that's serious. I went into Oz's most unsafe underground many moons ago. Woodcutters near batchelor, there was a diversion around a 200 tonne lump of stone that fell out of the celing 3 days before. These days it just dribbles sulphuric acid into the local creek.

yeah I have been working on underground machinery for a few years now for a Australian manufacturer and have found my self in china fair bit in the last couple of years, in fact i am there now and was underground today but thats my job. there mines are pretty well maintained from what I have seen and are often allot better working conditions than most Australian pits.
But just because they are clean doesn't mean they are safe so i still keep wits about me.

 

[SteveNT]

As you should.

Do you cycle in a bunch or by your lonesome, if its on a bunch just do the 150km straight up, you'll be surprised how far you can ride when you put yourself in the that situation.

Drank to much in Mexico, jumped in a back of ute with a bunch of locals who couldn't speak english, drove to a beach, drank & smoked a lot more, woke up the next morning in a tent with five mexicans passed out around me, crawled out into daylight with no idea where I was, no phone, no money, no spanish, no fresh water, hitchiked back to my hotel with nothing but my wristband that had the name of the hotel on it.

definitely one of the smartest decisions I ever made.

I have always loved Holden V8's I have owned two, I learned to make the most of them in my first a HZ ute then I had the pleasure of owning and driving a HZ fully Bombed Monaro this I actually managed to get up on 2 wheels(much to the horror of my Husband) I do confess to dragging them(out in the bush not on main roads) every Friday. I have also hunted and had my own team of dogs for 17 years(not anymore) I have been lucky enough to live in some of the most wild and beautiful terrain this country has to offer and been able to witness the beauty and savagery of nature and her critters I have often heard relatives comment that my life has been too tough for a woman??? and my Husbands had no right to "drag" me off to these places and occupations??? I confess loudly to being the dragger not the draggee rofl..... I am stuck in suburbia now a square peg in a round hole and am longing for my wilderness yet again..... Mostly what I have done that is the most precious and satisfying is being taught by my Daughter how to be the best parent I can be. She has inspired me to be a better person... Oh and I have learned not to read maps upside down and to reverse vehicles without nudging things out of my way

 

[Renenet]

You've done some interesting things so far, Crystal. I hope you get to your wilderness again one day. I know all too well what it's like to be a square peg in a round hole.

LOL I went contract mustering at 17 and a half in the early 80's and was the only female in that area even Jillaroo's were pretty rare back then. I am glad those antiquated views are all but buried nowdays I am hoping to reunite with my wilderness in the not to distant future
