Haha. Yep. I downsized a about 4 or 5 years from a 21 foot Seafarer cabin cruiser. Excellent move for lure fishing to go to a 4.5m side console. Fat little vessel too. Crazy that a power boat licence allows (used to anyway...not sure now) the holder to skipper up to a 122 feet (approx) powered vessel. How is the motor work going Tins? Cheers

Ha! Nobody told me II would be clearing the whole yard before I could get to it. Currently item #117 on the to do list.

One thing I'll say; took a Cruiser tray load to the tip today. Where I live it would have been $125, even though it wasn't full. Here, zip.

I noticed that as well,a load to the local dump,van completely full $12.00.

Down in NSW,any change out of $150.00 would have been a surprise.

Had to take a small amount of asbestos down to the dump in NSW,all bagged properly,Bla,Bla,that cost two arms and a leg.

Should have done what everyone else does and dropped the bags in the wheely bin.

EDIT,In NSW,i remember taking a trailer load of scrap steel,roof sheets,rolla door,etc,then had to pay to put it in their scrap steel bin.
I would have been better off giving it to the guy at the local scrap place.

Here any scrap,steel,cardboard,etc is free to drop off.

Parochial comments welcome regardless of how hollow from the southerners.

Not me it ain't. Still ****ing cold here usually out of bed these days at about 10 or even 11 (retired you see & not a lazy arse)
I know, I know, I'll be shouting the odds soon because it has the audacity to get to 25c.

Global Warming? Wot Global Warming?

One thing though. Coming from Melbourne I find that the tap water here is nigh undrinkable. Not as bad as it used to be in Somerset Dam, where the lazy council worker used to pop up to the local treatment plant and dump in a bag of stuff every month or so, but still bloody awful. First thing I did when I got here was get a new cartridge for the water filter… well, almost the first thing.
