Scrubby,
Welcome back.
Good to hear you got a few yellas and a cod on the way
home.
Sam is still reminiscing those yabbies, might have a better chance for fish next year.
Was good to meet you and look forward to seeing you at future gatherings around the place.

G'day Scrubby, good to see you got
home safe after the
Innamincka yabbie retreat. Our plans went pretty
well as expected and we flew
home Tuesday. We had some yella fillets and they were magic so no doubt yours were too.
I tried for yabbies again in the
Cooper Creek at
Windorah to no avail. Perhaps the smell of diesel was a bit overpowering from the jerries on the roof.
Catch up somewhere along the track mate........
