Home sweet home

[chucktx2]

This was my home & all the luxury's I needed to enjoy 6 mo. in W Australia,
$900 US. bought in Perth, I would climb in that little buggy & sleep like
an old hound dog for 12 to 14 hours, I still go out & sleep in my old
pickup when I cant sleep at night at home.I was really mobil for I could
break camp in 3 Minuit's & hopeful be on my way to golden patches.The
only thing that was unnecessary was that toilet seat that I thought was a great
thing at the time, At my age I didn't squat very good & though it would
be a great addition to my home away from home. The mood would hit me in the
morning; by the time I gathered up all the crap ( seat, plastic bag, pick,
paper ) there was all ways something I forgot.It rained the first week I was
there ( N. of Leonora ) & when it rains you stay put. I was not accustom
to my cooking & the mood to dump was more frequent than usually so I had to
bury more of those plastic bags than usual, I noticed there were more Emu's
paying me a visit than usual & when I got to my dump station I saw why, They
had dug up all my bags up & waiting for the new addition.After cleaning
up my mess I broke camp for Eucalyptus & 9 emu's escorting me to Leonora
where I toped off my tank, I lost them & was on my way.
There was an Aborigine camp on the way to Leonora where I had a friend ( Elsey ) that
was as old as me ( 73 ) & would appreciate that toilet seat. I often
wondered what ever happened to that thing. Hanging in some bush in the out
back? I would think.

Gives new meaning to the term "Outback".

chucktx2, I'd be more than happy to go pick your home up for you!
I'll be over there in a day or 3, and more than happy to take good care of her and look after her!
Have you seen the rent prices in Sydney?

Morning chucktx2,
Last year I had the opportunity to spend 3 months in the mountains, just me and my Ford Bronco. At the time I did not realize just how much I enjoyed it and how awesome it was to spend that amount of time "out there". The exploring and detecting were great and now I have a job, sigh, but it pays the bills so I am glad for it especially in this day and age.....63bkpkr

I am not a camper, but the year that I spent in W AUSTRALIA lost & cooking over a open fire made for
some great memories & good gold.

Fantastic finds! That 2100 is a great machine. I've still got mine, but I love the 5000 for the great refinements and extra abilities it has. Thanks for sharing those pictures. What's the story about the old pocket watch?

Once again, many thanks for posting about your adventure.

All the best,

Lanny
