Used to make my own bangers with black powder. Feed them lit to the cane toad who will eat anything placed in front of it. They then hop off and expand like a toad fish but are tough enough contain the explosion so no mess. Gather up and dispose of dead toads. Not economic but young enough at the time to be amused. As they died instantly was considered to be human.
We used Dieldren(spelling) on them in my day.Couple of spoonfuls down the nest,and they would never be seen again.It was deadly stuff.Green ant nests got the same treatment.Small nests a teaspoon of the poison was all that was needed.Quote:

I'd live in Whyalla , but swmbo wouldn't.
I'd live in any of the SA coastal towns backlit by the Flinders Ranges.
And then there's the SA deserts , which I love and have many friends living and working there on cattle stations.
Thats why I travel into those areas a couple of times each year.

Oh yes, he's a legend in his own lunchbox. A self proclaimed expert with minimal knowledge.Quote:

They've probably got equal knowledge about four wheel driving generally and Land Rover in particular. [bigwhistle]Quote:

No matter what some has done he has done it bigger & better. No matter where someone has been he has been there & it was better when he was there.
He is also just a little condescending to most people.
Basically an obnoxious, opinionated person who is not very good at his job.
One of the main reasons I have an assistant manger is so I can take time off, during the 2 longer breaks I have had (4.5 weeks & 1.5 weeks) he has called me constantly & 1 time called my Boss to get me back here.
But he is really good at his job, knows it all plus some & has lots of opinions on how to fix all the worlds problems. Pity he can't fix some Roadhouse problems.
Anyway, I consider myself very lucky to have him since anything I am in anyway unsure of he will have the answer, in fact, even if I am sure & have done it a thousand times before he will tell me how to do it.
Just as well I'm a **** listener!
