"Lucky Pigs" is the name given to our Winnebago motor-home by the previous owners who had friends from New Zealand who used to call them "Lucky Pegs" because they were living and traveling in the Winnebago around Australia as we are now doing. "Lucky Pigs" in New Zealand are equivalent to "Lucky Buggers" here in Australia. We decided to keep the existing name after purchasing it in February 2010.

TULLY
Lesley had a day off today from BlazeAid work, but is helping prepare tea tonight for the volunteers. Peter went out to a property a few kms north of Tully to help fell a few trees. A few volunteers left today but were replaced by more volunteers by late this afternoon. It also has become a little cloudy here and it may rain tonight, which will not help the local farmers as the sugar mill here fired up today and will start crushing on Monday morning apparently, so we hope the smell is not as bad as it was at Giru earlier this month. We had a visit from Cath, whose property we were helping on a few days ago and she has told us about a couple of markets happening in the area, so we might take this Sunday off and go look at one at Mission Beach.
