Australia. Sure, why not????
Re: Australia. Sure, why not????
Yahooooooo, Betsie is there parked out the front of the Expedition Center work shop in Sydney!!!!!
Very hard to express how relieved I'm feeling right now!!!! Been a stressful few weeks waiting, and then last week the Customs and AQIS process, which actually went very smoothly in hind sight!!!
8 days of work to go

That can only mean Betsie is sitting on the wharf in Sydney awaiting Customs and AQIS clearance. Maybe by the end of the week it might be through
