Today is Thursday 20.
Tomorrow is 21. The last day of school holidays.
Monday 24 is the first day back at school.
Tuesday 25 is ANZAC Day (public holiday)
The first day back at school is usually always a "pupil free day". Even if it is not a pupil free day, no parent is going to send their kids to school on Monday, just to have Tuesday off.
Wednesday, will be the first day in 3 years that ticks all the boxes for me to take the camper to the river and do an over nighter and catch me a Murray Cod...No flood waters, no fires, no rain, no snakes AND no kids !!....And you give me 2 stars. First day in 3 years that ticks all the boxes and you give me 2 stars ?? Then, just to ice the cake, you expect me to get up at 3 O"CLOCK in the morning !!!
If I catch a cod and post the pics, I will expect lots of likes and shares...or there will be further complaints !! :)
Hahaha...Unbelievable, several days of 4 stars and the planned day - 2 stars. hahaha

Mission Aborted...
For all of you eagerly awaiting pics of Murray Cod...Todays maiden voyage of the new home made camper is cancelled.
Sorry to disappoint everyone.
The 2 stars was just the beginning. I noticed a few logistical issues. No biggies. Just meant about a 3 hour delay for launch...But then they said rain expected for tonight or tomorrow morning...This trip was to be a shake down test run of the new set up and I just don't want to do that if it is raining....Yes, I know "fair weather fisherman" - sticks and stones, call me names if you like, but I am not going !!
This is it. I put a roof top tent on my little trailer. All up I have put very close to $10,000 AUS into this project. Apart from toilet, it is fully self contained. 60 liter water (you can see the brass tap just in front of the wheel arch). Inflatable boat (kayak). Solar input (but it can go at least a week without recharging). 200lt of sealed weather proof storage - plus car, roof racks and non-weather sealed etc.
The trailer is Australian made Trailers2000 poly (plastic). It has rubber bush suspension which means no springs. So it can go into shrubby off road rough places. The tent is Dune4WD by Anaconda. Aluminium honeycomb shell, so can take some knocks through the bush. Oh, and it is canvas of course.
Still a few more things to do. A rod tube is next. I was going to just use a hand line for this trip. Then a bat (fox) wing awning. Can't decide to go with a 180 or 270.
Anyway, The couple of minor logistic issues are now sorted. Since this is just a shake down trip, I am thinking a 2 nighter at Greens Lake. No cod but there but plenty of carp...Or, see what this rain does, the river might still be a goer.
