Bleep Bleep fellow Limbolanders. It's the weekend and I've not thought about WA for 24 hours. I think that's long enough.

Whilst the SS Limboland remains in dry dock for the moment i'm wondering what is the most Important piece of Cargo you wish to add to the manifest?

For me its my book collection. Nothing fancy or pretentious but they're mine and they need to be in the hold.

Just as a heads up for a book lover - they are more expensive here - but the libraries are good (well they are in Adelaide, hopefully that's repeated in WA)

Thanks for the BEEP Harry! Was starting to think it's a bit quiet!

For me, it's my bikes. Got a carbon road bike and a decent MTB. My wife and son have good bikes too and we all love getting out on them. Will get our daughter a new one over there, but couldn't justify replacing 5 bikes!!

We also have a lot of books that I won't be able to part with, so they will also be in the hold.

Same as Gregster for me. It might be second hand but my specialised road bike has to travel. I think the bed mattress is another as it's always a pain getting adjusted to the feel of a different one. I think the kids would say their iPads iPods iPhones and the missus the iRon.

Gregster we'll have to meet up for a blast on the bikes if we both get selected! We could kick off a Wapol cycling club if one doesn't already exist. All comers welcome.

Sounds like a plan Dinger. I forgot the iRon for the Mrs, she'd be devastated if that got left behind!!

I like the sound of the cycling club. We all love our bikes. I got a bike carrier for the kids. We love getting out on the bikes.

Yep, golf clubs will be in there too. Cricket gear will need dusting off before it gets used again but it'll be making the journey too!

Fadsie add me maddjose992..... Could do with a FIFA drubbin.... I'm utter pants.

I'll join the biking fraternity, got a hybrid that'll be making the journey if we get lucky. Thinking it'll be my way into work, whilst Mrs MJ has the wheels.
Should save some cash and lose a kg or three....

Looks like we have a peloton, we just need a breakaway group! Put the younguns down for that one.

My contribution to cricket will be an Aussie cricket top with my favourite player (and namesake) Ian Bell emblazoned on the back. Firmly in both camps for cricket if we make it to WA. Everything else will be Aussie supporter, you have to make the effort to adapt and fit in! Even Wiggo's dad is an Aussie. Come on Wapol!!!!

Simps, we've got a ton of fishing tackle between me and the wife. Carp fishing isn't big in Aus, sea fishing is the thing over there. We've thought about taking it, but with the regulations on importing stuff, it might be a nightmare to get it as clean as they want. I'll be gutted as there's a lot of good stuff, but may just sell it to help replenish it with sea fishing stuff over there! Got a few fisher mates over there, I'll get their opinion and let you know.
