Wayne Kerr Does the Desert

[Wayne Kerr]

^ No worries mate, not sure about this talk of "truth embellishment", in fact I think you'd be more than pleased that I left many of the "details" out. Anyway the highlight for me was being met by Wayne Jnr at the end of the trip and helping him bag his first catch where I think I caught my first fish all them years back .



The funniest bit for me is his "flip flops" up the path ... still finding it hard to get him to wear shoes

^ a puffer ?

[Jock Itch]

This trip was aimed finding the good spots. Next year we are going to do it properly, hopefully over a few months and lots of fishing ... you in or not?

[.

Jeez - that's mighty enticing - Might have to think up a "fisheries related business trip" and fire up the Hilux to meet you for the WA leg of the trip !!

[Jock Itch]

Today, I got hold of some cheap Vannamei cooked prawns for fishing bait (21/30's). I will post the shots of the Bream I catch with them over the backside of the current moon. Have fun in the big smoke. hahahaha. Poor bugger.

HaHa - while you're still allowed to !! - I hear they're cracking down on raw Vannamei because of all the careless rec. fishers risking the spread of disease by using them for bait !! - I look foreward to the pics !! - don't forget your SAMPI bait !!

you need to invest in a proper pair of double pluggers for the poor lad - not those yuppy slippers !!

A mate told me about this thread so I looked it up and loved it. Been to some of those places. Got the fourby and camper stored for future visits. Made me very nostalgic. Have you been to the Flinders Ranges north of Adelaide - I love it there.

[JoGeAr]

Great thread. Brilliant pics.

[Gallowspole]

Awesome.

Brought back so many memories. The smells, the heat, the flies, the snakes, the crocs, the best locals (when not killing backpackers), the outback pubs, the stars, the corrugated roads, the billabongs... I'm going to have to nip down to Udon and grab a VB.

When the kid is 18 (6 more years) I've sworn to take her across Australia before she goes to uni. If she doesn't want to go because her access to MSN will be severely limited, I'll just do it by myself again.

Best thread I have read through. Gret job, Wayne.

Thanks, mate

[Wayne Kerr]

Thanks for the comments chaps. Would kill to be there doing the same thing now .

I'm very, very jealous of Memock having done a similar trip by chopper - https://teakdoor.com/travel-the-world...elicopter.html

Whatever happened to the sat nav charger?

[Wayne Kerr]

Bloody Big Kev had stashed it in his toiletries bag amongst his tooth brush, deodorant and stuff. Found it at the end of the trip when his missus told him his breath stunk worse than a dead wombat when we arrived back. Told me down the pub last Christmas the silly bastard did. Apparently didn't brush his friggin false teeth for the whole trip. Reckoned he was just rinsing them with beer and water .

Took a while to rummage through the pics but one thing I must say is they are absolutely striking/ sharp images, anyway g'day to you all i am still working on navigating this site lookin for recent posts, I am a new member, well done Wayne!

[Nawty]

Very nice photos, brings back fond memories.

[dirtydog]

brings back fond memories of hunting down and killing English backpackers

Bstard....

[MeMock]

Only the ones that deserved it.

[Nawty]

Most...except for 'Helen'....a 20 something backpacker with hoooge hooters I met in Katherine hotsprings and played with her hoooge hooters.

A hint of necrophilia has entered via Mr Nawty's last post !!!

Awesome thread, and sunset pics. I've seen this thread before, but looking again.

The 'camper van' that you can rent looks like a great way to see Australia. I wonder just how safe they are, and how far they can go. I'll check the website out that you posted. I'm hoping to do this trip in the near enough future. Just not sure where I'm going in Australia yet. Any recommendations?

Funny you ask. Was down the beach this morning and of the 6 cars in the car park two of them where these "Wicked Campervan" thingos. Pretty cheap considering you can sleep in the suckers.

My only recommendation would be to head south during summer and north during winter. It is hard to beat north Queensland I reckon. Hope you enjoy the trip .

^Thanks Wayne for the tips.

[Loy Toy]

Wayne this thread should be merged with my Oz versus Brit thread.

Fantastic presentation mate and a great showcase for our homeland!

^ It's a desert LT.

Only thing spectacular about it is the sunrise and sunsets. Dust, dust and more dust.

You guys have obviously never seen a proper glen or the snow on the bens in Autumn.

No offence Wayne, it's a good thread, but it's a desert.

[Bruce]

No offence but you've obviously never seen a desert. Deserts are more interesting than glens, any day.

Utter bollocks.
