Neil,
Wouldn't be too hot @
Innamincka either!
2.5 degrees @ Moomba yesterday AM, and a max in high teens, I think.
No doubt they are plenty of warming ales, red etc
cheerio,
Bob.

Things are nice and peaceful in the
forum.
I'm happy to wait for a few weeks for the next issue of flag napping, ribbings and selective recalls :)

Seem to remember it being done a while ago...long vs short handled etc. I can't think of anything that hasn't been done here. Religion and politics done, vehicle, tyres and fridges have all been done to death. Most
places visited...crikey, what's left ?

What about some of those legendary come-in spinner yarns of the bush. You know the ones spun around the campfire or in an outback pub after much golden nectar has passed the lips.
Must be flowing freely... (Bullchit and the yarns) at Innaminck by now). Lets hear a few of our own :-)))
Cheers all
Fred.

Anyone remember the bloke who was on an outback fishing trip, and whilst wetting a line in the Darling above
Louth, pulled out a Murray Cod that was so big, it lowered the
water level in the
Menindee Lakes by 2 foot. They even made a song about it. True....LOL

Maybe when "Kiwi & Grenade" brake out the rum balls, they will loosen up their chatter a bit & maybe we will hear from someone?
In the meantime, I hope they freeze Like we are at the moment. LOL & cheers.

G'day
I arrived home from
Innamincka this morning after 2 nights at the gathering
Would have liked to spent more time up there but had to get home for family commitments..
About 35 people around the
camp fire on Tuesday night and more were expected for Wednesday night.Lots of goodies for the raffles and most people bought along fire wood. Good to see several members with their children and grand children.. This was my first gathering and I met some nice people and hope to do it again.It was interesting to see the different vehicles,trailers,vans tents and
camping gear. iI picked up a lot of ideas.Next time I will make sure I have plenty of time.
Temperature was about 18 on Monday and Tuesday ,both nights freezing with heavy frosts.
Diesel at
Innamincka $2.21,at
Tibooburra $2.11,
Broken Hill $1.85,and
Mildura $1.91
I saw a few trucks and 4 wheel drives heading north but nothing travelling south.
Innamincka to
Bacchus Marsh is approx 1460 km and I didn't see a south bound passenger vehicle on the road, only 4
mine trucks near
Broken Hill .Probably the price of fuel keeping them home.
Regards
Jeff.O.

Be prepared for a prize to be delivered from Srubcat.
I just got home and found this thread. I think Willem should be home today sometime as
well.

Jeff,
He was heading for
Birdsville hahaha
There is absolutely no chance of drinking your prize.
After Scrubby gets his alternator fixed he should be heading home.
Cheers Kev

After all the viatribe, there has been only one real reply to this question. I must agree. After what seems to have been months of Innaminka this and Innaminka that, the lack of feed back is most mysterious!
Is there anything happening? Or is this yet another furphy?
A challenge. Come on you u-beaut so called travellers, give us at home wanna bees som info!!!

Just back from the Gathering.
You guys just don't understand that we who attended were having too much fun participating and lacked the necessary means of Internet connection to give "running updates" even if we wanted to.
Now, I'm not saying anything more.
You'll just have to wait for the official report to be prepared and released:-)))
Bill.
