Found - Patrol keys at the base of Mitchell Falls, Kimberley!!

Well so many looks an but replies, its deserving of at least one so maybe, go buy a lotto ticket.

Hi Leroy
You are one lucky person, the next question is will the transponder still work.

Cheers

Stephen

I reckon you are lucky that was the only thing to fall out of your shorts

Leroy,

How did you get home without the keys? spare set hidden perhaps?

A lucky find indeed :)

Well done Leroy,
We all get lucky occasionally.
If we are travelling with another car, we swap spares keys just in case.

Way to go, great news that. And good of them to hand them in. People are good eh

Yeah - well - you can tell the rangers at Uluru (Ayers Rock when I was there in '79) that no ones returned my wallet with 60 bucks in it that blew outta my stubbies shorts pocket in the wind as we climbed the 2nd steep chained section, in the last 30 years!

It's about time they got out there and found it dammnit - I've been more than patient after all - they can find keys at the bottom of a waterfall- they can find a missing wallet in 30 years surely! ;o)

Cheers!

We take spare keys and hide them in the car. Even if I have to smash a window it's better than phoning someone at home and explaining where the hidden key is to get into the house to get the spare keys and and post them to where ever we are.

Imagine if your 20 klm up the beach, or 500klm from nowhere?

Well hopefully it wont be too much longer when they invent a way to access your car with your own finger print. Just like they have done with laptop computers.

Great story....you just never know..

How's this one....I had a mate in the Carnarfin (Carnarvon) fishing comp. He bought a very expensive new rod and reel set-up which he promptly dropped overboard on the first day about 40 mile out. The story went around the competitors at the weigh in...

Later in the week during the weigh ins....my mate was presented with a new rod and reel....funny thing was it was his original one lost days earlier and hooked by another fisherman off the bottom fishing the same area...

What are the chances of that????????

There sure are some amazing 'what are the chances' stories.

recently had an early morning swim in the pool below Wangi Falls in Litchfield. Unfortunately in my haste I swam off with my prescription glasses on and they disappeared. We toured up to Buley Rock Holes and Florence falls for the day before retuning to the camp site about 3:30pm. I wandered down to the pool, hoping to find someone with a mask and snorkel. There was a young girl there with a set but she was just going into the water so I kept an eye on her, trying not to seem too interested and getting arrested, when I noticed another chap drying himself off with a set nearby. I approached him and asked if I could borrow them as I had a fair idea as to where the glasses were. Oh, he said, do you mean these, handing me my glasses, a little bent and missing one lens where they had been stood on. But there is more. He had the other lens as well, but the little tiny screw that clamps the lens was missing. He had swum back with the glasses in his back pocket of his board shorts. So, he checks his pocket and produces the screw. 10 mins back at the camp and all was sorted.(After many thanks to the finder) Didn't buy a Lotto ticket. Reckoned I had used up all my luck.

Took these two old dudes out fishing one day.
Eddie & Ernie - brothers.

Well Eddie's so sea sick he can't stand up, on his knees, & heaving over the side. He throws so hard one go, that his false teeth went with it!

After that he's feeling a bit better and doesn't want us to go back in just yet - starts to even fish a little - but you can see he's still crook and not enjoying it much at all.

I'm happy enough to go back in but Eddie doesn't want to spoil Ernie's day out fishing, so we persevere another hour maybe.

Ernie gets this idea to take the mickey outta Eddie and when the fishing's a bit slow - he secretly takes out his own false teeth out and ties em to the end of his line and drops it over!

When he has Eddies attention for a second he fakes the biggest bite and wrestles this set of false teeth all the way to the boat, like its a shark or something, and cool as you like - lifts the false teeth into the boat, saying "Jeeze Eddie would ya look at that - I've hooked ya false teeth!"

Quick as a wink Eddie whips em off the end of his brothers line - slaps em in his gob, trys to chew down - whips em back out again (without seeing the joke at all), and unceremoniously tosses em back over the side, saying "nah - they aren't mine - they don;t fit must be someone elses"!.

Bugger me - I had the pair of them to take back without either of em being able to speak properly, and BOTH minus their false teeth!

Funnyest days fishing I ever had!

They were a right pair!

Cheers
