Whenever I hear about these massive floods, or disastrous fires I always wonder if any restored or restorable vehicles are lost.
Unfortunately news of the massive fires in Oz in the past few years is not widely broadcast in Canada, probably even less so in the US? ya know- a few years ago I would be more interested in the finishing school for young ladies, but now id be more interested in the old whiskey PS- Rob...did you try the passion fruit...man I looooooove that stuff but cant afford it here.

Yes a number of restored WWII vehicles were lost in the recent Winmalee (Blue Mountains) bushfires. Second time the owner has lost vehicles in fires.
Another Vietnam vet lost a captured NVA AK47, I believe from the Long Tan battle.

I can't believe how nonchalant Keith is about stepping on a snake.
 It takes a better man than me to still be staying in the same house. Janet gave me the heads up about a harmless garter snake she spotted going into a brush pile that I had just made. It's been three years and I still haven't gone near that pile.Hats off to the Aussies. Cheers, Barry

They keep down the mice numbers and being territorial seem to keep the tiger snakes in the creek away from the sheds. When we take a bale of hay off a pile, you sometimes find a joe black sleeping, so you put the bale back down and pick up the next one. Much rather be bitten by a black than a tiger or brown. (Nasty pieces of work those browns.)

On the weather network the other day they had to come up with a new colour on their maps for the above 50 C temps just for Australia.
I'll take the frozen tundra over that.

Sitting in the 40+ degrees again here today. Geelong to our east last night copped a 30 minute bucketing (rain) at about 11pm but all we got was the edge of the storm which had no rain but lightning giving us 3 spotfires in inverleigh. All dealt with terrificly by the CFA.
Dry again today with another storm passing to our north, some thunder.
