    Fuel wise I did 470k and used 70 litres of fuel for a cost of $90 not $120 like I said up there

    All gear cleaned , re oiled what ever needed to be done, then I laid it all out and started culling.
    The self infating mattress can stay behind takes up way too much room, where as a sheep skin
    will suffice for the sake of a couple of nights, you are either very tired or full of juice anyway.
    My new 20 ltr water storage tank will be ready next week, that will store vertically or lying down.
    All knives have been re-sharpened, good thing too as a packed in the rain and all the fat had gone a tad rancid.
    boiling water put an end to that, the camp ovens were ok as I used foil liners, they were cleaned as soon as I
    arrived home. This is where I miss Jack and Crooza those two were the best camp oven cleaners ever lol
    Tyson and Billy are useless in this area.

    Going to trial these bulls eyes LEDs and the cob leds on my awning.
    Those strip leds are shite ImO.
    FYI where the wires come out of the housing on the cob lights put a few drops of super glue there
    the tin outer may break the insulation. these will throw more than enough light IMO

    I had an absolute ball. It was over a 1000k round trip for me, but it was worth it to meet TD, Cuppa MC Cranky and TD's mates, John and Wayne, and also to see Bob and Roofy again. When the fish were quiet, and the roasts were eaten, I was entertained with many a deep discussion, ranging from sport to politics.

    I just have to show, once again, the cod and the decent size silver perch I caught. They reckon the silvers are endangered, but I have caught heaps of them. I will have to find a waterway down here that has been stocked with silvers, so I can have a feed of them.

    Keep cranking that coffee handle, Cuppa...
