Well AustPost (the bustards) ruined my whinge, yesterday before lunch the parcel bloke turns up with parcels 2 and 3, I said to Ole Mate where's #4, about 1330 he turns back up with it, the express post truck which comes to town about lunch time had it, he knew I was waiting so rolled back over to drop it off, nice fella so thinking I'm on a roll here I ring up the shop in Gympville, the post from Adelaide has arrived, chasing this part for 3 mths, numerous emails and phone calls badgering this supplier, so a quick run to the smoke, all is well with the world until this morning but thats another story.............
Sydney to North of Brisbane in 3 days, unheard of................... just something from Brissie can take a week and a half.
I slept in basically a site shed with air cond and a bed in Kakadu years ago.
Beats a tent anyday.............................................. Because I got to the base early my oppo and I got a cabin in the old construction camp at Katherine, 2 beds, AC and a Fridge with a porch, shear bliss, the later arrivals had 10 man tents, blow thru Air and a wet towel, best 3 month bivvy I ever did........................some people pay a squillion to live it......... didn't even have to cook.
i would think that if the both are extended it should be ok .
i used the same one from my expanda to the silverline
Still quicker than Aus Post i reckon. I used to buy ice hockey gear from the states and canada, and it'd get to Darwin faster than an express parcel from Melbourne would.
Think its a bit slower with this Covid, only Fed Ex available, I think it left for Hawaii last night...so maybe next Wed.....
Darwin and Ice Hockey ????????????????????????????????????
Haha, yeah you wouldn't think it huh.
Guy opened a rink 2 years ago around the corner from the airport, nothing huge, it's half the size of a normal ice rink. But we got 4 senior teams off the ground, juniors as well. I started and ran the original association before handing over the reigns a year ago. Heaps of ex-pats in town who play so it's an awesome social sport now. Even had a local team travel to Adelaide this year and win the C grade in the Adelaide challenge cup.
Thats something else @AussieNick certainly not the Darwin I knew, well I was last there in '92 and was gob smacked from the changes I saw since the '70s.........
I was wrong about the post, Fed Ex sings from the same book as Aust Post, 3 days it took for myparcel to travel 700 miles and yesterday it was sitting 20 miles from where it started went from LA to San Francisco then back to LA, always used USPS before, 3 days it would be in Brisbane............ oh well its fun to look at the tracker.

The Skipper needs a good pew...................................... those up forward are for when I'm locked in fighting to land the latest Monster Toad or barnacle encrusted branch, sometimes a slippery, scaly thing may get tangled on the hook as well..........................................

Oh man, the changes since then, you wouldn't recognise the place now.
Damned glad to be back in the sunshine state tomorrow afternoon. Raining all day here in Sydney. This is a great place to come home from.
