    Today I Saw a Native Animal

    Nice one hardluck. They are definately either different breeds or male and female. I could spot a couple of differences such as yours looks a little slimmer and longer. My one looked wider and had two distinct rows of humps along the back wheras your pick the back looks flat. Wonder if different...

    I thought the buildings looked familiar but didnt expect it to be my area. Could possibly be around cheltenham road industrial area, if not a few km north around greens road. I should go detectiving tommorow for something to do. Still within my 5km zone :D

    Seems to good to be true ?

    Seems to be a common new style of insurance scam. Noticed it when buying my lithium battery. I assume scam goes as such... guy opens ebay accounts, buys and gets a few ratings. Then puts an ad up with unlimited amounts of rediculously cheap item (e.g. minibike worth a thousand for $60. An amount...

    Today I Saw a Native Animal

    Scorpions in australia arent lethal luckily Like getting a bad bee or wasp sting usually. Some people feel unusual for a while because they have a panic attack because of not knowing if they are going to die or not. I have seen the smaller ones in the dunes around gippsland before a few times...

    Today I Saw a Native Animal

    Found this little feller when i decided to pick up an interesting rock in tarnegulla. Im glad it stayed on the ground and not on the rock i picked up. It seemed fairly aggressive towards the phone when i took the photo so im sure they wouldn't hesitate to sting ya

    Haha. Just a little bit bigger. I also realise there where other vehicle used in the search. Still seems very steep. I wonder why they dont use drone technology for these type of searches yet? Would seem to be an ideal tool for this type of job.can buy a lot of drone(s) for $650,000. :Y:

    I have actually (if only monentarily). Back in 85 i remember paying $50 for a 15 minute joyride. The guy was doing them for years, so assume he was on ok money. Thats why i question 650,000 for a short period. I know there was planes and boats also.. i just hate the way when the gov. Buys...

    Not again

    What i dont understand is how the first search cost $650,000? How? A helicopter and a few boats cant be that expensive to run for a few days surely? Someone is doing well out of it alright... they would saved half a million bucks if they just bought the guy a decent 100k boat in the first place.

    Fricking Toothache

    Hey tath. I take tramadol daily for a bad back. I find it doesnt help much when i get toothache. The magic bullet for me is nurofen plus. One or two of those can kill a cavity tootache and actually help reduce the swelling. I believe codiene is the effective ingredient here. Being codeine it...

    Exempt rivers and creeks Victoria - information and questions

    I have to agree. It is wayy the wrong thing he did. I wouldn't give a damn aboit someone popping down the yarra to have a sneaky covert pan, while doing their best not to draw attention. Nobody will get caught out and it will not inpact on our prospecting hobby. But by flaunting it on commercial...
