    Moccona Instant Coffee

    I have loved Moccona coffee for years, as far as instant goes it was always supreme. I remember having to hide it from my housemates back in my early 20's as they could smash through a jar in no time. They were happy enough to drink Nescafe 43 by the gallon but I always found it to give me the...

    Did the lawns, and then grabbed some lunch....

    Pushed the mower around the backyard for the first time at the new house, tons of huge broadleaf weeds I have to deal with and some cat heads in one part that is a bit drier. Got it all done and the missus asked if I felt like some Fish n Chips, seemed like a good idea. Went to a recommended...

    Schooled by a 5 year old.....

    Stumbled across this pic from about 3 summers ago. Took my little nephew fishing out at Thompsons Creek Dam. Trophy dam so artificial only. The little guys first fish, he nabbed it on a devon spinner in brown trout colour and an old Fenwick 1-3kg rod Pfluger combo that I bought at least 20 years...

    ALICE pack frame

    Anyone have any idea of Aussie sellers of Alice pack frames? (or similar). I had a bit of a google search and found either "out of stock" or only USA sellers. I found this ripper from ALPS OutdoorZ costs around $100 AUD plus around $55 postage from the US :/, pricey but a good unit. However, I...

    Can I please borrow $1,350,000 off you guys?

    2,788 Acres. Hill End/ Tambaroora, looks like the owners are willing to split it into 2 properties, has gold-bearing creeks on the place :P Wish I was still cashed up, even to go in with a few others to buy it as a group would be nice. Would make a nice place for Prospecting Australia...
