Sagging Superstructures

My first love is bushwalking! And I’ve been privileged to traverse many wild,

Good yarn Manfred, - I reckon it's carrying round all that tucker that's wearing you out.

My bushwalking survival kit consists of a bottle of Bundy and a couple of cans of sardines, occasionally supplemented by ...... cant tell you, - not supposed the eat the wildlife these days. :D

Hi Manfred,
I agree a very good yarn.
If we should ever happen to meet up on a track somewhere I hope it's around lunch time mate.

Sounds like if it's Henry I happen to run into I'll have to run my own roo down, mind you I usually carry a can of coke.

At least when you've transferred it from your pack to your stomach you've lowered your centre of gravity a bit...

Goodonya Mannie.

I’ve said it before if ya gunna go camping ya gotta do with style.

Some Smirnoff a little to rub on ya feet at night and a lot to rub on ya tongue.

Blue cheese n bickies, anchovy stuffed olives a few pickled mussels at sundown
how could ya not like roughing it out the bush.
