the Borumba bash 5th 6th 7th march 2010.

[TonyM]

Deano and others. Mark & I will be up there sometime tomorrow afternoon, so will take control of the covered BBQ if it is available by setting up Mark's BIG white tent next to it. Unless it is pouring, we will be up the back with the hill billies, dingoes. deers, squealing pigs and weird birds, so will be back late morning Friday. Deano, if you want, we can help you with tarps and move Mark's big white tent, etc around lunchtime Friday.

Cheers
Team Legless and Fishless

Love your work Steve

If you like I'll sleep in Marks tent tommorow night to keep it safe (and save me setting up camp so I can go for a fish)

That is unless you and Mark are in it! (you guys cut too much timber for my liking)

Cya soon

Cheers
Tony

I’ve have heard people say that generation y are soft, that they wouldn’t know hard work if they tripped over it.

To prove that's on the money....
Jeremy and i have decided to shoulder arms at this trip.

However Sarah and i have decided that we’ll go for a wake board instead...is there much room in the main basin for waterskiing. ???

JIM

Bugger all room for wake boarding etc. only a small basin, in fact wake boarding and sking etc. is not encouraged at all at Borumba.

(not when we are fishin!)

FRIDAY

[Apollo]

Went out yesterday to do some adjustment to the handbrake of the old farm ute so it doesn't slide into the dam at Borumba and bugger me the back brakes don't work at all. The old ute is a spare vehicle and spends most of its life running around the farm and small trips into town or to the boat ramp (when the wife is using the wagon) - all open country running. It can sit for several months without getting used, so I guess the brake pistons seized (drum brakes on the rear). Last night became a session of pulling brakes aparts to free them up. Think it is right now, with only a little bit to finish up this morning, then finally get to adjust the handbrake. Still need to pack the boat and ute, but getting excited.

Good news is that the Gympie didn't end up with much rain yesterday/last night, so hopefully the valley didn't either (poured here). Other good news is that the barometer is on the rise again 1016 from 1008 a couple of days ago.

[roydsy]

Sounds good mate, not sure how long it will take me to get from Hervey Bay, I am guessing 2.5hrs as it take me an hour half to gympie with the stupid 90k zones... so the plan is leave some time between 2-3am.

Yes i will bring the calcutta light Steve!

Perfect time for a wake up Roydsy!! I will need that rod then!!,,, I aim to have a some quailty togas swinging off it within the hour!!!!

See ya sat morning!!

Jim

Bring the jet ski and the wake boards. A few of the boys that live in the hills up there run a comp every weekend. 5 points for jet ski, 10 points for a pond lice driver and 15 for a skier/wankerboarder. Bonus points for a clean head shot or use of a crossbow. 0 points for a fisher, unless they are landing a catfish, then it is -1 .

So what are ya doing on the computer, get back to work!!!!!!!!

[Apollo]

One more thing. Watch the newly introduced 90km zones on the Bruce, either side of Gympie. There has been plenty of revenue raising going on there and I spotted 4 (marked, unmarked, mobile and camera) yesterday.

Take care and everyone drive safe. See you on the water or in camp.
