Also got a pansized grunter, and a small trevally, both released. -- Edited by...

Once aboard you would never know it was a double deck plane. We found it comfortable with adequate legroom and by far the quietest jet wev...

I don't know wether it's just my eyes or if Jonathan is trying to fill the Funny Farms... Each time I look at his Avatar it seems to change.. One day it's a normal, er unaltered pic then the next day the eyes & nose are stretched.... I think I'm Losing It!!!!

Well I'm all packed. 100 litres of cheap fuel. Heaps and heaps of good food. When I'm camping I like to be a bit of a p1ss pot so I've got plenty of wine and grog. 100 kilos of good red gum fire wood to keep warm. Leaving at 5am. Lake eyre here I come.
