Re: Home amongst the gum trees!

I know what you're saying bret! Even if it was 60 years ago! They told us we could sell roo meat to a refrigerated truck that would turn up at the spot in Queensland on a certain day. We sat there for 3 days in 35ºC heat and eventually left the whole stinking mess behind a tree!

Never mind! We got a job harvesting Broom Millet! The 3 of us got £75 for nearly 3 months work so £25 each! But it was character building!

These bloody things were all over the place! Give us Kiwis an earthquake or volcanic eruption but don't let us near snakes and other bitey things!
