Hi all,

This site must be the best kept secret on the net ... but it won't be now that I've found it ... LOL.

As a quick intro, I wave the West Oz flag and enjoy trekking out into this beautiful State as often as possible. I drive a Jeep and drag around a camper trailer packed to the gills with more camp stuff than a girl should have (I swear I'll never step into a camping store again!!) and of course, the CO. Mine is actually the spun steel variety (Hill Billy) but I love it as much as any cast iron treasure.

I can tell I'll be posting the odd recipe and soaking up the tips ... thanks for a brilliant site!

Helloooooooooooooooo the west.

Welcome Claire. It really isn't that hidden and if you have friends, lots of them, then send them to this site.

It has a mountain of information and wisdom on it and I know I learn all the time.

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.

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 ...

Hey BIB!

Your use of the vernacular is to be admired.

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

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

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.

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

Wink

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

Shocked

We moved.
