G'day form the land down under

So i have been recently reading a lot of the post on this site and well lets be honest like most of the people on this site i have become hooked! There is a lot of great information along with a bit of what I thought rubbish and conspiracy that i could of never dream up in my wildest dreams. But it has got me thinking more for myself. So I am from a small country town that well its small ok! closest shops are about 90kms away, so i find some of the survival/preper things pretty funny that I have read. anyways looking forward to contributing towards much needed information.

well at least there is a lot of water in between him and us and a lot of red dirt behind our backs to run 2.

a reply to: bally001

What do you class as a small town out of curiosity?

a reply to: CaptiNimble

Bout 200 - farming - and perhaps getting smaller. But I guess from your question you may come from a smaller locale. I'm closer to a larger centre though. Have lived in central Aus NT where there is basically nothing.

Kind Regards,

well yea my partner and i do a lot of remote touring in our 4x4 gone past towns that have only a couple of houses. got any fishing spots for me in the NT? heading that way in a couple of moths.

a reply to: CaptiNimble

Well, ditch the moths and perhaps catch up with Barra on the Daly or the Alligator rivers. Corroboree Billabong is also good for a visit. You can hire boats there.

True love and I usually took the tinlids to Gunn Point out from Palmerston for a long weekend. Camp right on the beach, secluded with a few little creeks to flick lures about and chuck in a few crab pots. Always got a feed.

By the way, I left the Territory late in 13 and now live on the north coast of NSW where I found new fishing grounds. Enjoy the NT. Visit Litchfield, you won't be dissapointed.

Regards,

Bally

G'day mate from SA.

There are a few of us here. Join in. Have fun.

But don't take everything too seriously.

A great deal of good stuff and an equal amount of kanga poo.

G'day fellow Aussie!

Welcome to ATS, there are plenty of us fellow Aussies floating around, one day we shall take over the world!

Would you really like to overtake the world? seems like a lot of responsibility! but i could see its other benefits...

a reply to: CaptiNimble

Crikey mate, you're well travelled. My favourite fishing spots were up from Ramingining to MIllingimbi and around the islands but very hard to get to without a permit. Roads are rough but the fishing was worth it.

Elcho and Bathurst were other great spots as was puttin in from Dundee. Boats a must.

Cheers.

a reply to: bally001

yea we travel with 3.9m tinnie on the roof on the old patrol, not wrong a boat is a must, those lizards test my nerve especially in remote areas were that not use to boats! we had a couple on keep river attack the tinnie twice! Gosh i find it hard to get permission from local Tradition owners, usually have to end up bypassing them and getting permission from the local cops instead. I really dislike that we in Australia have two different laws for its same people. i will have to do some homework on "Ramingining to MIllingimbi and around the islands".

Welcome to the site mate. Enjoy the ride...Few of us Aussies here!

a reply to: CaptiNimble

Yeah, drop into or get in touch with the Northern Aboriginal Land Council (I think that is what its still called) when you get up north. Plan a trip and seek a permit for its duration in the areas where you intend to visit.

Ramingining is a small community inland but has a length of road to "the ramp". Across the small strait is Millingimbi island, another small aboriginal community. The area is known as the crocodile islands and has many small inlets/rivers/creeks. Strictly no alcohol.

Lots of Buff and of course the lizards. Crabs are huge. Tins of repellant mate and plenty of water.

If you get a permit there are some friendly locals who will point you in the right direction. April is a good time to visit. Check the level and tide of the Alligator if you cross from the Kakadu end. Perhaps after passing through that country take the back road up to Nuhulunby to freshen up.

Here in the West we have piles of tactical gear, ammo and survival knifes to fight off the zombie hoards on our TV's.

Once in a while we cook off and go on killing sprees because we are tired of waiting for the coming pocky clips.

Lol, could sure use some common sense from down under. Bring that guy Max with you…

and welcome to the site.
