We've come a long way

Post by Spook »

Going through some old photos

This is one of our camps in 1987 or thereabouts
Fairly spartan in fit out, but it did the job. Interesting note though, one of those Engels is still in use and goes well.

When this days model is compared, it's chalk and cheese. This is in the fresh water right upstream in the Roper

If I wasn't doing this, I'd be Fishin'

It takes me two days!

Like you, when I was a Fisho on the road, I would have a swag, and not a very good one at that, one of those Briggs and Stratton utectic tank refrigerators, a pack of Sao biscuits, and a roll of 4-b-4.
