KT’s REPORT
An “explanation”, by Bob Lucas
Coordinator
I realise a lot of you will be unaware, and therefore will be shocked by this
terrible news I’m about to make public. Before you say “why wasn’t I told?”,
it was not done earlier because it was Ken’s personal business, and his own
choice to keep it “under the covers” so to speak.
Ken Tacon
Report
(by Bob Lucas)
In early September Ken was advised that his body was being ravaged by cancer,
and he has been fighting ever since, both in and out of hospitals, to slow
it’s progress. The pain that this insidious disease has inflicted upon him, and
of course Doreen, both physically and mentally, has been unbelievable!
As you should all be quite aware, Ken has been passionately involved with the
running of the Ulysses RV Members Group pretty well since it’s inception.
He was Rick Bedford’s loyal offsider for most of that time, until a few months
before his passing in 2019, and has been “the man in charge” ever since.
As his good “buddy”, and his “partner in crime” at the helm of this great organisation,
it has been heartbreaking for me to hear him struggling during
our daily phonecalls this past couple of months, yet be unable to help, or even
make a personal visit, due to QLD’s border closure.
Ken had intended to write his own report for this edition, but has been far too
unwell in recent times to get his mind together and put pen to paper, so I’m
penning this to advise all our members the reason for no KT’s Report in the
past two editions (yes, I spun you a yarn about his knee replacement back in
the September edition!).
I know you would all want to join myself and Marilyn in offering our
prayers, love and strength, and wishing Ken and Doreen the best
possible support and comfort, in their continuing battle to preserve
and prolong their time together.

Editorial
G’day folk,
Yes, I’ve given Ken the front page of
this edition, and having read that, you
should now understand why.
What a taxing time the past couple of
years have been for us all, with some
affected much more than others, particularly
the Victorians! Hopefully
we can now move on and enjoy what
RV’ing is supposed to be all about,
without having to face border closures,
or even being prohibited from
leaving our own homes.
But while most of us have been lamenting
our locked down situations a
number of members did manage to
escape before the borders closed, and
have spent months enjoying the
climes of northern and western states.
Among them were the Hoyes and the
Baileys from NSW, and the Hooks
from QLD … in fact last I heard the
Hooks were still out there, bogged at
Menindee Lakes … but it should dry
out in a month or two!
While the authorities preached and
promoted the benefits of the Covid
vaccines, our good mate Jill Foster
from NSW is not one of them! Her
immune system reacted quite violently
to the jab, and she has spent close to 2
months in Newcastle hospitals. We
all wish Jill a safe
and complete recovery.
We take great pleasure in
welcoming Tasmania to
our folds, with members
Mike Meyman and Gary
Rush as their State Coordinators.
Good luck guys, the membership applications
have really been rolling in,
and we look forward to meeting you
somewhere along the track!
At our recent rally
in Tuncurry, a record
breaker for
NSW, we were
joined by Bruce and
Merilyn from Port
Stephens. For those
who don’t know,
Merilyn (aka Leo
Evans DM) was the
person who sourced and presented our
mascot Kermit (aka Arvie) to Rick at
the Albany AGM back in 2010.
We wish
Pete and
Judi all the
best during
their frustrating
time
building their new home in WA, and
hope you can be inside for Christmas
celebrations.
And talking of Christmas, I take this
timely opportunity to wish all our
members a safe and happy one, and a
new year that’s free of Covid and
other nasties!
Stay safe, and stay erect!

** WEBSITE vs FACEBOOK **
Our hardworking webmaster Richard is
quite concerned that our website is not
being visited as much as it should be,
and members are sending in questions
regarding coming rallies etc when their
answers are already on the website.
While Facebook is a great tool, our page
is for casual “conversations” and pictures
from our members.
While we attempt to advertise rallies etc
on there, it doesn’t always happen.
We encourage you all to make more use
of our website at ulyssesrv.org to learn
about your state’s coming events.
… and while talking of FACEBOOK:-
We continue to receive heaps of Ulyssians
requesting access to our RV Group Facebook
page. Beauty!
But as spelt out when applicants apply, to
gain access to our Facebook page:
YOU MUST FIRST BE A REGISTERED
MEMBER OF THE RV GROUP, and
COMPLETE THE QUESTIONS!
Just go to ulyssesrv.org and join up, and
THEN request Facebook access.
You will be granted access as soon as your
name appears on our membership register.
If that is not done, you will be declined until
you follow the proper procedure for access.
COMING AGMs
2022 ULYSSES RV GROUP NSW
AGM @ MUDGEE AREC
The 2020 Mudgee AGM which was cancelled
due to Covid-19 has been reconvened
to 17-24 October 2022.
Our NSW and AGM Coordinators Ian and
Carolyn visited Mudgee to check it out
just before the lockdowns hit NSW.
It will be held at Mudgee AREC Centre
on Ulan Rd (about 2km from town).
There are lots of wineries to visit in the
area, and historic goldmining towns
nearby. More information will posted as
things are sorted, so stay tuned …
2023 ULYSSES RV GROUP QLD
AGM @ MALENY SHOWGROUNDS
QLD coordinators have advised the
dates will be 16-23 October in 2023??

Omission from Tuncurry Report
RIP “BIGGLES”
It is with sadness we inform
our members that Graeme King
(aka Biggles) from Victoria
passed away peacefully on Monday
11 th October.
We extend our love and
condolences to his wife
Ariel and family
While perusing Ian’s Tuncurry Rally report I
was intrigued to notice no mention was made
of the day the Toonens, Rowles’ & Richo’s
rode out on their bikes, only to return 10
minutes later, apparently to equip themselves
with the obligatory masks required to
attend cafés and pubs these days.
I can only presume money changed hands, to
secure Ian’s silence ...

MATTERS
We would like to welcome the following
new members since September 2021:-
Welcome to you all.
Did you know that we have over 80
members we are unable to contact, due
to incorrect or old email addresses?
I realise that many of you use the Facebook
page for your information, but not
everything gets posted, and you could
miss a late rally change or important information.
So ...
If you are not receiving emails from us,
please do contact me, and ...
Don't forget to update your membership
details if you change email address, or
move to a new town/suburb. We don't
collect your Phone N o. or full address, it’s
just handy to know the general spread of
members around the country so we can
plan rallies.
Just email me membership@ulyssesrv.org

Since the last report I have finally fully
retired from work, intending to spend
more time refining the site and fixing the

A reminder – KERMIT, the info portal for the ULYSSES RV GROUP, can be accessed at
www.ulyssesrv.org
A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a check-up, the
doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to
help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair, 'Want anything while I'm in
the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure.'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget
it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down. I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries
and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man returns from the kitchen
and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment ...
'Where's my toast?'

Happy hour @ Neurum Creek
In a beautiful bush setting just west of
Woodford, with limited number of
powered sites, over 15 RVs registered
“on-line” with the management at
Neurum. The occasional storm came
through, but nothing could dampen
our spirits at being able to be in the
wide-open outdoors while our southern cousins are suffering in lockdown.
On this tag-a-long we made welcome new members and guests joining in with our
group that is growing in numbers. Two of our campers, Gloria and SuzieBee, who get
so much pleasure out of singing, entertained with Gordon around the fire one night.
The famous FINSKA tournament was held, with the winners being challenged by other
competitors keen to knock them from their pedestal at the next stop.
The creek was low, so no kayaking, but Darrel still
put in his red-claw pots. Yep! All the big ones got
away.
Blip led us on a merry 4x4 trip up through the forests
to Jimna on some “back” roads, with low lying
clouds making the ranges very appealing. And
don’t forget to mention the yummy pies at the Kilcoy
Bakery.
FINSKA - Winners are grinners!
A couple of our members are keen campfire lighters, & keep the wood supply up.
Thanks fellas!
Trevor collected mulberries from his “private” tree to share with fellow members,
some enjoyed walking through the retreat’s 127 hectares and enjoying the views from
high up on the ridge, therapy was experienced at the Op Shops back at Woodford,
while those who enjoy crafting, shared their creations at Stitch & Chatter sessions under
van awnings, enthusing each other to share ideas.
Time then to hitch up and head to Part B, and a gathering with some newer members.

TOOGOOLAWAH SHOWGROUNDS:
It was a short trek across country to Toogoolawah
Showgrounds where we had been allocated
the “front paddock” by the Show Society,
which did not seem too appealing to me in our
early discussions, but turned out to be ideal!
Happy Hours were spent in a shady spot under the trees, and as storm rain had
drenched the township the whole area was a masterpiece of green!
23 RVs, motorhomes, 5 th Wheelers, vans and campers set up in
the paddock. What a top group to share in what Toogoolawah
has to offer!

Movie Theatre showing was a no-go, but hey!! The FINSKA
CHAMPIONSHIPS continued, so seriously too, that the number 2
tor had to be reglued! Not quite sure if Darrel was open to
Barry entertains, AGAIN! bribes!
The Brisbane Rail Trail was enjoyed by some members who brought along their mountain
bikes. A special mention regarding the resilience of Louise, who after having both
hips replaced arrived on her trusty motorbike, while Bob towed in the camper. And
Louise shared 2 very tasty cakes with us, which she had made, and which we enjoyed
around the campfire. Thank you, Louise!!
The Exchange Hotel did a sterling job to provide a Saturday evening meal, for 43 of us,
yes, 43!! ‘Twas good to see Helen, from Esk, join us for dinner.
A 4x4 trip to view the tunnel on the rail
trail, then around Mt Bepo Rd, again
ably led by Blip. To give us even more
thrill Blip led us via back roads to Jimna,
then on to Crows Nest. Well-formed
dirt roads this time, which leads us to
believe Blip is getting a little soft, but he
proves time and time again to find us
Saturday dinner @ Exchange Hotel
the roads less travelled and free of vehicle damage, much to Di’s relief!
Numbers in our group are growing, but what is the most pleasant thing is that it remains
small enough for everyone to find new friends, chat and keep the spirit of
“Growing Old Disgracefully” alive and well.
Less than 4 weeks before our final get-together for 2021, and next year’s Forward
Planner for Queensland Rallies is about to go to print. To all the RVers who were with
us for their first time, thank you for your company. We know you had a great experience,
and we look forward to your joining us at Fraser Coast.

Report
It was decided after the temp of 43 o at Esk rally last
year to head to the coast in December2021, rather
than an inland venue - what a good decision! The
weather was so kind, even though storm season was
truly upon us.
Speaking of STORMS! During the last part of the year Ken, our Aussie Ulysses RV Coordinator,
received a “not so good” cancer diagnosis and, together with wife Doreen &
family, are having to deal with the struggle of their lives. They were hoping to pop into
Scarness and visit us, as it was not too far from their home in Curra, but Ken’s ill health
precluded that.
The love of all Ulyssians, and especially the RV Group, is extended to
Ken and Doreen as they deal with Ken’s present health concerns
Drinks on the deck
As Blip and Di had travel plans of a different
kind, & their tentative plans to head to Tasmania
to family and friends came to fruition, we
certainly missed their company; however, fires
not being allowed at the caravan park, and a
token gravel road on the Poker Run was a substitute
for the long winding roads of dirt and
gravel, we did cope in a small way.
For this year’s Christmas Rally, an invitation was issued to Sue and Trevor to be our local
contacts and plan the event, with satisfying results. This was, by far, our largest
rally for Queensland, with 63 bookings made
for the Hervey Bay Boat Club Saturday Night
Wearing green with pride
meal and “Green Shirt” parade. We certainly
added colour to the Restaurant and deck
where pre-dinner drinks were served.

co-ordinated a “Poker Run” to 4 various sites in the Winners are Grinners - Poker Run

The French President is sitting in his office when his telephone rings.
‘Hallo, Mr. Macron !' A heavily accented voice said. 'This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare,
Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you ! We voted to reject the
Lisbon treaty !'
'Well Paddy’, Macron replied; ‘How big is your army ?'
'Right now,' says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, 'there is myself, me Cousin Sean, me next door
neighbour Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eleven!'
Macron paused. 'I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command.'
'Begorra!' says Paddy. ‘I'll have to ring you back.'
Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. 'Mr. Macron, the war is still on, we have managed to get us
some infantry equipment!'
'And what equipment would that be Paddy ?' Macron asks. 'Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and
Murphy's farm tractor.'
Macron sighs amused. 'I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armoured personnel carriers.
Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke.
'Saints preserve us!' says Paddy. 'I'll have to get back to you.'
Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. 'Mr. Macron, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves
airborne ! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit,
and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!'
Macron was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat; 'I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers
and 200 fighter planes, my military-bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites,
and since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000!'
'Jesus, Mary, and Joseph !' says Paddy, 'I will have to ring you back. Sure enough, Paddy calls again the
next day. 'Top o' the mornin', Mr. Macron! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war.'
'Really? I am sorry to hear that,' says Macron, 'why the sudden change of heart ?'
'Well,' says Paddy, 'we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness and packets of crisps, and
we decided there is no f****n' way we can feed 200,000 prisoners!

On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is involved in a fatal car accident.
The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to
process them into Heaven.
While waiting, they began to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven?
When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the
first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out," and he left.
The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed, and the couple were still
waiting. While waiting, they began to wonder what would happen if it didn't work out;
could you get a divorce in heaven?
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled.
"Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out?
Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!," St. Peter shouted, "It took me three months to find a priest up here!
Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?"

After serving our group as a Victorian Coordinator for the past 10 years,
Marilyn Flinders had given notice that she would stand down from the Coordinator’s
position at the Cohuna AGM. Marilyn extends her thanks to
those who helped her over the years, and offers very best wishes to whoever
takes the position on.
On behalf of Ken Tacon and myself, many thanks to Marilyn for her efforts
over the years.
If you are interested in helping out, or know of anyone who may be, could
you please advise Janice and Fred at victoria@ulyssesrv.org and Ken and
myself at admin@ulyssesrv.org.
While it is not essential to have two pairs of coordinators per state, it is
smarter, just in case one pair become unavailable, for whatever reason.

longer if you want.
Venue: The Ross Caravan Park, Esplanade
Ross.
Inaugural
Rally
Book your site directly with the park on 0437 425 832 and mention you
are with the Ulysses RV Group so they will put us all together.

not able to reserve sites for the group.
Powered sites are $32.00/night/couple, and unpowered sites are $25.00/
night/couple. Cabins are also available.
Don’t forget there are a variety of hard bed venues in town as well. All this
and much more info about the town of Ross can be found at
www.visitross.com.au.
So come along and support this Inaugural Rally, meet new members, and
catch up with old friends.
More information will be posted as we get closer to the date.

For those who don’t know, The
town of Ross, on the banks of the
Macquarie River in central Tasmania,
is listed on the Register of the
National Estate, and some of its
noted attractions are the historic
bridge, female factory prison,
original sandstone buildings and
convict history.
Much for all to see!
Inaugural
Rally
Five blokes in an Audi Quattro arrived at the Tasmanian ferry checkpoint in Melbourne.
Tracey, in her brand new uniform, stops them and tells them: "I can't let you on
the ferry. It is illegal to have 5 people in a Quattro. Quattro means four.
One of you will have to get out and stay behind."
"Quattro is just the name of the car," the driver replies disbelievingly. "Look at
the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons!"
"You can’t pull that one on me! This is Tracey you're talking to!" she replies with a
smile. "Quattro means four. You have five people in your car, and you are therefore
breaking the law. So I can't let you onto the ferry. It's more than my job's
worth to let you all on."
The driver is now very cross and replies angrily, "I've had enough of you! Call your
supervisor over. I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"
"Sorry," responds Tracey,
"but Sharon is busy with those two blokes in the Fiat Uno."

UMRV -WA RALLY REPORT – September Silo Tag-A-Long
Day 1: The group started with 3 vans meeting at the Quinninup Eco Park on
14th September, where we started our journey around the Southwest, Great
Southern and Wheat belt following the Silos of WA. We were greeted by the
locals and a huge mass of Gnomes. Over the years since our first visit, the
gnomes have grown.
Albany silo
Day 2: We started our travels through to Albany, where we saw our
first silo of the tour - the “RED SEADRAGON”. A short stopover for
lunch, where we caught up with Arvie, Keith & Val, at the Amity, then
off to Borden Showgrounds for our free camp. Along
our way we stopped at The Good Food Factory for toffee,
sauces & ice cream. One of the very ‘friendly’
guard “Geese” managed to chase me off but not without my stash of toffees –
bloody thing reminded me of my grandmother’s house when I was growing up.
She had the same things and they used to chase me and my sister all the time,
and we lived there!

Day 3: We travelled to Ravensthorpe where we caught up with Liz, Jon & Max at the Shot
Over Nature Reserve. Lunch at the local café, where
Gerda, Val & myself headed across the road to pick up
lollipops from the World’s Largest Lollipop Shop, check
out the local Quilting Shop, then on the Wildflower
Expo, where we caught up with the men and Liz & Jon
at the Town Hall. Ravensthorpe and Districts has over 2000 wildflower
species, and they were all on full display. An entry fee of $5 got you in to see some of the
most beautiful wild orchards and flowers. Ravensthorpe Silo represents the 6 stages of the
Banksia.
Newdegate silo
Ravensthorpe silo
Day 4: Today we travelled across to Pingrup via Newdegate. The
silo at Newdegate represents the local fauna (Western Bearded
Dragon, Red-tailed phascogate, Mallee fowl and an emblematic
depiction of the region).
We then travelled on to Pingrup where
we decided to stay overnight in the
caravan park, as the Pingrup Arms manager advised that the camping
area behind the pub was a bit messy. We were to have dinner at
Pingrup Silo
the pub, but as the meals started too late for most of us, we utilised
the camp kitchen and had a spontaneous dinner.
Katanning Street Art
Day 5: On our way to spend 2 days at Katanning. I woke up early
to make scones for our morning tea at Katanning All-ages Playground.
By the time we made it to Katanning the rain had set in

and we were unable to have our morning tea. We made our way over the RV park in the middle
of town and then headed off to the local Dome Café for Brunch. The RV park in Katanning is
brilliant. Fully sealed with dump point & fresh water. Toilets etc are only a couple hundred
metre across the road. Midweek dinner was had at the Fuxing Family Chinese Restaurant (yes,
that is the name!). Highly recommend the meals here. Although Katanning doesn’t have any
painted silo, the town has many public buildings that have been painted, and the walk around
town (between showers of rain) is worth it.
Day 6: Due to the rain we decided that it would be better to travel on and stay
overnight at Kulin RV Park. Terry & Lesley decided to go home as his back was
causing problems, so we waved them off and headed to the Tin Horse Highway.
Overnight at another fantastic free camp in the middle of town with toilets and
FREE HOT showers. Which was wonderful considering the weather was still
cold and wet. A couple of quiet drinks at the local pub to
say thank you for the showers. On our way through we
stopped to have morning tea with Arvie at Dumbleyung
and checked out the replica of “Bluebird” K& Hydroplane
used by Donald Campbell for his world water speed record.
Day 7: Today we cut the trip short by 1 day as Keith & Val had problems
with their motorhome and decided it was safer to get home than to break
down in the middle of nowhere. We all followed them as far as Beverley,
where the remaining 3 had an overnighter at Beverley RV Park – another
wonderful find on the shores of the Avon River. Keith & Val made it home
safely without any further dramas.
Day 8: Andy & Gerda leave us today to head home. We all decided that we would do the remaining
2 silo’s (Merriden & Northam) at a later date. Liz & John, Pete & I head off to Boddington
to catch up with a friend who has just moved there. What a wonderful free camp they
have there also. Parked up alongside the Hotham River with a view to die for. The toilets were a
few hundred metres away, where during the day we had a surprise
visitor that needed to cross the road where we were walking. Dinner
at the Boddington Hotel saw an end to our Silo Tour.
I created a recipe book of our journey (based on the original plan)
and this was given out to all that attended.
Thank you to all that came along on our journey, we hope that you had a great time
like we did.
I look forward to catching up with you all soon.

required!

*** NB After the February 2022 Birthday Bash I will no longer be available to continue
as Coordinator for the UMRV-WA Group. I am asking members to consider taking on
the role, as we will be travelling around Australia from July 2022 until sometime in
2023 ***
This role is very easy to manage, and it really needs to have a fresh outlook. Perhaps one of the
Perth/Armadale members will consider this, as they have regular RV meets, and they could incorporate
the rest of the members.
I would hate to see this Group dissolve due to lack of anyone taking on the role.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks, Judi
An 80-year-old man is having a drink in Harpoon Harry's.
Suddenly a gorgeous girl enters and sits down a few seats away.
The girl is so attractive that he just can't take his eyes off her.
After a short while, the girl notices him staring, and approaches him.
Before the man has time to apologize, the girl looks him deep in the eyes and says
to him in a sultry tone;
"I'll do anything you'd like. Anything you can imagine in your wildest dreams, it
doesn't matter how extreme or unusual it is, I'm game.
I want $100, and there's another condition."
Completely stunned by the sudden turn of events, the man asks her what her condition
is.
"You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words."
The man takes a moment to consider the offer from the beautiful woman ...
He whips out his wallet and puts $100 dollars into her hand.
He then looks her square in the eyes, and says slowly and clearly:
"Paint my house."
