Mudslinger's Corner

I’ve been a bit busy making things lately – so I thought I’d show off a few of my newest creations!

Clicking on the thumbnails should bring up the full size views.

I think signs of madness are beginning to show just from the fact I chose to randomly make a Harvester!

With these drives that we are going on we are more frequently including a hike to try and keep ourselves healthy (or so we think anyways).  Only this one took us a bit longer due to Andy’s wealth of knowledge informing us to expect a 2hr return hike through relatively level ground – instead we endure a 4hr expedition over steep hills!

We also let Andy navigate which got us lost at one point. Also this time round we got a couple of extra friends joining in.

We eventually found our way to “Brandy Flat” in Namadgi National Park.

Skippy says hello.

We walked a lot.

And walked a lot more.

Had some fun trying to catch pictures of the moving scenery – kangaroos are fast little buggers.

And finally had to trek back down the hills. Our snack and water supplies were starting to get low.

Even saw what could be Canberra’s remaining water supply – as the City has been in regular water restrictions for some time now.

Unfortunately no videos for this post – only scored a couple of crap shots of kangaroos snoozing in the shade. From this hike I didn’t even have the energy to sneak up and wrestle a kangaroo like Steve Irwin would.

We all got back in time to checkout the Skyfire Event that was on the same night.  – Will post some footage of that in one of my next posts.

Turned out to be a very exhausting day after all that!

To start off the morning for this particular day – one of our mates needed help getting home from a wild night before. He had trouble starting his VW Beetle as it’s engine had flooded. We attempted to push start it but ran out of energy. So I volunteered my trusty little Toyota Echo to pull start it!

We managed to get it going and he was on his way.

Anyways, on with the drive….

For this trip we went to Namadgi National Park for a hiking trip (we kinda need some exercise!). We got to a particular location where we had a pretty good view of hills, trees, grass and other natural stuff.

We saw a number of kangaroos relaxing under some shady trees.

Our hiking destination involved traveling to some rock where the anchient native aboriginals were creative.

Had a bit of a snack while simultaneously fighting off some vicious huge flies – the kind that are a bit too big to fit up your nose yet the little buggers still try to get up there!

After getting back to the car we drove a bit further along to find some old hut of historical importance. Apparently some old guy used to live there.

Inside it had some old reading material – probably used to plug up the windy gaps in the wood.

The news section was a bit out of date though.

And to top it off – some random video footage from the day…

Girlfriends usually don’t let you go near other women. I guess the day out at the Jamberoo water park was an exception!
