[The Mechanic]

I have a confession to make. I'm a sook when it comes to spider's.

So long as the tent has an air mattress and zip flyscreens, I think I could manage it, so long as I had something decent to cook on.

I might think about a camp out.... cant in my court yard because it's pathers and concrete.

we just use an 18' caravan these days...

2 single beds (opens up the floor)
a reclining chair with foot rest
150lt 3 way fridge
solar power/Batteries - lights, tv, water pump, stove fan and rotisserie
gas cooking
diesel heating
inverter to 240v - 600 watts
toilet
shower

we like to rough it you know..

Well, you aren't eating our Polly. Back in a sec....better go feed her she just woke up. She knocks on the wall ....probably scratching lice off her poor little thing, anyway.... I doubt she'd appreciate me trapping then shampooing her, lol

Mutton. Absolutely gross.

Was fed this at a social gathering once, couldn't figure out if the lamb I thought I was eating was rancid or just freaking off.

Some people rave about it

An acquired taste perhaps.

dear lord.. I feel like puking now..

Lol I get the fact that in NZ possums are vermin, so won't hold your desire to cull them against u.

and even a GSX1400 and Trailer around NSW.... light weight 6 man tent and the bare essentials...

unbelievable trips...

And yes... needless to say, I discreetly offloaded the trimmings into my surviett.

Agreed, fing gross


I felt impolite not eating it but honestly, the mutton factor didn't enter my head ... I just thought it was lamb... hung for too long.

I haven't seen much at all.

Unfortunately.

[mellie]

I plan to see more of what Ballarats surrounds has to offer. Just tidying up a few matters first.


I realise we live in a pretty city, but really hadn't given much thought to camping.

What if a drop bear jumps out at us?
