G'day Baldy, Thanks for replying mate. To answer your questiom 1. Wife is no longer a part of the equation, it seems. 2. Hard to carry a boat on a motorcycle LOL 3. There is no water near any of these places that is worth paddling.. - with the exception of Paradise Dam. It has become home...

The plan was to have lunch in a small town called Mount Perry. The maps we had studied showed that the road was bitumen, very hilly and with lots of bends etc. How right they were! The guys by this time, I think had got pretty fed up with the leasurely pace of 70mph :shock: and upped the ante...

The run then took us north, past Mundubbera and through Eidsvold to a small park/come overnight camping ground where travellers can camp for no charge. (about 70 miles) There used to be lots of places like this along all our major highways but now are pretty much restricted to the lesser used...

G'day guys. First I would like to apologise for my absence here of late. I have checked in most days, but haven't really felt up to posting. Life has given me an uppercut recently. Nevermind. Some mates and I have just been on a ride to some places I have been before and to some others I have...

Thanks Guys, re Sturgis, we have a couple of anual events that are probably similar, One at Bathurst and another at Phillip Island. I am not into the ricky road racer thing with multi cylinders screaming like a box of blow flies, fairings and all that other bullshit. I like the feel and the...

G'day guys, Been a little "pre-occupied" in recent weeks. sometime, Life just gets in the way. anyway, i would like to introduce you to the new love of my life. Been thinking of getting something like this for a while now. It is a very long time since I have ridden one but have been feeling...

In 1972, in our national election, the great traitor Gough Whitlam came to power for the leftistas on a promised platform of "change" not unlike what you have just experienced in America. Part of the "change" was a universal health care system that he called Medicare and it was to be loosely...

G'day guys, i have been asked to wade in here so I will try to explain Australias "Communist", public health care system -it level of success or otherwise and what the results are now. I don't know very much about what obama is trying to achieve in your country but somebody here said they...

G'day guys, and thanks for the nice comments. Hervey Bay is about at the southern extent of any coral reefs here. There are a few patches of coral further south but not much. As such, the coral even here is pretty sparce and consists of clusters of it clinging to rock sub structure. Still very...

G'day guys and very sorry about the delay here, life has been getting in the way. I worked the edges of the reef and drop offs with my squid jigs to no avail, but solid blackall http://www.fishingherveybay.com.au/imag ... sh0016.JPG kept bloody monstering my jigs. In desperation I changed to a...

Mate, In my opinion, these are the only people you need for a very good fishing boat. I found my Swampgirl 16 very stable (as in rock solid) and my seat was about 8 inches off the bottom. Speed was adequate and was probably the best fishing platform I ever owned. Worked equally well as a...

Darn fine words of wisdom there Bear. If you don't ask you will never know. At the moment your boss is getting a whole heap of extra for nothing. I would bet he would be prepared to "negotiate" If not, he is a bum.

Jimmy, A couple of questions if you don't mind. you don't have to answer them. they are more to ask yourself before you make the decision. 1. Will your current retirement income be enough to retire on? 2. Can you lock it in so that that income is guaranteed for the rest of your life? 3. Is...
