Thanks everyone, had a look in a couple of places locally this morning, none available, out of stock or have to be ordered. Will go to BCF tomorrow. Prefer to walk into a shop than buy online but may have to do that.
His birthday is next week & he made an announcement couple of months ago he wanted to spend his 21st at Ayers Rock. Took off Saturday & arrived in Alice Springs today.
Will be non-stop, the advantage of being so young, going to Kings Canyon & couple of days at the Rock then the 3 day trip back home. His girlfriend is with him, great adventure for both of them.
He is an adventurous kid, has been working since end of year 11, chain sawing trees under high voltage power lines throughout the bush nth & central qld for a company who sub contracts to Energex. Its' hot, dirty & hard work with great pay, so proud he's stuck to it & started out with his Uncle & Father, 3 weeks on, back home for 1.
Tight with his money, but the "life" experience he has gotten with working with older men beats anything I think. Some of his workmates have made good money but spent it on drinking, drugs & gambling & are in their 50's with nothing to show for it.
As his mother I'm pleased he's an outdoor kid, has a job & was willing to go bush & work hard.
