    Testing Again

    Thanks Chuck and Jack. The trailer is a full off-road caravan built to near military specs and is capable of going anywhere the tug is capable of towing it. Not big by American standards, but at 19 ft internal, and 3.5 ton, she is big enough for us. These vans were designed for outback and...

    Where are the Boat Builders?

    I've been a bit busy these last 5 years or so. Life has got in the way of building too many more boats.. My Southwind, Sasquatch and Okwater do all that I need from paddlecraft for now. About a year ago, I bought a 23ft modified Dutch Scow of an old bloke who built her from a book. He and his...

    The Paris Agreement on climate change

    Guys, been away for a while. Life keeps getting in the bloody way. The Paris BS is just the start. Our own government (aAustralia) has committed billions that it hasn't got to this scam and is continueing to do so. At least you have a President now with the spine to do the right thing Dang, I...

    Definitely not "politically correct"

    This applies equally to moslems. The snivelling left are a pox on everything our fore-fathers struggled, fought and died for. But there is hope. There is a new Right emerging in every western country. Patriot groups are forming everywhere, even in the most laid back, apathetic country of all...

    Hairies Bayou Skiff.

    Thanks BB. They really are a fine little boat. Light enough to cartop easily and slip along really well under oars and great fun with a small outboard motor.

    THOUGHTS ON GUN CONTROL IN AMERICA

    At the risk of stating the obvious and of becoming as popular as a pork chop in a mosque in this, oh so PC world, does anyone seriously think the BLM mob or the Syrian ? "Refugees" or the gangsters or any of the criminal element are going to surrender their guns ? There is indeed a conspiracy...

    Our Latest Outback Trip

    Thanks Jack. We had a little drama early this morning.. Evie's woke me about 0400 with her blood pressure through the roof, 212/105 and we had to drive 70 miles to the nearest hospital. Never fun to travel on outback roads at night. Bloody kangaroos always a threat and make it very dangerous...

    Our Latest Outback Trip

    G'day guys. It's been a while coming. I am still coming to terms with using a tablet. Evie and I are about 6 weeks into our winter outback trip and are slowly making our way home now. We haven't had internet service for much of the trip but I will try to catch up with a blog and piccies over...
