    Sounds good to me

    Hi guys, just discovered this thread as regards the planned trip, bummed i wont be able to make it though!!!!!

    the track was 'clear as' on my last visit, did a shit load of 'overhead gardening' so it should be clear of small deadfall hanging overhead, took out a load of bush lawyer too that was at head height....

    you should all be good to go, Rushy there was a full bag of your 'treated pine' still at camp when i left, it was too wet to have a campfire the weekend i was there.....that 'spiker' should still be about!!!!!!

    good luck guys, i know you'll have a ball......

    Roddy I have a spare pair of Huntech knee length gaiters that I can bring if you remind me closer to the time.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I have bagged up a fair bit of eucalyptus for the fire. It makes great embers for the rotisserie.
