    Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

    I hate to smoke and run, Ph03nix and my daughter need me to be by the fire, and I need to grab some more wood. It's a beautiful night (about 26C) and not a cloud in the sky. The moon is up and I should be out appreciating it. No offense gang, but I need a billy and a sit down...I might even brew...

    Thanks vette. We have a home, but it's now 550km South of us while we're doing this court thing. But we have good friends in town we can stay with...it's just that we really don't like getting into other peoples' spaces...and we are actually more comfortable living in St Jimmy than sleeping in...

    Oh certainly not that rough Vette. We shower every night...or second night, depending on how far from civilization we are. Even so, we have a 'camp shower' if we need to use it. Once this court battle is done, we'll have a home base and be able to travel proper like. But seriously, we are fully...

    Well, to be honest, when all said and done, our country has a *brilliant* welfare system. I am currently on a sickness payment due to my depression that I've mentioned before. Ph03nix is in a similar position, but on what's termed a PSP program. We get payed XX amount per fortnight. It's enough...

    Ooops. I also meant to say that St Jimmy sleeps three comfortably. Two adults can sleep in the back with the seats down...one child in the front seats. The front is a 'two third' style seat that works as a bed when you jam a cushion down in the gap between the seats...but we have tents too if we...

    Nah, s'all good Vette. We can have a cooler if we need one. We got lucky a week or so back. My bro' in law threw out an 800 watt inverter (12 - 240V). I grabbed it out of the dump trailer and checked it out. It works fine. But, we have a small box trailer with all our food needs. We use powdered...

    Here ya go Vette and all. This was taken about twenty minutes ago. The mysterious figures are my daughter moving around with the light...Ph03nix sitting by the fire...and the shadowy figure to the bottom right is our dog Jack. You can see the river kind of reflecting the glow and the city glow...

    Sweet bloke. I'll do the same on this side of the pond for you (or down under I guess from your perspective) 'Sweet' is an aussie term, like bonzer, cool, OK, or even, in the vein of a popular Queensland beer, 'Good as Gold'. Pics coming in five minutes or so...we're just listening to...

    Hey folks. It's around 7:30pm Easter Sunday here. We have the Good Friday holiday, then Saturday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday for our Easter break. The kids have an extra four days holiday and go back to school after next weekend. We're currently camped on the banks of the mighty Fitzroy...

    Guys (and Girls who wish to be individualized but not in a sexist way), I really really hate paying for a supposed high bandwidth prepaid connection, but get relegated to dial-up ... well, actually gsm mobile speed because the supplied modem roams and there is no way to keep on the high...

    As we say in Australia, "You're just a fucking legend!!!" ...or "you're a foot"...a leg end...geddit? An older Aussie colloquialism is, "You're a smooth bastard" ;-)
