But, is there any convention for emptying such a cassette tank when living away from a caravan park. Can the wast...

Gday... This topic has been bandied around on a couple of other threads recently. I thought I would put this information in one new thread for those who may have missed the discussions that have meandered around within other topics.

OK back in the 1980s-90s while living in Kalgoorlie, one of our favourite pastimes was catching Yabbies in many dams around Kalgoorlie.
