The Flaf has spent a week in Sydney now. It goes to Perth early next week (4000km by road, but it's going via air, perhaps joining the Mile High club on the way? Our hosties seem to be getting a reputation...).

Flaffed at the Opera House...

These young ladies took a fancy to the Flaf, perhaps because it was so exotic, being all the way from America and all. I hear American lasses are similarly enamoured of things Australian when they visit the US?

Finally the Flaf gets to The Australian Hotel, in the Rocks. Davidvfr signed it while we enjoyed pizza, beer and cola:

Sorry DK, not sure what your handle is here... thanks for the sweet wheelie you pulled past the Shangri-La when you departed, I think the doormen and clientele appreciated it too (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif)


Next stop for the Flaf - the Mount White Cafe (aka the Road Warriors Cafe) on Sunday...

Did you ask the young ladies if the American Flaf is a much stiffer shirt than they are use to holding???

Phantom great Flaf post (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif) I see the Flaf is in good company (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/beer.gif) Pass it all around that great country of yours!!!! We in the U.S and Canada have had it a good long time mate. Cbar could be the first I believe to sign from 2 different continents (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif) All hail to the Flaf ........ Or Not (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/goofy.gif)

I didn't, but they did comment that it seemed to be unusually full of hot air (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/tongue.gif)

Signed the Flaf today at Road Warriors Cafe, Mt White, NSW Oz. Feels like I've graduated! Thanks to all involved in getting the Flaf to Oz and sending it around. A bit of a link to all who have previously signed, good stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/fing02.gif)
Another ambition fulfilled and now for that later model viffer, if only.

Phantom, for the life of me I don't know why your bike isn't finished it couldn't be a money thing because your saving on cloths no one else would buy (IMG:style_emoticons/oldemoticons/tongue.gif)
