Had an ancestor that was a rebel of 98, all officers not hanged were sentenced to transportation, most to never see home again

Sorry to hear that mate had some close calls on tractors myself of which ive mentioned a couple in this thread. +2 two on the organising stuff my friend that died on the 4th his funeral hasnt even happened yet for a whole range of avoidable reasons.

Just spent the last couple of days on and off re-reading about 150 odd pages of this thread. Laughed, cried, cried laughing, so many human experiences. So many memories, so many stories told, so many stories left untold. Tall tales and true and many halfway between 🤣. Life has got a bit on top of me...

Wait till thinks calm down here and prices go back to normal, might take another trip

Owen was a big man with a big heart give ya...

You can save yourself a small fortune buying copper pipe from a scrap metal dealer its not even uncommon to find unused fittings and elbows there or 2" with an elbow hard soldered on. My first pot still cost me like $50 to make and most of thst was an end cap and liebig condenser fittings

In the past ive always answered this question with the opinion that its mostly about the enjoyment of producing something of quality and perhaps some libation unique. That said prices are getting to the point now that cost savings are becoming more of a factor, around here its like $6 verses $60 giv...

RIP Toby Keith

I tried to run my continuous on etoh. I haven't gotten it to work yet

Friend up the track here runs a thumper no problems on wood, or did. Believe he plans to switch to gas as its easier and cleaner

That was SBB said he was there, however turns out i did actually spend a couple weeks round there that place. It is pretty country saw a bit round there had tour of butcher's hollow and all that went to a country music show in paintsville met a lot of good folks before heading up to Ashland to catch...

Not too sure about that SBB , last time I went up Barra fishing in Kakadu i had to work right up to leaving. It got down to -7 back home in S A, I had to put downpipes on guttering at the hospital and was wet and freezing. I left to drive with 3 other drivers and we drove non-stop 30 hours up to the...

Yeah the push buttons are not exactly semi autos but they do allow for deliberate fast follow up shots, these are required not so much for ducks but more so rabbits where you come across a warren and had very little time on multiple targets generally not in exactly the same direction. I could also s...

Been doing the rounds around the gun shops looking at all the new pb tech out there and i reckon ive settled on my next buy

G'day y'all , my old mate Bags that has been part of some of my stories has closed his eyes to wake no more and was laid to rest last Friday. The plum brandy we drank at his wake was one he helped run and left over from his 60th a few months back. Good food, good music, good drink, good friends, but...

Oh no I just meant I might know of a very good deal on once used 20 litre whiskey barrels (if they are still available)

I spent Christmas in my old home town on the Murray River which is in flood, the second highest level in history. It got quite hot but there was a ban of and boating or swimming even in backwaters, bloody nanny state. I mean to say, I the main channel of the river is dangerous and power boats will w...

Bottom line : 20 years in 6 days is a hoax and an outlandish claim but you can do something in that time make something that will be drinkable in 20 years? Nice idea but I am 81. Something for the grandkids... Geoff (Off topic) We should catch up, had plans of heading to Echuca this holidays but th...
