Thanks Ian. what size boat have you on the trailer and have you had any problems with the trailer?

Member - Ian W (NSW) posted:

Roblin,

I run a 3.1 mtr Ally Craft pointy nose punt.

Son has used it to bring a 3.7 mtr Savage runabout with motor back from Bribie Island in Queensland.

Have not had a single problem in three years of solid use, nothing worked loose, nothing dropped off, nothing needed replacing.

Robert won't make any money from selling spare parts that's for sure.

Ummm, with the exception of designated firewood collection areas as deignated by CALM
Was not aware of any other limitations either, as I cut firewood in the SW during winter for friends down here in Dunsborough.

Go the Echo ... ~6hp

Not advocating a visit to the Cross are you?

G'day Norm,

Hope your travels have been outstanding and that a meter barra was part of that. A question if you know, can your trailer be registered? Or don't bother because it is just for the trip to the ramp in the camping ground.

Kind regards

Theo

Hi Theo,
Great trip. So good we are going back to the same area next year, only for longer. No metre long barra, but plenty of them all the same (and lots of other varieties, plus crabs and prawns - life's a bitch sometimes). 89cm was the biggest in the salt. Got a couple above 90cm in the dams on the way up. Still to get one over a metre, but another trip to Awoonga in early November will hopefully solve that.

Yes, the trailer can be, and is registered. Depending on where we are going, I sometimes don't bother to take the light board. Having it registered (costs bugger all) is handy though so you can take it on road if the need arises.

DON'T HAVE CAMP FIRES - What R Ya!.

It's very simple, just gather something that burns readily and if if it doesn't thats not a problem.

Whompen Juice can be extracrted from the vehicles fuel system apprlied to the recalcitrant material to be burn't and away you go.

Just keep adding combustible material until you have fire so hot that it will vapourise an ali can within 10 secs and your done.

Nothing like one of those in the Simpsom or National Parks.

Roachie told me once that they are just the greatest for vapourising all your rubbish, sump oil when changing in the bush and No.2's so that no animals dig same up.

Mater of fact its renewable energy all over again.

Burn the rubbish and combustible material and make carbon (lots of it) as the trees love this stuff. They just eat it like no tomorrow and grow big and fat on it .

When they die and drop , well you just start all over again.

Thank you 'Russell ' for you tips on how to attain the fine art of making FIRE.

If the saw is anything like their brushcutter it will be on par of a Stihl , have had the brushcutter for the last 8yrs and never misses a beat.

Member - Earvin (NSW) posted:

Yeah I hope you are right. I did quite a bit of research on them and think they are every bit as good as Husky and Stihl with a better warranty to boot - 3 yrs.

The only downfall I guess is that parts may not be as readily available as the other popular brands.
