We'll give you Ceduna for Miami.


No we bloody well won't, you damn' ex-Sydney rat parasitising the
poor green Tasmanian innocents.

*Smirk*. Thank you for your tax dollars supporting my lifestyle. Oh
wait, you're in SA, another parasite on the body politic.........

Ssssshhhhhhhhh! someone might hear!!!!!

Might offer Marla Bore roadhouse, though.

It's *that* bad?

Indeed.

I have un-fond memories of Ceduna & Thevenard. Of course it might have
something to do with spending 4 weeks in the Bight and one day ashore,
getting tossed out of the pub well after closing by the local coppers
and then finishing off with Bundyback aboard ship. We left one of the
trawl doors behind off the pier - skipper was a bit under the weather,
too.

Haven't been to Ceduna since my National Parks days, lo these
many years ago. Even then my chief memory, apart from the
abusefest we flew in for, was of a grass airstrip laden with
cattle who's been buzzed so many times before they'd only move
off if the plane went over less than 10 feet above them. Oh, and
the fact that the strip was on a slant and kept falling away as
the pilot tried to put the plane down.



You'll be pleased to know that the CCA treated pine gunwhales are
working out just fine. All in all it would have been faster to build a
new daysiler but I knew that before I started.

I have a good daysailer plan available you could build in your
spare moments.


Seen Jeff Gilbert's Cataphylla design? Put it on your project list for
the future. Jeff's got sufficient sense to move to Tasmania too.

No, haven't...I'm outta touch and likely to remain so for a few
months yet (until work does its inevitable cyclic dryup.)

BTW...Bundyback? you should have known better than to be
entertained by the local ladies while on the rum...
