Hi PD... you can use the northern hairy nose wombat, but experience has shown me that because the more common southern tablelands wombat lives in a colder climat hence it has a bigger fat content.

I forgot to add that wombat fat is so useful. It can be used to make soaps and is much better then candles. An old bush trick is to fill a cup with it, with a string to the bottom and light it...it burns clean and throws a much better light then a candle.

I haven't tried jugged wallaby though have eaten kangaroo tail soup...as to feral pigs... if you can get a piglet there is nothing better. Depending on the climate the australian feral pig normally doesnt have much problems with worms..though like all game animals it does pay to cook it right through.

Yep, it's a ripper thread alright

For those who have never seen this thread, grab a glass of something and take some time out to read right through it. 

Do you know I still enjoy reading through here.

Yes Derek, and so do i too 
Just realised that 14 years ago, Furphyslinger started that thread on my 69th. birthday......how the time has flown.

Very happy Kev., that you also enjoyed the read. I do miss the interesting yarns that used to develop, maybe the short facebook type responses have much to do with it.
One big advantage of a COG is the sitting around the fire letting the port and yarns flow.
To paraphrase the Cadbury ad. "there's a bloody good yarn in everyone"
