Today I BOUGHT

Don't use an inverter, car charger is just a cigarette plug, to battery box and solar panel.
Yesterday this wonderful collection of Victorian Goldfields pictures crossed my path. What I paid for these is a mere fraction of what they are worth. Needless to say I am extremely impressed to have these.
Great bits of history mate.
The frames alone are worth more than what I paid. They are going to look great in the new house when we move to Ballarat.

Are they John Vanders by any chance?
The signature in the bottom left of each picture is S.T.G.
Are they Samuel Thomas Gill 1818-1880.

A present from the postie came today.... my new Italian bushcraft knive.
A real work of art with walnut handle, hand made leather sheath and best of all, M390 stainless steel blade.
Can’t wait to make use of it around my next campsite.

Looks like it should be very handy.

Picked up a Coiltek camo 11". Very good nick.
What a find!
The old diggers were in many cases well educated and talented people starved for success in their homeland.
We are so fortunate to have many literary and artistic people like Gill to document the realities of our goldfields in books, diaries and pictures.

Nah, I don't like roof top anything?
Once the quad is off, I will set up a stretcher in the tray, it's pop up stretcher with mozzie net attached, nice mattress and pillow, a couple of fans, and I'm comfy. It has a ceiling of sorts already, plastic sheet about 2or 3mm thick. Need the storage of the rack anyway. I find tents too hot up here to be honest.
