DDancer Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 That is a sweet meteorite!!!! Most I've found are little guys. Whole point of the post is made but then your last comment... well I wont say I'm goading you to go back but. Yeah. ;) Make a plan and do it. Wallet may scream * know every penny I have does... and even better OZ does not use pennies!* but hey the baggage in memories is almost as fun as the doing... and I can tell you some pretty darn miserable times out bush! HAHH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Trent, my friend (mate) Ray Navara lives in Bodalla NSW...if you see him tell him the Ornery Bastard from California said hello. More to the point, love the pictures! Ray told me stories about standing still and watching the leeches coming for him...not my kind of country. hers are a couple pics from the Hillend or Sofala area...

fredmason Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 speaking of Australia's national mascot...this is how I dealt with it and the Huntsman...a giant version of the common jumping spider here in the states 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDancer Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Those green nets are a pain. They catch the light and fog out your vision badly and if your walking back to camp in the avro they are blinding. Black nets are the better bet but can be a bit more difficult to find. However a net is essential to sanity :) Just like the deserts here in america.. and well anyplace else you camp... shake out your boots if left out doors and well... check your seat in the morning. My partner seemed to attract alot of friends. Even had a red back buddying up with him in his bag one morning *no picks of that but you could hear it*. :) Hahh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 just a few more memories.... John and Jenny Fisher in the Northern territory; shorts were Johns usual garb each day. a bilabong near our camp...I always wondered if the saltys had moved in there... A 4-5 foot goanna that came to say goodbye at my motel room door in Darwin...I had a very large green frog in my shower in the same room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know your mate at Bodalla, but do know the area well. I released a series of prospecting maps for around there that took several months of field work. Bloody great fishing there too as well as nice gold! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
