Beware the Men in Black Robbo's
Men have only 2 emotional states, hungry and horny.. So ladies, if you see me without an erection, make me a sandwich.

Re: Formation of Robbos
It was a ski safari organised by Troy Holloway from Heli-biz.
They left YMMB after a BBQ bacon and egg breakfast and lunched in YMIA (Mildura if you can't be bothered looking it up).
I had fun surveying a site for 10 helicopters (9x R44 and 1x EC120) to land at Trentham Estate Winery for lunch. I can recommend the garlic prawns...
I will post photos and a link to the ABC web site who did an article for them.
They are headed for Ayres Rock (Uluru), see other post on here,

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.

Very good footage of three of the robbies coming in to land and an interview as well.
Thanks to Prue for her fine work.

Um, er that was a good er video. Um.
Thanks though CY. The angle of the video made the Robbos look pretty close tot he trees. Was the record they were involved in at Birdsville? I thought the big meet up was going to happen at the rock???

It looks like "The Benny Hill Show"
I wish I had a catchy saying like everyone else...
