Alstonville??!!
Only 1 hour from the Qld border, so far from Melbourne and Sydney it isn't funny, but obviously full of panic merchants.
There is a high % of retirees there, and that's who fueled the run on staples last time.

Sorry Des and a trout, but I know it wasn't you

But this was in Qld,borders are shut(except for Mick),no cases for the last week or whatever,and toilet paper is rationed?.FFS.

4bee,it was part of SWMBO's inheritance,and its down Ricks way,old asbestos fishing shack is about all it ishandyman special,and i am not a good handyman.....Dunny out the back,oh,and one inside,wind whistles through the cracks in the walls.Numerous buckets inside to catch the water that drips through whats left of the roof.Needs a restump,the floor sort of slopes one way.
I am sure you get the picture

30% of returning Australians from overseas are refusing to be tested. CMO says test or stay in quarantine.

Quarantined Australians face testing crackdown amid reports of refusals

A swag is better by a long shot

Do you really really think we Aussie Battlers could afford a swag? My old man worked 60 hours a day non stop & we went to school wearing hand me down sand shoes (without socks) & no laces. If we were lucky, that is.
Had it tough my arse!

I wish I knew then about getting some perforations to stay warm.

Late in his life I found out from my father that he did not own a pair of shoes until he went to highschool. To put that in perspective, up till he was about nine or ten, he lived in Orange! It snows there!

Yes I do but you could have used your loaf more efficiently. Not like you at all not to.


Cop this for an idea, Paul. Buckets inside the "house" could also be used to **** in & not bother with the dunnies & the odd crap probably wouldn't be noticed with so much fresh air belting through the gaff.


In my naivety I would hazard a guess that you used my original suggestion previously. Many times. BTW, 2 dunnies in the one house? That has got to be the height of "Look at me, I've arrived at last"

You'd have been more fortunate being built like a Snail. You aren't are you?

But if there was a bucket full of **** in the place,sure as eggs i would get up in the night for a pee and trip fair over it

So maybe out of the two dunnies,hopefully one would work

Nothing much else in the place works,even the power is dodgy,but as you know,a good fridgie can sort out a few things hopefully
