> [@kambuckta](#): > > Refilling their water, I tipped the old stuff over the passionfruit vine to give \*it \*a drink and the old boilers went troppo. Why on earth would they prefer water mixed with mud and chook-shit over the sweet stuff that comes out of the tank? 😕 Stone the bloody crows, is not female pis-cyco-gology a bloody universal constant? The bloke keeps his shed clean and shiny as a button. All the tools on the masonite and matching the outline. No dirt on the moleskins, no grease on the stubbies and yet the trouble & strife will nag him shitless about tidying up the mess. Must says that somewhere in the CWA manual. But try and get them to clean-up their own wardrobe filled clobber and caboodle that hasn’t been worn since you got hitched and didn’t fit even then and up goes the Great Wall of No. For Gawsakes. No, that can’t be your mothers favourite crochet bikini, it’s got the bloody price tag showing where your grannie bought it. CHUCK THE BLOODY THING OUT OR THE SHED STAYS AS IT IS. Why wouldn’t ya bloody chooks think like you do? Anyhow, ya tanks probably got a dead possum in it anyway. ---

Missed the edit window :smack: Anyway, I’m gunna piss off over to Yackandandah over the weegend to hang out with me’ mate Wayne. He used to be a truckie, mostly the Melbin to Brissie run, so he knows some good little spots along the way. Wayne’s got the Jimmy Dancer now, too many Winnie Blues over the years. But he’s still a good bloke for a yarn. I don’t want to rough it _tooooo_ much. Things like a dunny would be nice, and I always like to camp near a creek if I can. Gotta be careful camping in the bush though…this time of year is better for the Joe Blakes of course, but there’s still drop bears out there. Little fuckers don’t hibernate, do they? Wayne told me a story once of some mad buggers he ran across in Coonabarabran. Bunch of Pommies in a Kombi who’d pulled off the road and camped under a huge old Manna Gum. He wandered over to warn them about the dangers, but the Poms thought he was taking the piss and all. No matter how much he tried, the crazy bastards wouldn’t listen so he told 'em to get fucked and went back to his rig. Just as he was climbing up into the cabin, he heard a blood-curdling scream from their campsite…even now when he tells that story he can’t help pissing himself larfing. Yeah, I’m gonna miss Wayne when he goes. Who am I gonna bot fags off’ve then?? ---

The great outdoors … humping ya bluey in the V8 with great big bloodstained roo bars. As HG Nelson would say, how far can you bloody go wrong if you got petrol, bait, ammo & ice? Merkins call it survivor, we call it camping. ---

An anachronism anyway. > [@](#): > > **Eugene Gorman Q.C. 1960.** > _“Wowser” is a simple, satisfying, succinct, single word which aptly distinguishes the whole race of windy, watery, cantankerous, snuffling Chadbands, Stiggingses, Holy Joes and Scripture spouting sneaks, hypocritical humbugs, and unctous, dirty minded rotters, who spend their time interfering with the healthy instincts and recreations of healthy-minded, honest humanity._ ---
