Yesterday I was on my way to a Forum with Ross Vasta, the Federal Member for Bonner with Malcolm Turnbull about the NBN network.
As I parked my car I noticed I was out the front of a home with a huge campervan parked at the front, and a gentleman was standing by a car in the driveway. He nodded and said hello.
I said "Good morning, Mr Cook. You are Mr Cook?"
He looked a little surprised, but then realised I had read the name on the front of the van. "Cook's Tours" He smiled and admitted he was indeed Mr Cook.
I had heard the name before, in relation to travelling as there is a company that publishes directories for tourists, I think mainly in the west of Australia. Cooks Tours provide free directories and I note that the current ones are up to date to August 2012, which is ofcourse two early for me and my adventure, however, I will make sure I order the current books around the end of the year, so that I can continue my planning for the visit.
I learned from Mr Cook that he is to set off today for a 4 month tour. He has done others. He suggested I get a small van, however, it is not my plan. For a start, I don't have the funds for such a van. And I am hoping to 'surf couch' around Australia.
I wish the Cooks happy travelling.
