with Chris and Ian at a place called Ned's Corner. It's the biggest freehold property in Victoria and a playground of magnificence, beauty and tranquility. We met up with the Ranger on property who ask if I'd like to go shootin'. So we decided to go shootin'

| Yep. Shootin' at big ol' gun |

As I write this from Renmark (just over the South Australia border) I can't believe we only have a few weeks left. Before I know it, we'll be at the mouth in Goolwa thinkin' "what just happened?"
