10 hours until wheels up for ..... Queensland goldfields...(lol) yeah thats it Queensland or Victoria--not sure which, but i do know thats where the gold is---- laying on the ground in heaps after that last tectonic plate shift !!!! 

I heard rumors of gold squirting up out of the ground and landing like pillow lava.... be sure and get a good ute or you wont be able to carry the nuggets back...

Too bad they also said that tectonic shift causedd a major dip in WA and all the gold there is now 300 met4ers deeper than it was before--

Guess i can get some beach hunting in and then go seemy new fillapina wife if I get bored.... 

May have to hook up with Norvic and DaveW  to get any real gold this year...... 

See ya all around -----?----Cheers you lucky dogs!

Update..... reporting from somewhere 1200meters above the Nullarbor Plain...

100ks of no trees and the largest aquifer in the world is right underneath..

Nullarbor means..null..arbor. ....no..trees

First day in country and a rough one it had already turned out to be...

First of all i didn't lose anything on the way over so that left me with a whole day to kill in Perth, instead of calling baggage handlers as per the normal first days here...

So i started up with a classic Aussie brekkie... 1000 carbs... but delicious!

I do have orders from the Taskmaster to pick up an alternator for my fourby.... at first i couldn't figure out how he knew it was bad since he doesn't drive her..???

Then the answer was there,  clear as a bell.... he'd worn the alternator past it's useful life of service keeping my 2 fridges full of cold beer down to proper temp....?

I see they were warned about giving you sharp tools to eat with...

scrambled egg with one very undone egg and bacon...where's the tomato and beans?

welcome to your adopted home

Crikey, Fred you`ve got me rolling around the floor giggling. Go Paul, go. You`d reckon the Tour OZ Marketing Gurus will sign Paul up as officially adopted once they see those photos, big salary/contract, the works. Knock that other Paul Whatshisname off his perch for sure.

There are two fried eggs and they are cooked...they are just a good orange color because they aren’t mass produced. They come from healthy Aussie chickens.

The tomatoes are under the bacon ?

Fred, I use a spoon all the time camping.. one spoon.,and one bowl..that covers any food. It can be liquid to solid food and I can eat it with a spoon  and bowl. Besides, forks are harder to wash , I always think I have missed some two day old crud between the tines ....whereas with a spoon all you have to do is lick it off swipe it on your shirt and you’re good.

Maybe I should write book on camping hacks ?

Norvic.... I had barramundi last arvo and according to what they charged me for that 4x4 portion....that beauty we caught at the hut should have been a 1000.00 catch!!!!!——and by the way ur bird is a much better cook! ?

And just to fess up —and let everyone know that the world is still in perfect order—I realized yesterday that I had left my mini-iPad back at my apt in LA on the back of the couch....I should have known it would be something?

Nice to know my trip is back to normal......lol

I’m  going to try to board a small plane today for Meekatharra . I have maxed out baggage from the international rules, but I may have some ‘splaining to do when I hand them my carry on handbag that has an added 10kg alternator in it?

Well....man they got a little concerned because my bags were 36kilos overweight for  the puddle jumper from Perth to Meekatharra...but we agreed on paying for 25 kilos and I was happy for that

 

update....got my first pieces today

small stuff but I guess I’ll take it?

On ya, just keep ya eye out for that Rolls Silver 4WD, tis most likely that talent scout not BB in disguise. I woke me bird and told her she`s a bonza cook, I wont repeat what she said, buggered if I know thought she`d appreciate the complement.?

[fredmason]

Nice gold, Paul! a good start!

We all know the truth about some folks and sharp objects...but, it is your story...stick to it!
