Has everyone gone camping?

Good evening Gramps, I knew I could count on you for a response at this 'ungodly' hour (ooh, that's probably a bit politically incorrect given the nature of the long weekend ;)) (one of those smiles is actually the end of my parenthesis(spelling?)). Oh man , this is turning into a punctuation nightmare!
I hope you don't hurt any pwitty bunny wabbits or puddy cats! LOL!

Hahahahaha good morning Bware. Looks like most of our usual late night companions have headed bush or got up to no good yesterday.

As for bunnies and cats, ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies :)))))

Regards

So you're like BP 'the silent achiever'(remember that ad?).
Hmmmmm, I'm big on the cane toads personally; I've been on the Nth coast for nearly 7 years and I can't believe how prolific they are. Driving home from work they give me the constant opportunity to check my steering free-play, shocks and springs. When I arive home the outside light always attracts a few and depending on my mood I may pick them up in a plastic bag and freeze them or reach for the axe (depends on what sort of a night I've had at work. In hindsight, better the cane toads than the kids LOL).

The toads have'nt quite gotten this far south yet although I saw something on TV the other day where they predict they'll reach Melbourne by 2020. Don't know why they'd want to go there though :)))))))))))))

Understand they have an annual Toad Roundup up your way at Yamba too.

G'day Exploder, I didn't know where the hell you were talking about so I used the place search on this site and found Kennedy Range NP. The description was 'a great area for camping with toilets'. Personally, I like camping with toilets. Not taking the pi$$ out of your destination, just the way it was worded.

There are toilets there; well you learn something every day.

When we go away, when possible we generally camp outside of the designated camping zones, just drive down a track till we find a place that we like, or stay outside of the NP or camp out on a station, as it gives you a bit more freedom with what you can and can’t do, and you don’t have to worry about annoying anyone or being annoyed.

I have the outlaws in town for a few weeks so I'll probably head off with my 4yo son for a few days after Easter. I'll probably do the right thing and invite his grandpa along though.

Willem,

It seems like you've only just got over fixing up the old girl after your last big trip. Some people must have all the luck hey?
Safe and happy trails for this trip, will talk when you get back no doubt.

Regards Trevor.

Hi Bro, good to see the Sand Gropers have got off the island to the south. Hope they are well and please remember them to us.

Happy Easter to you and Judith too though Bro.

We actually have friends here from Melbourne who are EO forum members too. There were to have been others but with a daughter sick they couldn't make it. Better not to have camped last night actually as we had the best rain in a while as we socialised last night. Just as well they are inside. They are acquainted with Snowy too Bro. We will fit up a 50mm lift for Moses front end today.

Trevor

Yes, constant work on vehicles which go bush a lot. I think the truck is run in now with 310,000 on the clock. I have checked most things. This coming trip will have a fair bit of off track driving. I forsee less treks in the future as the fuel price will curtail the enthusiasm to travel long distances. Last hurrah for WA this year(making a hole in capital investments...lol) and will have covered most of the state by then. Tasmania towards the end of 2007 and then we shall see where we go from there on, having done most major treks in Oz.

Hey Bro,

Hahahaha...It always rains at your place...lol You have me puzzled about the visitors and Snowy. It has been a busy week with visitors and it is good to have them drop by. Looks like Moses is becoming as Mega Truck...:-). Regards to all.

Cheers

Willem,

I'm catching you fast, 260K on mine now and it won't be long till I'm in the 300 club also. As you said, just run in now.

Trevor.

Happy travels, Willem

Bro, I was thinking they had called at your place after crossing the Simpson last year, but of course we caught up with them on the Strzeleki on our way to the National. They perhaps hadn't met Snowy, I had assumed, making an ASS oUt of ME.

Just re-read the earlier post and see I got the phraseology ar$e about. Please remember us to them.

Moses now has his Ironman front end if you hadn't worked out the visitors.

Jealous....

Agree with the road situation; I need to access the highway to get to work so I can't avoid the 'mugs'.

Bware,

I had to go out Thursday (down the gold coast) for work as well and I saw 2 accidents happen right in front of us and another 2 had occurred 10mins before we arrived. I thought that was someone's way of telling me to keep off the road.

Cheers Trevor.

Ah yes, another reason for not going away; vehicle issues! Sorry to hear about the cancelled trip, better luck with the fishing :)

'inbetween trips', well la-di-da! That's rubbing it in;)
Actually, we are all inbetween trips; some just alot more inbetween.....

Another one rubbing it in, 'one long weekend' ;) Half your luck Ray.

"Besides, the weather in Melbourne is Scheissenhausen this weekend"

WHEN ISN'T IT LOL.

Happy Easter Jimbo
Regards TRevor.

ROFLMAO

I really led with my chin there.

Bob,

AHHH stop it, don't worry about the aroma of new vehicles, I've got the aroma of a fat yellowbelly haunting me now. Give up your secret little spot to catch this beautiful eating fish.
Mad as it is now, I'm sure your area could have done with the rain.

Regards for a happy Easter
Trevor.

Trevor,

It's a case of "Stolen fruits are sweeter". Followed the neighbours up the road to some creek crossings, to assist them if necessary, and one channel far too high to cross. Invited them to stay at home last night, to save the extra 50km back to their place. Bloke produces a couple of frozen packs of yellowbelly, he'd been taking into Winton, for the other fellar that had caught them. "He won't miss a couple of fillets"

Followed afore mentioned neighbours up to same set of creeks this AM, water even higher. They headed home, depressed, as they were going to centenary of St Patricks School, in Winton.

Think they were going to attempt a journey through their place, with 2 vehicles. hope they made it.

Happy with the little amount of rain we did, get, Trevor. Good falls in Winton, Longreach, Stonehenge and Muttaburra areas, which is pleasing.

Regards,
Bob.

Hey Bob, we had yellowbelly (Diamantina barra) last night as well - it was yummy. Really busy here.
Member Paul (Gold Coast) has been here and this weekend Member - Reiner is here - so are lots of others. RFDS has been here today as well.
Good dust storm came in at 8:00 p.m. last night and left about 2:00 p.m. today - that was fun for all the visitors from Poland. Cool change in tonight - see Bedourie topped the state with 36 - we only made 30.
Imagine you being flooded in - thought everyone would have gone to Boulia (not Longreach) for Rodeo.
Lot of breakfasts to do so off to nigh' nigh' land.

Hello Ruth,

Wouldn't mind some bacon 'n eggs, if it's not too late?? And a black coffee, no sugar.

River was up at Elderslie, over the road, so troops went to Longreach. Our bridges have been out here for over a week. The Mayne, and McBrides Creek have flooded well, so will make your river a little better.

Sounds like you're busy, so much for high fuel prices!!! Good to see. Road's quiet here, rain in Winton would have turned any likely campers away from the Lakes.

The main flood should reach here tonight, can't see anything from house this am.

Well, the bacon 'n eggs haven't turned up, I'd better go have some cereal!

Hooroo...

You still make whoopie at your age?.....LOLOL

yes ...cos i Still Can!

Great stuff that Viagara.

So I've heard LOL.

what does it taste like Jimbo

You left to early Bruce :) We had excellent evening and great day all day today with sun shining.....
