Just the other day I was confronted with a trip to the super market, something I generally rely on the better half to handle. Anyway the gist of this rant was that I indicated that a Tuna mornay would be good for tea.  So up the right isle to the Tuna, 4 or 5 suppliers product on the shelf, so which one, the better half said "Dolphin friendly and Australian" so I look Dolphin friendly Yes big tick but Australian no luck Every brand Product of Thialand, What has happened to this country when we have an abundance of fresh fish and we have to get product packed in Thialand. 

I wonder if one day we will wake up to find we are no longer self sufficient and rely on other countries to feed and cloth us while we sit in the sun on the dole because we have priced ourselves out of the world market.

I believe that the cost of production is bringing this country to its knees.

G'day dishlicker,  When we head away, I usually chuck a block of xxxx canned beer and a few bottles of our favourite wine into the caravan,

We're not great drinkers and we usually find this amount of booze will see us through for about a month while travelling.

"Yep" I just bet you would Baz321,  I'd be more worried about my stock going down, not going off, if you can guess what I mean by that,

that's why I like to bush camp,  way - way out in the bush. LOL   biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Simmo

 I am also looking for the following book. The author's note reads:-

Here's to it....

Here's for it...

Here's to it again....

If you don't do...

You may not live....

To do it again.....

Could be the same book.

All this talk of Drinking and What to get. Think yourself lucky your not in the Territory. First off you gotta show ya Driver's License to the person at the grog shop, stand there while they check you out. Then be told you only allowed one carton of this, you can't buy that until 6pm. and only one of. and No you can't get cask Port here. 

The Boss and I are here in the Territory just mucking around  wink
