Believe it or not my uncle use to work at the advertiser many many moons ago. As a very young lad he gave me a tour of the place. I took heaps of souvenirs whilst I was there and actually was given the original black and white photos that were taken of the barges being sunk, by the photographer himself! These weren’t copies, or re-prints, but the original photos, all of about A4 size. I kept them for many years but have no idea where they ended up. I think the barges were sunk in the 50's, but the photographer just happened to be cleaning up his work area of thousands of photo’s and p

Did he also tell you he was nearly launched over the front of the windscreen? We came off the top of a roller and in the corner of my eye I just remember seeing Ale's feet eye level, then I turned around to see him laying on the floor in the back of the boat....strange place to hang out in the middle of a storm I thought . He reckons he lost his footing but I reckon it may have had more to do with the copious amount of alcholic beverages consumed prior to the storm :whistle: Yep, you've got it in one . When the lights of Adelaide disappear behind the rain and waves, and the sun is se

We were sitting in the middle of the gulf Saturday evening when we were hit by the storm / squall that some experienced over north of Adelaide. It was seriously amazing, and scary how quickly it went from a balmy evening blowing 10-15knots with 0.5m seas, to heavy pouring rain, darkness, thunder & lightning, 30-40knot howling winds and seas easily 2.5m. No exageration it changed within 10 minutes and we had just enough time to put away the bait, rods, sort the boat out and pull the anchor up before we were having waves crash over the top of us.My boat is a reasonably modern 6.5m fibergla

Hey fella,Have you thought about a two man fiberglass canoe? Or are you dead keen on a plastic kayak? I recently picked up a two man fiberglass canoe from gumtree, $270 with two sets of paddles. This one is 3.5m long, flat bottom and nice and wide in the middle, so nice and stable. It's easily carried by two people on and off the roof racks and to the waters edge. I've recently pimped it out by adding an outrigger (for increased stability), some high back seats and some rod holders. It may not look as cool as a new kayak, but it's cost me all up less than $400, and I'm sure the fish won'

Sounds like a good idea, but there is a reason why most people mount their batteries outside the vehicle cabin, and that's because of the gases that get produced from wet cell batteries. Some deep cycle batteries (like AGM's) don't produce gas so would be fine inside a vehicle. If you go down this path just make sure you have the appropriate battery type. On another forum a fella detailed how he spent a few days in hospital with chemical burns to his osophagus and lungs from the fumes that he inhaled whilst driving from his cabin mounted batteries. It's definately something to be aware of.

If it's 1999 Pajero it would make it an NL Pajero. I'm pretty sure they only came out with the 3.5 litre V6, not the 3.0 litre. The previous model had a choice of either 3.0 or 3.5 litre engine. So as others have suggested, just confirm you have the model or engine size correct.If it's an NL Pajero from all accounts they are a pretty solid vehicle. I'm a member of the Pajero forum and the NL Pajero have a pretty strong following. A lot of guys prefer them over the later model NM Pajeros.With a budget of $10K most of the 4wd vehicles you're going to be looking at will have travelled at lea

Thanks Ranger. It's easy for eveyone to nominate "their" vehicle as the best, but what is best for one person, may not be best for the next. Hence why the original poster probably needs to answer some of these questions, if he hasn't already. We clearly have similar tastes and requirements! I have an NP Exceed diesel - and I love it. Electric everything, super comfy, reliable and economical. Tows my 21ft boat with ease. Great tourer too and doesn't shame itself offroad either. Mines had a 2 inch lift, airbags for towing, all terrain tyres, exhaust mod and runs LPG. With the LPG I'm gett

Everyone's going to have their own preferences depending on what they currently own, or have owned previously....If you can be a little more specific on what you're after, it may help narrow down the choices. Are you after petrol, diesel, duel fuel or don't care? Where are you planning on taking the fourby - gravel tracks, beachwork or hard core offroad? How often are you planning on taking it offroad - weekly, monthly or once a year? What sort of gear will you intend to carry - a few rods and a tackle box, or tents, portable fridges and camping gear? Are you planning on towing with the ve

Timely warning....http://www.ministers.sa.gov.au/news-release-archive/hon-gail-gago-mlc/jetty-fishers-reminded-of-responsibilities.html shark_fishing.pdf

This is a ticking time bomb.Whether what has been portrayed in the media is a a fair account or not, a perception is being formed, and formed quickly.You think there is heat on you guys now for land based shark fishing?..... god forbid should someone be killed or attacked by a shark somewhere along our coast..... think about the hackles that will raise, considering it's already being negatively portrayed in the media and I think you will find this issue will escalate quick smart - for the worse.Don't take this post the wrong way fellas, I'm not against shark fishing and an avid fisherman mysel

Here's one of many we caught out of Rocky Island.

My mate who caught it had never really fished before... beginners luck I guess. He still ate it and he reckons it tasted fine.... not that he would know what a good or bad fish taste like!

If you're still not convinced of it's size, here's how it sat in a 60 litre esky

Here's a better comparison of how big it was. Whiting on the left was around 34cm. Look at the difference in thickness!

Here's a KGW caught off my boat at the beginning of the year by a mate. Went an easy 61cm and if I recall correctly was around the 1.5kg mark. We were fishing for snapper and it swallowed a 6/0 loaded with half a squid head. This whiting was a monster!

Yes mate, I was (I can't type very fast).ApologiesSean

It was likely the person you were thinking of...Optimaxworld stated (numerous times I might add), that he wasn't running a charter service, and that he was looking for 4 or 5 blokes to join him fishing on a regular basis. He made it very clear that he wasn't interested in taking a different group every month. He also made it clear that the rough price of $300 was to cover running and ongoing maintenance costs. In return you would likely have the opportunity to go fishing monthly, in an awesome boat, to awesome locations, catching monster fish with opti, who seems like a nice guy.It was clea
