Fishing Victoria Forum

I'm a cheapskate. I use an old pull along golf trolley with the wide solid wheels. ( $2.oo from the opshop). This makes it practical to use on the beach too without the wheels digging into the sand. A large plastic box fits nicely where a golf bag would normally go and the buggy even has a seat. Rod...

Attached to this post is a photo of part of a document published by the American Society For Microbiology in 2007.

I wasn't able to copy it other than by saving it as a photo.

Now, 13 years later, the time-bomb has exploded.

Who is to blame?

Very happy with instant coffee. Nescafé blend 43 is my preference but I’m a bit partial to International Roast. I don’t let this information get out usually because people treat you differently if you drink instant coffee, so I choose to stay in the closet. 2 sugars with a pinch of milk. I'm with T...

Easy to do but if you're in surburbia and have neighbours with sensitive noses it's not going to make you too popular. :oo: The second alternative...

Thanks for peoples concern. It has been a bit hairy here for a while now. Monday was a bad day here in Orbost, blood red smoke filled skies all day and by 6pm it was already dark. At 6.30 Orbost lost power and it only came back on a little while ago. The town was surrounded by fire and those of us w...

"Whiskers is the closing of the entrance now a common occurrence? Have projects that have dammed the water midway through last century caused 50years of unnatural sand build up? " You've hit the nail right on the head. The damming of the Snowy and water diversion to the Murray has seen the flow rat...
