The most useless thing taken away on a trip... continued.

So... on the big trip around oz with the kids... we left Alice Springs and arrived at Tennant Creek [or whereever] only to find that the sleeve tent had wriggled out of it's back situated on the roof rack.

I travelled with the poles ... now USELESS! for the next three months.

I had signs on the windows, hoping that some traveller found the tent and was looking for me.

I still have the poles out in the shed... Some have come in handy, but ... well maybe on the next trip I'll take them with me again. I reckon I'll spot that lost tent beside the road some day.

And.... In 1991 I lost a post hole shovel beside the William Creek - Coober Pedy road. It has a black handle. Anyone found that?

BTW. You can't buy long handle post hole shovels in Cooper Pedy.. anywhere.. know why?
