    tales of muddies and carnivorous kangaroos

    hi all. did a trip with royslaven down to "the shack" at slipping sands wednesday arvo and stayed till saturday. we were greeted by rhonda (is mine) the kangaroo who made her presence known the whole time. this is one crazy roo. she growls like a dog and eats like one too! not happy with the bread around my rissole she ate the rissole too. i was very wary of her from then on...

    we spent 3 nights at this beautiful place and i couldn't believe the inner luxury of the shack. hot showers, cold beer and digital television....

    we didn't do too well on the muddies with only 6 keepers between us and me down one crab pot. nonetheless we had a great time and roy managed to catch up on some z's.
    every morning i would put the coffee on at 4.30 to 5 and roy would complain it was still "the middle of the night". 2 of the 3 mornings he just went back to bed after coffee and got some more z's while i did the crab pot thing and some very uneventful fishing.

    here's a few pics of the shack and some of the local residents:

    A slice of heaven Netty. Nice one.

    The picture doesn't prove you were there.... it's an imposter in a boring shirt.

    Oh crap. My bad.

    The shirt is very nice.

    It just pales a bit in comparison to your standard fish trophy shirts. You know the ones.... the shirts that are so lairy you forget to look at the fish.

    sorry macca. i have been sworn to secrecy on fear of becoming roo food. there are a few shacks on straddies west. i believe cleveland rsl owns 1 and that is about all i can tell you other than a bloke called mick runs the 1 that i stayed in. royslaven may enlighten you further. i know i asked him but may have lost the answer somewhere in the beer.

    Well Dave, thanks for posting the nice pics ,and thanks for the company, and thanks for nursemaiding the ( politically incorrect word) starts with cr and ends with ipple, and yesyou would thinks that someone who spent that much time in bed would be beautiful, but sadly that has not been the case with me.
    Sadly I cannot say who has the shack, as I would have to kill myself, just that it is a privilege to be involved,cheers, roy.

    PS Rhonda is mine... not yours... ha ha
