Hey BITB - good picture of a great vehicle. What bridge???? Grin

I have a ZJ Grand and a 1983 Cherokee Sport whilst SWMBO has a XJ Limited.

Up in the High Country in the Grant Historic area just up from Dargo.

Enjoy.

My mother-in-law fell down a wishing well, I was amazed. I never knew they worked.

The bridge is a very wonky job out at Lake Jasper in the Southwest. You know the type, where every board flicks & jabbers a tattoo of the depths below (or is it the Yowie who lives underneath having a bit of sport?) ... and you just know you don't want to linger longer than you must. Unless you want a photo to prove how dumb it is to park on top of a Yowie!!

Crikey, this site is infecting me already!

She's a KJ Limited ...

*cheers*

Hey BIB!

Your use of the vernacular is to be admired.

I guess you create word strings as a hobby - yes? Cool

I love small, furry, defenseless little animals - especially in gravy!!!

Welcome Claire, you will find they are a hard lot to keep in line. Just check out the jokes, so sexist.

Most of us have a great time in here and lots of friendships in the making, hope you find it the same.

We had to go across a wonky bridge in 4WD training and I am afraid I flunked both the driving and the directing Cheesy

. The only time we ever had to balance on beams the MOTH was directed by a man and the one board the RTA had placed broke and the Troopy dropped into the ditch and as I jumped out the car there was a large black snake in the grass. A pull from the ditch digger and all was well. The Troopy has gone to a better home.

Youll fit in just fine Claire.

Welcome to the nuthouse.

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

Love it Carolyn!!! Chalk up one for survival.

Want to hear my black snake story? Not as funny as yours but in brief:

SCENE: Out along the Macquarie River, near the old town of Hill End, down by the meandering waters.

TIME: Black of night. Circa 1980

ACTIVITY: Pulling late to a picturesque & familiar camp spot, erecting tent and getting a few lungsful of a noxious odour. Set up bedding, opened storm flaps and nearly gagged. Did the only thing we could do ... cracked a tinny, picked up a torch each and went to investigate. Found nothing on the ground anywhere.

TIME: Sparrows

ACTIVITY: Getting out of bed from a nauseous & sleepless night; walking outside to look again for offending stench so it can be buried or we pack up & move. Walk around back of tent ...

OUTCOME: Nailed to the tree we'd set up under, right outside window ... yep, a black snake! It'd been there a while Wink

MESSAGE: Farmers warn travellers it's black snake season & they are found HERE. Shocked

We moved.
