Australia in all kinds of trouble, 5/48. Think I’ll look for a movie to watch. 

This is an example of the ramps in New Zealand.......this one is located at the major tourist area of Coromandel Town. Even the ducks were sinking in the mud   

 I want to start smoking some fish which is something I've never done before. Im looking at spending up to a couple of hundred dollars on a smoker. Should i buy a spirit or a charcoal one and what are the pros and cons of each type? Cheers Pete

 No fishing with the boat still out of action due to the theft we raided the freezer of some dhuie and yabbys. Add a bit of cream and garlic and theres dinner

How’s this for a dugite? Caught in a garage up the street. 

 yep

doing my house ASAP and not too sure about the inverter.

have been quoted about $500 more for the Fronius (10 year warranty)inverter as aposed to Goodwee/solis (5 year but upgradeable for $200 to 10 year) fronius made in Aust by austrian Co and other china

is there really a difference?

Hello guys /girls anyone up around lucky bay Kalbarri area doing ok with beach fishing ? Looking to head up there shortly , seeing if any Taylor about , cheers Mark... 

Had an opportunity to get the cruiser out of the trailer and head into Perth today, needed to get a wedding present for the niece, gee it’s sure changed, we only got as far as the big place in Cannington, carousel or something. Had a pretty awesome feed there and must have walked a few miles. Took us a couple of hours there and back, we are currently based at a ripper place just to the east of York called Greenhills, the tavern there allows you to free camp if you spend at the tavern, and why not, great beer, great food. It’s one place we’ll get back to sometime in the future. 

 is there any 1 in rocky that can teach my young bloke to tie his tally for his naval cadets cap , i am ex army with a buggered left hand/arm and cand help him with that

 my battle with ciggys has been life long ive given up numerous times for 3 to 6 months and the got back on them , i even managed 6 years 1 time , i was going thru some stuff in my home office the other day and found the card Vilma from from Vitallity clinc gave me when i did a hypnoism sesion with her to give them up (ciggys ) its been 1 year 1 month and 4 days . and i havent had 1  , so if your trying to kick them i am here to say you can if i can anyone can

Not sure if this has been directly discussed on here before, I'm sure it probably has but I cannot seem to search for it. Whilst I'm no expert on the estuaries and, have no idea what the estuary systems were like 30-40-50 or, 100 years ago, I do live on them ( been down this way 20 odd years) and love them and am interested to hear peoples opinions about why they think the Point Grey development will be a bad thing. Now before you dust off your soap boxes, climb on them and start hollering from a great height I would ask you to consider a few personal observations. 

Am I correct in saying the Dawesville Cut was the engineering project that saved the flora and fauna populations within the estuary systems from hypereutrophic disaster? I note in recent discussions and comments that some proponents against the proposed development claim that the dredging and development will stir up old sediment etc that will potentially destroy crab and fish populations. Is this really a possibility given that the system is now well flushed by tidal movements, thanks to the "Cut"? Did the construction of the Cut stir up sediment and destroy these same populations (from most accounts they were in trouble already)? 

Now, I confess I know nothing about the Yunderup canal developments but, I am intimate with the Mandurah (Halls Head, Waterside etc..) canal developments and I have to say that these waters must be some of the healthiest anywhere. Having the ability to watch dolphin pods, see huge schools of mullet, catch crabs, flounder, enormous bream, juvenile pinkies, cobler, mulloway (these are species I have seen personally) and god know what else is in there, direct from the canal walls tells me that these canals have only enhanced the aquatic environment.

So, with all that said, and with the assistance of some hostoric evidence on the seeming enhancements that developments since the Eighties have acheived, please offer the forum some measured comments on why we think Point Grey may degrade (or otherwise) the environment

Please try to avoid the rich chinese or privileged few arguments, if we can and focus on the environmental debate.

Look forward to the discussion

Thanks

When you gotta go 

 Im up here working in kalgoorlie and got a phone call from Sandy a bit later than normal only for her to tell me we got robbed. Some asshole got onto our boat and pinched the fuel tank and batteries just to start with. Wont know what else untill i see photos later. All happened between 5 and 5:30 thismorning. To say im pissed off is an understatement

Had just a handful of nice days since we’ve been back in “sunny” WA, and now with the clouds building we’re we are now, I’d say there’s rain coming. Good for these cockies around here, but that’s nearly all.

Aussies going much better in Abu Dhabi, Packi’s having a hit and looked good until the little Lyon man came on, 4/4 at present, score 5/57. 

 Theres a property in the Gascoigne that has a 2.7 kilometer rifle range. Its on landline abc on sunday. Apparently  shooters come from all over the world to shoot here with the long gun.

Don’t underestimate Belly 

 Hi all,

I recently had a flat on my boat trailer only to notice it is a 4 stud 100mm pattern. Looking to upgrade to galvanised rims while I am at it, but really struggling to find a place in Australia that sells them. Does anyone know where I can get a set? Or am I best off changing to a 5 stud hubs?

Lets remember 12-10-2002, Bali bombing.
Its been 16 years.
RIP

 Crew i've posted here before about this topic when Pandora was shut down, its got to the point now that paying for spotify gives me the shits....

Anyone else out there running Sonos at home and have a good setup without having to pay the likes of Spotify?

 Anyone know the best place to get the seats in the boat redone. S of river prefer. 

Has anyone had it done and rough cost 

. 

 With only this weekend for a chance for so.e big stuff we headed out to a spot we havnt fished for a couple of months. Set the drift and had some interest on my line shortly after . Managed to hook up but the fight was a bit different to what ive had before and with a bit of a fight up came my first ever harley and a decent size too. Shortly after sandy nailed a sized dhuie . Went over to a new drift line to avoid cray pots and i managed to get a dhuie at 630 . With not much else on the chew other than some undersize stuff we moved into our kg spot . First drift Sandy nailed 3 nice kgs and me 1.  Reset but this time the wind had changed . Both sandy and i got busted off by something and Sandy losing a monster kg just short of the boat and then nailing another a bit smaller. Went back to reset and shortly after with a great fight up came a nice black ass. 

Ended up with our bag of demersal and 6 nice kgs so we were happy . Great feed and a first we certainly cant complain. 

 well the end of an era is here. no more ford falcon for bathurst. 

wont be long before the commodore follows suit. 

wont be the same in years to come. who do people tip for the win this year

Morning Team,
I need to replace the Morse Cables (throttle and gear selection cables) for my Etec as with my new cable run, the existing ones are around 300mm short.

My existing cables were Teleflex CC20515 9069 and were ~15.5 feet (4.75m) and I need a 17ft replacement

I am unable to find anything with 9069 (and struggle to find anything Teleflex in Australia) so I am hoping someone with some knowledge can let me know what the last numbers mean?
