Truth be known BZ Mate, Rossco is one of Southern Australia’s ‘Bestest’ Commercial Tree Top Climbing LumberJack’s
Affectionately known in certain circles as ‘The Skinny Bushman’ due to his appearing adolescence yet a 40YO++ fat free stature and sound knowledge of all things Native Down Under.
Australian ‘Huntsman Spiders’ are near harmless (sometimes nippy) but can be aplenty if you accidentally disturb a nest, possibly why Rossco rightly so may be suffering Arachnophobia behind the bark and or gender dysphoria as a LumberJill but we doubt the later
FWIW: Genuine Arachnophobia with specific trades (workers) onsite and also unlucky/unknown timed campers experiences across Australia is real BZ Mate
A ‘Tough Bushman Concreter’ mate of ours once told of his younger horror story with himself and his Plumber/Bricklayer/Trucker mates and their annual Blokes weekend away lighting their long weekend continuous hoped fire at the base of a dead half standing hardwood tree on our Mighty Murray Border River.
As the story goes, within minutes of ignition, hundreds, if not thousands of the ‘Nippy Huntsman Variants’ flowed out of the hollow stump and sent some of Australia’s most hardened tradesmen squealing into the river for safety.
Car doors all left open back on dry land and our old concreter mate still jumps to this day if you lower your sunscreen visor whilst he is a passenger
The above pic I posted shows a freak of nature, folks. There is a concave face to the rocks at Cape Nelson which reflect the occasional wave back to one point. If another incoming wave hits the rock shelf at just the right moment, even on a calm day, a gush of water spews skyward.
Mrs mudsane and I went driving along the coast. We watched the Surrey River outflow for a while, then spotted a couple of whales 300 to 400 metres off the beach. They were very active, but the wind was whipping the top off the surf. The resulting mist kept stuffing up the focus, so I only got a few tame pics.
