[Davo_Dinkum]

i think between all of us we will have heaps of gear rob .

look at the pin trip there was extra gear there.

[noname]

[Davo_Dinkum]

i got 5 or 6 opera house pots.

so they will go down nicely

i got a big tarp its 30 x 18 foot,mite make a good center/communal area .

[noname]

I WILL HAVE A FEW POTS TOO DAVO, ooops

they are there for the taking. but within reason. make sure they have plenty of rope on em and tie em to the floats well, not like brad did. LMAO. it's not 'brad, the bungs in' anymore, :laugh: it's 'brad you tied the floats tight' hahahahaaha

[tugger]

you probably don't need a huge tarp just 1 to go off the side that lets the arvo sun under this shelter and theres a 2nd 1 of these shelters on our other site .i was going to bring my bbq which is all plate no grill ,gas light ,tarp for the dam ,skis ,tube ,redclaw traps and morepiss
