Elsie Denham, a resident of North Ipswich, volunteered
to become an entrant in the Royal Flying Doctor Service 2008 Spirit of
Queensland Awards to help raise vital funds and awareness for an
organisation that has served our nation for 80 years and still provides
their services free to everyone who needs transportation and medical
assistance. Elsie is looking for people with a wander lust spirit to make
tracks into the real centre of Australia. Part of her fundraising plan is
to invite 10 4WD's to come on an organised 21 day, fun filled tag-along
Expedition in September 2009, to share the experience and take part in the
re-enactment of a flag raising ceremony that took place twenty-one years ago
when the Royal Geographical Society of Australia and the South Australian
Army Survey Corp found the real centre of our nation.

Change is GOOD, is it not?! The web site has had a long overdue maintenance
and reconstruction, as it has been getting very large, slow, and unwieldy.
The site has now been reduced from 265Mb to 75Mb in size, but, DON'T WORRY,
the 2007 News and
2007 Trip Reports remain, and those wonderful Trip Reports and photos from last century have been
preserved and the original un cut version of the web site is now available
on DVD from the Mitsubishi Club Library (or it will be very soon). The slash
and burn has no doubt resulted in some left over links that don't work, so
the webmaster would appreciate your help in verifying the site. The revamped
Site Map should make it easier for you to see
what is on the site now.
Please email any problems to the webmaster including the page NAME and
the offending errors. Many thanks! |
