Cheers, Bobj.

Ya big Wuss, why did you drive in, why not hike

100 km in 40C temperatures might be why...

Or...100 litres of water is a tad heavy for Mum to carry, along with the mattresses and folding chairs.

Cheers, Bobj.

Here is a little camp with 2 dudes, 2 Z's a hammock and a sleeping bag in the creek. No 4x4 for 5 plus KM's up in the hills. Carried 30 litres of water in on top of the usual stuff for 4 days was great.

When I drove around Australia... I slept in my sleeping bag and a blow up mattress on the ground right next to my car,

Learn from that and have upgraded to a small caravan :lol: :lol:

I used to have a checklist that had
Shotgun
243 rifle

sleeping bag (just on ground, nothing else)

Now with wife and kid bloody list is long as hell.

I gave "real camping" away the night after "not sleeping" on a log, under a tepee made from a cargo parachute. Half way up a mountain on Langkawi Island, because someone else said "You Will" :argh:

That was confirmed the next night, when during a Monsoon rain storm, sitting on a tree stump, I watched my sleeping bag and blow-ups float on by. 8.(

Only glamping for me

I remember the story of the three service guys.

The army sleep under the stars, the navy navigate by the stars and the airforce choose their hotel by the number of stars. Thankfully I was in the airforce. erfect:

Great Barra spot that bobj and some darn big crocs in that area.

 

[diggit]

I used to just use a sleeping bag inside of a survival bag (basically an orange bag made of tough plastic).

Great way to travel

 

[LONEWOLF]

I think we got the old 45 of that song somewhere, :Y: layful:

 

[Jaros]

I remember playing that tune and the guitarists wife singing it in a dance band I played in, in the 60's early 70's. I played the organ/piano accordian.

We have loads of 50's and 60's records put away here somewhere, from the Platters and Roy Orbison and Brenda Lee, Buddy Holly and all the greats,

 

[Jaros]

I had a recording of the band once upon a time but lost the master tape and nearly myself in a caravan fire. Good old days playing Friday and Sat nights as well as every Octoberfest at the Dorset Gardens Hotel in Melbourne. All Dutch and German nights at Palais StKilda. One night played with Brian May and ABC Showband--that was fantastic.
Wandered off topic-sorry.

nothin too fancy when we go camping. This spot is a litle known water hole in the south west (full of Yabbies)
Was about 12 of us camped here for Aust Day, all in swags & tents.
(ps, the firewood is from cleaning up the camp area when we arrived, saved for cooler months, only gas cooking at this yime of year)
