We passed through the upper Hunter Valley, around Musswellbrook and Singleton recently. The New England Highway cuts very close to some huge open cut mine, almost up to the highway, with huge mountains of grey waste rock/soil and deep excavations down to the coal layers. Don't get me wrong, I grew up...

Not as cheap as the gravity light, but I thought that this was a very neat stove, not only does it boil 1 litre of water in 4 minutes, using only twigs, but also charges all those must have devices, while you wait for your meal to be cooked. http://biolitestove.com/ Cheers David

Just received an email from a friend with an article on keeping biting insects away, so simple they say to spray LISTERINE around ground, chairs & tables, I haven't tried it yet but going to have a go. Has anyone ever heard of this? I am lunch for all things that bite so heres hoping it works.
