    G'day fellas and any sheila's reading today . . . .

    Glad to see all the familiar names and faces still around. Just thought I'd pop in and say -- well, g'day (again) and let you know I'm still down here in Oz, a little older, probably not much wiser, granny-in-waiting. No sign, yet, of the next generation, but I have become one of those...

    Aussie Christmas

    G'day from Down Under and Merry Christmas to you all. It's very interesting to read about the cold weather you are experiencing up there at the moment, while we are suffering the other extreme of heat, heat and more heat. In other words, it is very hot and dry here in Queensland, where it is...

    G'day to you all . . .

    I'm still alive but not quite kicking. I seem to have some residual effects from a car accident in '05 which are starting to cause some bother, although it could have been much worse at the time. I can't seem to sit at this keyboard as long as I once did and when I do, I try to write family...

    The Story Of Two Aussie Vietnam Vets Who Are

    Clearing land mines in Cambodia. Just saw a documentary on how they started and was interested to see that Minelab sells them detectors at cost price. They are raising funds to buy more detectors, to give to the people, one by one. Each one has the name of a soldier engraved on it along with...

    Be Careful What You Wish For . .

    As a child, growing up in tropical Brisbane, every home had a 'fruitful' garden. In the farthest corner from the house, was the chook (chicken) pen and it was surrounded by trees of all types. No garden was considered worthy unless it had a few Banana, Custard Apple and Paw-Paw (Pa-pya?)...

    The Outhouse and the DUNNY MEN

    Hi all, it's me again! Growing up in Brisbane in the fifties we only had outhouses, which were commonly known then, by all and sundry, as 'dunnies.' I haven't got a clue how that name evolved but it was probably something uniquely Australian. Even though most of Australia (cities and larger...

    Summer storms.

    Hi everyone, we had a huge storm here yesterday afternoon and another one this evening. Boy, it was wild . . .like ones we used to have 20-25 years ago. The rain was coming in side-ways - hitting the fence and going over the top like a wave. The sky was a sickly greenish yellow before the...

    The Trouble With Keys

    This is about how I spent a day a few years ago. I call it "Bugger," which over here is on a par with 'Sh!t'. The huge plane slowly turned in a half circle to face away from us, as it was towed around by a tractor-like vehicle . While two little voices chorused wistfully,

    Our first detecting trip away from home. PART ONE, TWO AND THREE:thumbup:

    This is a tale about our first BIG trip away on a nugget hunt. After packing and repacking our Camper Trailer for two weeks we finally departed home at 5 am and travelled all day to a town in central Queensland. About 3 pm, we pulled into the home of the owner of the property we had...
