Ah,those were the days.Also,every now and then,we used to find a carpet snake curled up in the one we had when i was a kid.Grab it by the tail,into a pillow case quick knot in the end,all good.

And they usually had not the nicest smell....

Until we dropped them off somewhere the next day,at least a few K's away.

Spotlessly clean snakes? That is a new one.[bigrolf] We really do have a modern setup come ablution times Paul, with a fancy schmancy do dad which diverts excess power from the panels to the HWS.

I think it may even be called a Diverter.[bighmmm][smilebigeye]

Really?

You are living the high life.

Yes, well, nah,that was the shower we had prolly 50yrs ago,in the Foresters hut on Fraser Island.
Lived there for a while,the old man was working there,no power,tank water,wood cooker,then one day the kero fridge arrived.Sort of cooled in winter,but summer it ran half out of puff.[bigrolf]More chance of the butter(or it could have been marg) staying half solid in a container floating in the lake.[thumbsupbig]

You have mentioned living on Fraser previously & it always sounds like an idyllic/learning/healthy existence.

A part of your life that you won't get back but hell, what memories eh?

You gave all that up to be a bloody Fridgie? What are you, some sort of fruitcake?[bigrolf]
I recall SA Scouts having some sort of Jamboree there yonks ago & it sounded wonderful.

Just near the end they show how easy it is to remove a broken axle.

However, how did they get the broken bit out?
