Aussie IRON MAN competition
 

Now, who could this fine specimen of the Australian male physique be?
(pic: Mark S who shall remain nameless)

EEK!
 

Quick... get him another slab of beer before he shrivels away to nothing! :D

Rivers around Yass..
 

... are pretty cold, even in Summer. What are the chances he's already shrivelled away to nothing?:eek:

Better watch...
 

...a croc don't sneak up and get some danglies...:eek:

Finest specimen
 

Since I was the finest Aussie physic specimen amongst the fellow blitz high country travellers they all insisted that I go and do a reckie of the area to make sure that it was safe from drop bears, after the all clear the others joined me in a since swim (we've decided to join the icebergers but our fearless leader Mark S only managed to wet as far as his ankles), far too cold for any crocs up there as the drop bears must have got them, and even colder than Yass water.

More pictures to follow of our fearless leader, later on.

Ah! Me eyes!

Now how am I going to make decals.....

Attacking Koalas?
 

Max, for the benefit of our Canuck and other fellow members, can you please clarify the term "drop bears". Does this refer to some sort of attack Koala?

Iron truck
 

And one that's not so iron

This is Robert Henry Farmer being towed by Ashley Francis Wilson after an unfortunate experience involving a rebuilt engine and a fibre timing gear which decided to lose it's teeth on the way to Corowa 2004.

Max was kind enough to loan him Tickets, the C15 which not only completed the journey but also gave it's 4X4 brothers a lesson in how to negotiate steep, rough bush tracks.

Re. Drop Bears
 

Hi Max
You are lucky only having a Drop Bear problem. Down here we also have to contend with Woofle Worms and Swamp Dogs.

Brop Bears
 

l did not see the drop bears on the trip, but l did hear what sounded like them. Our head leader,Russel (Mark S), had a frighting experence with them at the Benambre pub one night. So any questions,on drop bears, you should ask Russel if he can remember.

Drop Bears
 

Our (Canadian) version of this varmint is the snow snake.

"I don't know where you gotta go, but just don't eat the yelllow snow!"

Could this be a drop bear?
 

Drop Bears
 

Look Kieth nice try with the "Photo Trick Shop Software" I dont have a recollection of that photo being taken and I dont drink BEER.

Everyone knows that drop bears are usually found only photographed in the wilds in their underdaks not fully clothed!

Just like your Aussie Iron man taken after an evening with that Canadian Wiskey Stuff.
