Going through a pile of old photos, I found this one. Myself, Neil & Chris, dry blowing mates at Ringneck (Near Kambalda) in 1990. We blew a nice little pile of fine gold, needed a few icy coldies after each long dusty day.

Bought a 39l Engel early 80's. Had a canvas cover made with woolen blanket liner. The lid section has two inner layers of blanket. Here we are Christmas 2024 and it's purring away in the garage with a side of lamb frozen. Set just below max so it cycles rather than full-time running. Bought a...

Had a lot of involvement with Robert Ross back in 2004 before we set off in search of Lasseter's Reed in 2005. Robert wrote this poem about the pending search.

Good, if you get your hands on a 2100 you won't be disappointed if you set it up correctly. Can give you some advice if and when.

No third degree. The various mobs only met up every month or so to discuss and maybe approve applications like this. We did not have to show our approved applications to anyone, probably because there was no one out there.

Took me 3 months going through the channels to gain permission. We had to abort the mission due to heaviest rain since Lasseter was out there. Two weeks after driving thousand kms we gave up. In that time we did not meet one local, only their abandoned government funded settlements. Good luck.

Rick, Have a Barrett HF radio that after the initial cost about 20 years ago has cost me nothing. Can talk to airline pilots, listen to the BBC and of course make family & emergency calls anywhere in Australia. Vast TV, once again free after initial cost just have to re- register every 6...

We get away to getaway. 🙂
