Default Kerang

g'day

just a short update from our outback tour. we are back in civilization in kerang and visited Tim Scriven.

Everything went more or less smooth. Will tell it too you later. Took some wonderful pics.

The Blitz has a broken Valve at the moment. Max and some Canadians with Mark fix it at Tim's place at the moment. See some real time pics.

Default Good you're back in contact

Broken valve eh? How far did you have to travel like that? At least you're in a good place to fix it.

Default Hey all

Well done Chris, I needed an outback fix. Not to mention I was wondering if you'd all fallen into a dis used mine shaft somewhere out there and could no longer transmit.

Great to see you getting up close and personal with the wild life. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that snake in the photo is a Western Tiapan or Fierce Snake.

As you know, all Australian Snakes are perfectly harmless, can be easily handled and make good pets.
