Paul Fitzgerald contacted me a couple of days ago, to advise that he had accidently discovered that the Edwin Abbott is for sale down at Mandurah and it looks in pretty good nick for 33 years old! Only $59,000. Cut and paste or type this link into Google to have a look;- http://www.yachtswest.com.au/yachtswest/boats-for-sale/used/power-boats/randell-42-ex-cray-houseboat/155797
By the time you read this I will be off on another 2 x week 4x4 adventure up to Giles Breakaway (near Laverton) and back. Travelling with me will be Walter Hill, Steve Smallwood, Kim Norrie, Mark Skeels, JR (& wife), and possibly Phillip Gausdon. (No, not all in the same vehicle ) We will be camping at Roly Dixon’s farm on the way home if all goes to plan. How’s that for a bunch of ex– Customs Officers (except Kim he still is), talk about keeping it in the ‘family’. Over the years it seems that Customs management have tried to take the ‘family’ out of Customs. Well we prove that (in our case at least) it is going to
stay for a very long time. Bernie Webb
