    Snake sightings, encounters and reminders.

    Too cold for old mate to strike. If it were summer time you likely would not be with us, he was probably trying to grab what little bit of early winter sun that he could.

    Today Is

    Happy birthday for yesterday Madmax. And like you Dave`s Office I knocked off in Nov. 2017 after 50 odd years of heavy smoking. Good old Log Cabbin eh. Lungs aren`t the best but otherwise I`m fitter than some half my age. It was costing me $280 p/w. Now that money goes towards other pleasures...

    Swag recommendations, information and questions

    Dry Blowing in Victoria's Golden Triangle

    I have been watching a cpl of You Tube videos of Wal N Liz tube blowing, and it is amzing what they have found, with the naked eye. But ofcourse, they have been at this game a long time and know what indicators to look for. None the less, I will be adding a length of plastic tube to my kit. Oh...

    Introduction

    G`day Hawkear. The Lower Tarwin Pub is awesome isn`t it. Especially out on the deck. I`m often down that way during the warmer weather. I farm not far from Turtons and am hoping to visit there in coming months, although I don`t know the area all that well. Not like my son who grew up here and...
