The old adage “Take only Photos, Leave only footprints” has not been drummed into kids these days.

If the tent came back missing a single peg, we would get a hiding.

If our campsite has anything but leaves and twigs after we left, we would be sent back the next weekend to do an Emu bob.

We also cleaned up after each other because of the story about Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody.

I feel really old!

The equivalent tent nowadays would be $600-$1200

The bottom end is taken over by crap that I wouldn’t let my dog sleep in and the top end are for prosumer/competitive cross country hikers.

Mid range pricing is either cheap crap (rebranded by scammers) or last years model or expensive product.

This relates to camping equipment and also hardware and electronics.

The worse thing* is that now they will all be known as “Australian-style”.

We used to be known for our electoral system and a variation of the butterfly swimming stroke. Now we will be known for a lame-arse attempt to restrict people’s access to content “for the children”*

*this is not actually the worse thing about this legislation; it actually puts at-risk children at more risk.

With the number of people who use their phone on the toilet: they should start calling them PhoneRooms!

And they call them “Bathrooms”!?

I wouldn’t want to take a bath with that sort of compromised privacy!

Mission Failed Successfully.

They were sent in to “Move Fast and Break Things”. (AKA ruin everything). They did succeed this goal.

Sorry mate, your Astroturf is not going to grow, no matter how much bullshit spread.

Who knows the second verse of the national anthem?

(I do) “with boundless plains to share”.

What is a “Encrypted Communication Device”?

It’s great to see these people caught, but are normal plebs going to be arrested for having Signal on their phone or with a Meshtastic/Meshiliscious device?

What about a Cyberdeck running Linux?

It was a meme that the majority of incidents in DCAU were Rangers; to the point that when the Range Danger special was released, I know a few people who through it was just another episode.

DCAU is a great resource for learner drivers, to discuss and debate who is primarily at fault and who else contributed to the incident be being an arsehole.

What have you done with the extra MRR?

 

After a “mud incident”, I need to re-grease one of my seat tracks.

Any idea which lubricant would be best for this? It is a toss-up between lithium grease or silicon spray.

Considering that the VIN number needs to be inspected and verified for each vehicle during the entire Import/Compliance/Distribution/Delivery process, this is a pretty big balls-up.

 

Apparently, 90% of caravans are overloaded in QLD.

New Caravan owners also don’t know how to tow.

 

What are peoples’ opinions of the new Victorian distracted driving rules?

My interpretation is that they are more lenient than the previous rules in some ways but much more onerous in others.

 

Mueller River Campground has 5 vehicle-accessible sites, 3 pedestrian-access sites. Each site has access to the inlet beach for canoeing, fishing and swimming.

The nearby Thurra River Campground is not currently accessible due to fires and floods taking out the bridge.
