Hi all.<br />
And now it starts… Another year. I personally am<br />
looking forward to what 2019 will bring. A new<br />
year, a new beginning. So many opportunities are<br />
there, waiting to be taken and enjoyed. ‘Bring it<br />
on” I say.<br />
We have just had our 6th Birthday<br />
Bash at Fonty’s Pool here in WA, and<br />
the other states have now had their<br />
first for the year also. Check out the<br />
reports in this newsletter. We are<br />
lucky over here in Australia, with the weather being<br />
‘somewhat’ good, it was freezing in the UK, that<br />
even our local reporters needed to move country.<br />
The weather has had a serious effect to some<br />
towns throughout our wonderful country, what<br />
with floods in Queensland, NSW and Victoria, and<br />
fires in Tasmania and WA. Also farmers are still<br />
feeling the effects of the drought. Blazeaid is looking<br />
for volunteers in just about every state for every<br />
type of emergency, so if you can help out, jump<br />
onto their website (www.blazeaid.com.au) for<br />
more details.<br />
I am a bit disappointed in that I haven’t had any<br />
response back from those members that I sent out<br />
our ‘Met the Members’ page, so for this month I<br />
have cancelled that entry. I hope that next month it<br />
will return, along with our Member Reports. I don’t<br />
get a lot of feedback or even comments from our<br />
members, so I will continue to bumble along and<br />
hope that the newsletter is acceptable. Although I<br />
CONTACT DETAILS<br />
would really love to hear from you and be able to<br />
put in your comments of<br />
various things. So give it a<br />
thought guys & girls, I’m<br />
sure that everyone would<br />
love to hear from you.<br />
(Don’t forget that not all<br />
our members are on Facebook<br />
and don’t get a chance to be apart of the everyday<br />
comments and interaction that some of us<br />
enjoy.)<br />
Pete & I are off on our annual pilgrimage from May<br />
to Aug to Shark Bay again, so if your going past,<br />
make the drive in and have a cuppa or a bite of<br />
fresh fish. It’s so worth the trip.<br />
In the meantime, we are off to see the ‘Field of<br />
Light: Avenue of Honour in Albany. It pays homage<br />
to the Anzacs with 16,000 shining spheres at<br />
Mt Clarence marking the last sight of home for<br />
41,000 troops who departed from Albany for the<br />
Great War. Its showing until the 28h April 2019,<br />
and the word on the street is “it’s FANTASTIC”.<br />
Due to the amount of rally’s happening in February,<br />
I have split the newsletter into two. The next part<br />
will be forwarded in the middle of March to allow<br />
for the coordinators to send through their reports.<br />
That’s all for now. Keep the shiny side up.<br />

Ken T Report -<br />
National Coordinator<br />
KT’s REPORT<br />
by Ken Tacon<br />
HI All,<br />
Welcome to 2019.<br />
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and joyous New Year.<br />
I would like to welcome all our new members and hope to see you at one of our<br />
gatherings soon.<br />
This year we have a great array of trips and camps for you all to enjoy. I would<br />
like to thank all the state coordinators for the effort they and their helpers have<br />
put in to arrange these. If you would like to go to a special place either speak to<br />
a coordinator or if you wish to lead a trip by all means. All the rallies are on the<br />
web page.<br />
Don't forget the club’s 11 th Birthday Bash is on in March, at Valla Beach Caravan<br />
Park, which is pet friendly. We have put it back a week from usual, so<br />
those going to the Ulysses AGM, can travel back to come along.<br />
As per last year, the club will supply salads for the meal on Saturday night. All<br />
you need to bring is your meat or whatever (barbies supplied). If you haven't<br />
booked, go to the web page and register, ring the park to book your site and tell<br />
them you are with the Ulysses RV Group.<br />
The park is bounded by river where you can fish, kayak, and paddle board.<br />
Just a short walk across a bridge and you are on the beach where you can surf<br />
or go for walks. There are lots of trips you can do either alone, or we can go as<br />
a group, to places like Nambucca Heads, Pub with No Beer, Bowraville,<br />
Macksville, and Coffs Harbor, just to name a few.<br />
I hope to see you all soon, stay well and travel safe.<br />

UMRV<br />
International<br />
Report.<br />
UMRV International<br />
Greetings and G’day from Ulysses Members RV Group International.<br />
Hello Judi, and a Happy 2019 to you too.<br />
Well, as you can imagine (or maybe you can’t?), winter made itself felt here and most<br />
RVers went to ground. However, those who could scarpered across the Channel and<br />
headed south to warmer climes, where from time to time they bump into one another.<br />
So Harry and Carole and Max (who has his own doggy passport), travelling south<br />
through Spain towards Almeria, stopped off to breakfast on cafes con leche, tostadas<br />
and croissants at the Oasis cafe in Bolnuevo in the Mazarron area with Pete and Ilse<br />
who are seeing out the colder months in their van there.<br />
Mustn’t be too envious though: tomorrow Gray and I set off on that tedious journey<br />
back to see how our old girl has fared in store since April last year. Heard today that<br />
she is being serviced as I type. Then we’ll be making tracks for Mornington and look<br />
forward to see some of you RVers there.<br />
All the best from a zero degree centigrade GB.<br />

WA Fonty’s Pool<br />
Rallly Report<br />
Ulysses Members RV Group – WA<br />
Rally Report – Fonty’s Pool 8-10 th February<br />
Well again, what a great weekend. The venue was perfect, set amongst<br />
the fruit orchards in Manjimup, with a huge natural pond and parklands<br />
surrounding the park area. The park was fully packed with our 17 vans,<br />
people attending a wedding and just general travellers. A local couple<br />
choose this setting for their wedding and most of our ladies couldn’t<br />
resist going down to watch the Bride and Groom.<br />
A fantastic attendance of 34 people, including a couple of members that have never attended a rally<br />
before and new members that had never heard of us. Not to mention the diehards that attend all our<br />
rally’s. It was great to catch up with everyone, new and old.<br />
Most member took up the weekly special, with several members only staying for 4 nights. Everyone<br />
was left to do what they wanted to do during the day, with happy hours, BBQ dinner on Friday night,<br />
topped off by the Pot Luck Dinner on Saturday Night. The food at the pot luck dinner was superb (as<br />
always) and a big thank you everyone for making it a great night.<br />
Sunday saw the majority of us crashing the Pemberton Hotel for lunch, with<br />
several members taking the opportunity of checking out the spectacular<br />
scenery around this glorious southwest. The weather has been perfect all<br />
weekend, with sunshine during the day but still cool enough at night to have<br />
a comfortable sleep. We had a movie night (Peter Rabbit) on Sunday to top<br />
off the weekend.<br />
Our next rally is in the process of being finalised. At this stage it will happen in early<br />
June, as a Goldfields Winter Special. Shane & Rob are organising this and I will forward<br />
all the details through as soon as I can, along with placing it on the website.<br />
This will be an exciting rally for those that have not seen, or wish to revisit, the Goldfields.<br />
At this stage it’ll be a over few days and visiting different areas Details to coming<br />
soon.<br />
Members wishing to go to the Meningie AGM is SA on 14-21 st October, you are more than welcome<br />
to Tag-A-Long with us on our “Bringing up the Rear” UMRV-WA tag-a-long. For itinerary details,<br />
please contact me direct, via Judi Raven, and I’ll forward you a pdf copy. We<br />
will be leaving on the 6 th October and arriving at Lake Albert Caravan Park on<br />
14 th October.<br />
We had such a great time again at Fonty’s Pool that we have booked again for<br />
our 7 th Birthday Bash for 7-9 February, 2019. Again I have booked 10 sites,<br />
just let them know your with the Ulysses RV Group. We have already booked<br />
for the week, along with a few others. So come join our party, for a few days or a week. Plans have<br />
already been made for a BBQ at Big Brook Dam at Channybearup, ‘Movies at the Mercers”, along<br />
with a couple of others things. See you there.<br />
We look forward to catching up with you on your travels, at our next rally or<br />
the AGM in Meningie SA. Don’t forget if your travelling through to Denham<br />
during May to August, pop in to say hi Pete & myself at the Denham Seaside<br />
Caravan Park. (Bring your fishing rod).<br />
Keep the shiny side up and travel safe<br />

SA Clayton Bay<br />
Report<br />
CLAYTON BAY 16 th to 18 th November 2019<br />
Leading up to the weekend at Clayton Bay, the forecasted unpredictability of the<br />
weather meant we might get a really great weekend or a weather affected weekend.<br />
As it turned out we had both. The early starters who got there on Thursday saw the<br />
wind build up through the afternoon, but on the positive side the sun still shone. As the wind was coming<br />
in diagonal to our sites, we were able to seek shelter on one side of the caravans.<br />
After setting up our sites and having a look around the park we settled in behind a caravan for happy<br />
hour. Just before the sun set across the river, producing some magnificent colours in the sky, we thought<br />
it was time for dinner, although nobody had much enthusiasm to do anything. In the end the easy way<br />
was taken. “Mr Aldi” 3 cheese pizzas with a variety of meats added to the topping went into the Webber.<br />
When they were cooked, I’m not sure if the hunger pangs that had set in or the alcohol<br />
was taking effect or they were just good pizzas, but everyone enjoyed them and<br />
their hunger was satisfied.<br />
Friday, after a still morning, we saw more wind build up in the afternoon and night.<br />
However It didn’t stop people coming to Clayton Bay. By evening we had a good crew exceeding 20 people,<br />
set up on the banks of the River Murray. It was good to see a few couples who are not regular<br />
attendees coming along for this weekend. Hopefully they are encouraged to come along to more weekends<br />
next year.<br />
With the wind still hanging around on Saturday, most people decided to have a fairly relaxed day. Sitting<br />
protected from the wind between Hoppy & Pats motorhome and Brett and Judys caravan, it was quite<br />
pleasant for some of us to laze around and watch the yachts battling the breezes on the water. Others<br />
went to neighbouring towns for lunch or just to look at the local sights and attractions.<br />
That night the local café/restaurant had music organised for a few hours from 7pm, so<br />
most of us booked a table for a meal and some entertainment. With the restaurant<br />
deck protected from the wind, we were able to enjoy the great views across a reserve<br />
to the River Murray, have a good meal and listen to 60s, 70s and 80s music.<br />
Sunday was pack up day for some, while the rest could have more chill out time on the banks of the river.<br />
Thank goodness the wind had died down a bit from the previous days. Again water activities entertained<br />
us, but this time it was mainly skiers or kids on rubber donuts being towed behind speedboats or<br />
jetskis. There were a few “Oohs, Aahs and Wows” as we saw the kids get dumped off the donuts in spectacular<br />
fashion as they crossed the wake.<br />
After a quiet night it was Monday and time for the rest of us to leave. Again it was great to have some<br />
visitors over the weekend with MMM, Sue & Grant dropping in from time to time. With MMMs and Sues<br />
shack just across the road from the CP, it was quite convenient for them. Most interestingly dressed visitor<br />
was Graham who was still dressed in his clown suit after participating in the Christies Beach Pageant.<br />
Carolyn wasn’t quite as adventurous as she arrived in her civvies. Well done Graham, I bet you got a few<br />
looks along the way when you got out the car.<br />
This was the last SA organised weekend for 2018 and next years program is nearly complete. The calendar<br />
below has the dates set but we still need to finalise the destinations. The RV AGM is in Sth Aust next<br />
year, come along and support that on<br />
14 th to 20 th November 2019<br />
At Lake Albert Caravan Park Meningie<br />

3 ways with Pancakes<br />
Food on a BUDGET<br />
Turn heads (and taste buds) with a special take on this camping staple… pancakes perfect<br />
for breakfast or a holiday treat.<br />
Ricotta and buttermilk pancakes<br />
(BASIC BATTER)<br />
Makes approx 20<br />
2 cups plain flour<br />
3 tsps baking powder<br />
½ cup castor sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 cup soft ricotta<br />
1½ cups buttermilk<br />
70g butter, melted<br />
Method:<br />
Place the flour, baking powder and sugar in<br />
a bowl. Whisk together.<br />
In a separate bowl, whisk together the<br />
eggs, ricotta, buttermilk and butter then<br />
lightly mix<br />
through the flour until the batter is<br />
smooth. The mixture should be the consistency<br />
of thick cream, adjust with a<br />
splash of milk if required.<br />
Leave the batter to sit at room temperature<br />
for 20 minutes. This will give you a<br />
lighter pancake.<br />
Cook small amounts of the batter in a lightly<br />
greased non-stick fry pan over medium<br />
heat.<br />
Twist #2<br />
Tropical fruit and yoghurt pancakes<br />
Make the ricotta and buttermilk pancakes<br />
as per the recipe.<br />
Serve with diced mango, sliced banana, vanilla<br />
yoghurt and drizzle with passionfruit<br />
pulp.<br />
Garnish with mint leaves.<br />
Twist #3<br />
Chocolate pancakes with ganache and<br />
marshmallows<br />
Using the basic batter add 4 tbsp cocoa to<br />
the dry ingredients. Proceed as in the directions<br />
listed.<br />
To serve,<br />
Make a hot chocolate ganache: bring ½ cup<br />
cream to the boil in a saucepan, remove<br />
from the heat, add 150gm chocolate buttons<br />
and allow to sit until melted.<br />
Stir with a wooden spoon till smooth and<br />
glossy.<br />
Pour over a stack of chocolate pancakes<br />
and allow the kids (big and small) to decorate<br />
with<br />
extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.<br />
Allow to cook until bubbles appear on the<br />
surface, then flip using a spatula.<br />
Serve warm with your favourite toppings.<br />
Twist #1<br />
Spring onion pancakes, with bacon,<br />
eggs and maple syrup<br />
Using the basic batter add three finely<br />
chopped spring onions. Season with salt and<br />
pepper.<br />
Proceed as in the directions listed.<br />
Serve with crispy bacon and a soft fried<br />
egg, drizzled with maple syrup.<br />

Rick’s Last Words<br />
The Last Word.<br />
Howdy doody every body. I trust that everyone got through the Christmas and New Years<br />
breaks, spending time with family, grandkids and for some, even great grandkids. I gather<br />
from the activity on our Facebook page that there was plenty of socialising and happy hours<br />
happening and that is great to see.<br />
As I become more and more housebound lately, Ken has been stepping up and taking over a<br />
lot of the day to day liaison and running of the club, and having someone as competent as<br />
my co-coordinator to fully take over when my time comes certainly puts my mind at ease,<br />
and should do likewise for all of you. Judi is certainly on top of the website, membership<br />
database and the newsletter, so nothing for me to worry about in that regard.<br />
Along with Gordon and Ken, I was quite disappointed when due to lack of bookings for the<br />
tagalong to the Melon Festival at Chinchilla, it had to be cancelled to avoid the club being<br />
out of pocket. More so than that, I doubt that you will see Sherol or I at any club rallies in<br />
the future due to my health, so I was looking forward to having a good number of Ulyssian<br />
RV members here in town so I would be able to join you for happy hours either in the showgrounds<br />
or in our back yard. Never mind, Que Sera Sera.<br />
Next week, my eldest brother and sister in law arrive in their motor home from Adelaide to<br />
set up camp in our driveway. I am looking forwards to having their company for a couple of<br />
weeks, and there are a few jobs that my brother can knock over for me. Last month Soren<br />
and Sandy, and Daryl and Joy turned up at our place after setting up camp at the showgrounds,<br />
and then got stuck into renovating our laundry and toilet. Old floor all pulled up,<br />
new floorboards installed, then new vinyl sheets laid, new laundry tub installed and finally<br />
the washing maching reinstalled. What a tremendous effort by these guys, something I<br />
could no longer undertake, and our heartfelt thanks go out to them all.<br />
There have been a lot of new members joining the RV Group recently, over 70 since July last<br />
year, and quite a number of those have registered to come along to Valla Beach for the<br />
birthday rally next month, which is terrific to see. Please make them welcome to the group<br />
Until next time,<br />
