Like a recipe I found this method consistent when breeding gents, known here in South Australia, a very successful bait for garfish, tommies or herring and many other species as well. 8 or so live gents on a size 7 limerick hook will catch multiple fish before rebating therefore a rapid way to catch you...

Does any one reading this forum have experience in getting an article accepted and published for caravan and or camping magazines? I read a lot of mags and it seems to be the same writers all the time having the chance to get an article published. Any hints on how to crack the ice, so to speak?

Well this city slicker kid has just learnt another very valuable bush lesson. Whilst parked up here in another idyllic spot, it has rained over the past couple of days on and off, no probs, plenty of book work and reading to catch up on. Watched the gum trees and they are all safe and sound, no worries ther...

My mechanic mate arranged for a new starter m...

Hi All, Wondering if anyone has a portable wireless printer and what brand they choose and why.

Have been waiting a long time to say that. Have all the modifications done to the old van (The Heart) and now we are off. Camped at the Pines at Belmont NSW then slowly heading to a Country Music muster in Bundaberg before heading to Darwin. SOOOOOOO good to be on the road again

It's been getting very dry here at Dickabram bridge but today we have had some lovely rain. The area certainly needs it & the Mary River is very low.

When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months. A will is a dead giveaway. With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress. When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye. Those who get too big for their pants will be exposed in the end...
