G'day guys, Miss Evie and I have been a lil busy with our new camper in recent weeks. We are planning some serious trips to our north-west outback next year and the little camper we bought just was not robust enough for where we want to go. A visit from Dave Wallace a few weeks ago convinced us...

Re: Skinny perow coming Geez Ron, I like the lines of this one - a lot. Been thinking on doing something a little similar, only with a laker style bottom. Why do you prefer the flat bottom mate?

Geez Matt, Goona show this one to Miss Evie. She just loves to cook sweet stuff. 8) 8)

Looks like a rip off to me

G'day guys, Been a li'l pre-occupied here in recent months but I got a bit more done today. transom is on and the bottom is all cleaned up. and first gunwhale is on. :D While is was doing this also doing a few repairs to my sasquatch. She took a flogging in recent river runs down...

Workin up a sweat there mate. :P The days generally warm up to around 70 -75f but the nights can get pretty cool for here.

G'day Chuck, Camper trailers are as popular as heck here. There are thousands of them about the place and usually they are bigger and flasher than ours, more like this one here :- http://www.campertrailer.com.au/Light_O ... eluxe.html A superb set up but can be a PITA to erect and pull down...

Miss Evie and I are feeling the winter here this year. just a few pics from the other day, doing what we could to avoid the worst of it. :D We went bush, (a couple of miles away) Dr, Stihl Quick cuppa, and in no time flat, the trailer is full. :D

Sides and floor attach to the annex via velcro and the whole thing is bug screened 8) Add a tarp for shade or shelter from the rain and we are pretty much set :D Expect many camping trip reports from here in the coming months. 8) 8)

G'day Ron, I think what is most important differs from paddler to paddler. Even then, our paddling styles, locations and even what we hope to achieve in paddling varies not only from bloke to bloke, but from day to day. We both have some very fast kayaks. I just couldn't be bothered paddling...

Mate, will probly do it in the webber. :D

Geez Piper! I can feel my arteries clogging up now. :D Me & Miss Evie Gonna do this one Sat nite. :mrgreen:

The agreed upon 1600 came and went and we were still a long way from the take out with little idea on how far we had left to paddle so we had to improve our pace a bit. there are way too many strainers in this section of river at the moment to even think about paddling after dark. The...

As the day wore on, we occassionally saw a platypus here and there and by the end of the day, we had seen a total of 8. I have seen 16 platypii before in my life. 15 of them were in the Mary River. Evie and never seen one. We are still trying to get a piccie of one of these very shy little...

We were forced to walk the boat through many very shallow sections with many stops along the way for cups of tea and snacks to warm our thoroughly chilling bones And we even saw a wild deer, running with a mob of cattle at one point. (a first for me)

We arrived at Ian's place on Tuesday Afternoon, settled in and made plans with him about our proposed put in and take out the following day. the plan was to put in at around 0900 at Tuchekoi crossing and paddle the 20 - 25 klms down stream to Traveston, near where the proposed dam was to be...

G'day guys. Its been a while since I posted uch in the way of trip reports. In fact, I have done very little paddling in the last 12 onths. I while ago, I posted a story on "Dala" our Lungfish and her last reaining habitat, The ary River here. Both were under threat of a proposed mega dam at...
