Been working on the Hiace Commuter, fitted a fridge stand, now moving onto the second battery & charger. Blacked out the windows with that plasticy black corrugated cardboard stuff.
Found a card table so we can sit opposite each other inside when the weather gets lousey & play scrabble. Might be buying a queen mattress to leave in the back so we can just go away with a few minutes notice.
I can fit, could fit, the Patrol wheels onto it. It takes a Hilux diff so I could even put a rear locker in it, but ..... won't be doing any of that.

Yeah wouldn't it. Years ago I had a Mitsubishi L300 4x4, one of the vans and put 31s on that, it looked great.Quote:

Had one of those rare days today where I had no commitments and all day to burn during a 200km drive home. Ended up taking me about 5 hours coz I turned off the highway at all those roadsigns to obscure places I've blown right past for years. Amazing the old villages/settlements/homesteads from bygone eras that are still out there. Nothing substantial that could be called a town, and no shops or touristy stuff, just back blocks and old stuff years ago bypassed by the highways department. Was bloody unreal actually. If you're not on a tight schedule, hook off the highway to check out something you've always driven past without a thought. You might be surprised/interested like me today.
After many phone calls RACV roadside Assist came through and got us home from SA.
This is living!

Weekend warrior time for me, going to photograph before and after shots of suspect campers sites around our mountains so we can hopefully ensure they can’t afford the fuel prices to return and shit in our country shared backyards [emoji106][emoji106]

Yeah bloody entitled dickheads WTF everytime go to the bush and up picking rubbish from other phuckars. . . Good to see 4WD 24/7 getting a good campaign going with free rubbish bags I think and sounds like a lot of good sorts jumping on board. .
Had a bloody good night last night, maybe a few too many rums but soo good sitting on the new deck at Coota looking across the lake at the Howe Range with the moon poking throgh the clouds. A fair bit different to a year ago down here. .

Yep, I fell in love with the Limeatone coast last year on our trip. Can’t wait to do it again. With any luck CJ will be on this coming Christmas. Only 12 months away!Quote:

Unfortunately he was moving at 60kmph towards Nth Ringwood where I finally had a chance to inside pull up beside him at lights for an attempt to subtly encourage him to return and collect.
Received nothing more than some jibber jabber crazy waving F-Off at me so bugger it, he can pay his Australian respects through his tax avoidance cash hip pocket fines!
Did honestly keep my conduct to a minimum beetroot level to hopefully ensure he didn’t take it out later on his oppressed wifey sitting on the back seat being chauffeured.

Regular rain late arvo every day commenced in parched Mutchilba 4 days ago. Heaviest fall last night - 63mm. Almost 200mm over 4 days. Creeks that have been dry since we arrived here last March have become raging torrents. We were cut off last night by fast running water over our concrete causeway entrance. Now about 2" below the top of the concrete & still raging. More forecast for the next few days. Brown & dry is rapidly turning green. Huge puddles still soak away quickly into the sandy soil. More bugs/beetle, flying ants etc around at night. The Channel-billed Cuckoos are gathering together ready for their northern migration. Rains have cooled things down to daily tops in the low 30's (instead of high 30's) but humidity has risen (although nothing like it is down in Cairns.Quote:

This morning we found that the dunny wouldn't flush & every tap on one of the two gravity fed polypipe lines from the irrigation channel was dry. Investigation revealed that overnight the causeway over the dry creek into 'our' property had had around 500mm of water over it, making the creek around 3 metres deep. First time any water in it since we got here last March. Creek is still full & raging,but about 2" below the concrete. Photos taken after all of the larger debris removed. Cause of no dunny water is that the poly line crosses the creek with a joiner mid stream & water pressure has pulled the pipe apart.
The first day - just 14mm. Enough to collapse the infill around the new septic tank giving it a 'moat'. We worried about it floating upward, but so far it's stayed in place

'Our' causeway entrance. The once dry creek bed is about 2.5 metres below the water surface. Had a couple of puddles in it late yesterday arvo - filled overnight.

Upstream of the causeway with me 'discovering' the polypipe has been pulled apart

How's this for the greatest invention ever? It takes a small butane canister which can be refilled, and a blue pesticide mat. I don't know the ingredients and I hope it won't cause me a premature death because it works brilliantly. We were getting smashed with mozzies and within 5 mins of lighting this they were completely gone. It was about $50 at Bunnings.
