Thread: Where the bloody hell are ya?

I reckon those fellas in the clip wouldn't even have a pet shop there Bazz. That's gotta be Eveleigh St. Redfern.
Used to hear that track all the time on Koori radio a few years back. True Aussie Hip-Hop.

A shotty would do too much damage if I have to shoot inside the house...Snakes have been known to come in for lunch out there. Rat shot will be less harmful to the floor, since I'll be back-pedalling from the buggers and hopefully they'll do the same for me.

P.S. Depends how close to the NSW border you are Bazz, you might come across a Carpet Python.

Just loaded a few BP shotty catridges for the ancient damascus barreled Hollis, with 2 1/2 Drs of 2F with ounce and a 1/4 no 4 's/ We get the odd tiger about the place, don't reckon he will be much good to eat after the Hollis has had at him !! Bugger the floors !!

Yeh thats Redfern already. I made a bad turn one time when I was living in Sydney.

I'm inclined to agree with ya heeleru, but I have to work in with other members of the family who don't appreciate gaping holes and ragged splinters in the timber floor.
We spotted either a big Mulga or an average Taipan snake by the size, 2.5-3 metres, going into the back of one of the sheds the other day. Don't know where he had got too, but since we had to get some gear from there, we were keeping a bloody close eye out for him. He was probably under a stack of fencing rails that lives in that shed.

We run horses not cross bred Mules...Oh you mean kiss my arse goodbye... Yes well I'm keeping a bloody close eye out for him when I'm out there and now I've got the old rifle sorted out into a snake gun until we get a shotty for the outside areas, I'll be keepin' it handy.


Mick

PS no Pythons in Gippsland just copperheads, eastern small eyed snakes, eastern tiger snakes, red bellied blacks and brown snakes. Just to name some of the danerous ones...

lol....yes ya arse

What horses do you run Mick? Campdrafters? I will be looking for another roping horse in the next year or so/

Cheers

Here's the link to the website. You'd be dealing with my parents...I'm just un-paid hired help when I'm out there.

Wilga Park Morgans

They'll do a bloody good job as a campdrafter, but you may prefer another breed. Everyone has their own ideas of good horseflesh, the Morgan is ours.

Although I, personally, like the Waler breed too, they're just about extinct though, I think. At least, I don't know if the gene pool is large enough, to bring them back from the brink.


Mick

P.S I grew up with Quarter horses, and you could add them to my list of good horseflesh too... Ah, bugger it. I just love horses.

Just some useless FYI. I used to get riding lessons from a guy who used to own one of the white Arabians (Hammed was his name, the horse ie) in the Estapol ads. There were a few over the years but he owned one of them. He was a mad keen Western rider & used to enter a lot of reining events in the 80's to p!ss of all the guys with their quarter horses. In his retirement the horse got bit by a snake & died. Damn shame as he was a pushbutton ride.
