Banjo has been knackered all day, hasnt even been scabbing for dinner tonight.

Thanks for sharing Colin and good onya for organising it Sherbs.  Looks like a great weekend away regardless of the less than favourable fishing conditions.

looks like you had a ball and a few to many in some of the pics, or is it just the flash of the cammera a bit bright

Looking forward to some nice summer night ,up there with you guys,good to put some names to faces .and yes we did find our way out .

the weed. The best part was meeting a few new people and catching up with some old faces. As I said above, what a great bunch of people.

Is a pain in the  as s ,With all his grear allaround his feet lol

great weekend it was. thanks guys for organising it. sad story, remember the red Ford Lazer that was on its roof on Waneroo road? saw on the news a guy died in it last night. unfortunate really.

Cannot see too much fancy gear there, old favourite Alveys go the job again.

Looks like a great time had by all regardless of the conditions

Nice work crew, good to see a great turnout. Good fishing's sometimes a bonus on these kinds of trips.;)

looks like it would have been a fun night. pity the fish didnt want to come out and play and with all the weed it wouldnt have made it easy ., would have liked to have been there , maybe next time

It was a shame about the lack off fish but a good time was had by all.

looks like yous had a great time....me and blake were thinking of heading down to spin off a few lures for an hour or two, but sherbs came in and said no profesionals allowed :P

good to put a few names to faces.  I have to apoligise i was quite ill in the morning thanks to those who helped pack my car for me

anytime you toyota or subaru drivers need to be pulled out my nissan is at your service

cheers

Too bad about the fishing.. but im sure there are not too many better ways to spend a weekend. Well done guys.

Cos it was not my old girl that go stuck, But some new type of toyota

steve

all the same

Thanks for a great night out we had a blast pity about the fish it was good to put some faces to the names. And yes my subie got stuck but shit happens and i did get further up the beach than the prado i think if no one got stuck we wernt trying hard enough cause its not 4 wheel driving if no one gets stuck. The trip out in the morning was long its a long drive into loonies and seems even longer on the way out. When we pumped up the tyres Mal got a Tick on his leg the little buggers were scampering around on the sand. Thanks very much Sherbs for organizing the trip i very much appreciate it as im sure everyone else did too.

Thanks to  Sherbs and Colin for a good over nighter Mark and myself enjoyed meeting all the crew hope to meet you all around the fishing spots again.

Cheers

Had a great time around that camp fire, Maybe some fish next time

And spinning a coin to get the winners work out well

Thanks guys and  girls for a great night

looks like you all had a good night. Hoping to join you all one day.

What a delightful afternoon!

it was a good trip,getting bogged in my hilux,only 4 a minute,and graham i think it was saying 2 me buy a suburu only to get stuck up the beach a while later,but overall besides the weed it was a good trip,plenty of laughs and fun,thanks sherbs and colin for organising the trip and last but not least thankyou to the crew i met,looking forward to the next trip

I came back with a couple  of special friends.does anybody have a good old remedy to remove ticks.

Mal ended up with one too and unfortunately he knocked it off its head.

like Leemo said but not sure about the duct tape just smother it with vasoline as they breath out there ass and they will back out. dont pull on them as you will pull their heads off and that means a trip to the Drs

Dont rip them out, it will leave the head in and you will get a itchy spot there for up to a year. It is called a tick granuloma for those interested.

Yes the best way is for the tick to move itself out of the bite site. Snuffocating (thats what I call it because it will suffocate and hopefully snuff it at the same time) it with vaso or any ointment will start to suffocate it, and it will try and move, and then it hopefully will just kark it.

Other methods not as recommended, but there is lots of wives tales and weird remedies but the vaso is what I would do.

If it was possible ask Colin McRae how many he had on him whilst testing for Rally Oz one year, and his brother Alsitair and Colin's co-driver Nicky Grist wasn't far behind. Vaso-ed them up and they all went waltzing matilda.

All the medical experts say that the best way to remove the tick is to use fine tweezers and grip as close to skin as possible and gently pull. All the quack remedies (vasoline, match, kero, metho etc etc) don't work. In fact they reckon that things like vasoline and metho irritate the ticks and make them glue themselves in or puke more toxins into you. here's a couple of examples, but google will find you heaps http://medent.usyd.edu.au/fact/ticks.htm#remove or http://www.lyme.org/removal.html. Note the second one says if the head breaks off - dig it out or leave it and the head come out on its own like a splinter (I've had hundreds of the buggers and always take the second approach). Note also that Lyme disease probably doesn't occur in Australia.

The tweezer trick is appropriate, but you have to pay a doc to do it. Doing it at home you have a great chance of ripping off the head.

There is a huge difference between eastern states and and here. We dont have paralysis tics over here. In the eastern states if the head is left in it is far better to remove it surgically with a small excision. And it is also important to get the tic out. The kangaroo tics we have over in WA are fairly benign and if the head is left in will cause a itchy spot but no other problems.

The Vasoline trick over here certainly works well enough without having to fork out and see a doc to pull it off. Lyme disease does not occur in Australia.

The "father" off all GPs in Australia is Prof. John Murtagh and his books are on almost very doctor desk somewhere : "John Murtagh

I recently spent three days as the doctor at our year 5/6 school camp. My main task was tick removal. Most succumbed quietly to Vaseline suffocation, followed by removal with fine tweezers."

For a "bush" remedy still try the Vaso trick, and if the problem persist, see your doctor.

fair enough mate - just stating the general medical consensus and current first aid protocol. Don't know why you need to see a doc? pretty easy to get some fine tweezers and do it yourself - and if the head stays in - sure it might be itchy for a while - but as you say, no paralysis, no Lyme, so it's not much more than a splinter. Seems that Murtagh uses the vaso to kill them before pulling anyway.

Thanks for the info i will have a far better heads up next time i get a tic myself very informative thanks again

less tics lol

If he doesn't know what to do than no-one would.

Thanks for the info .used glue stick and a pair of twesers The one on my belly came off without a problem I needed the wifes help to remove the other one.

Not gonna asssssk where that 2nd one was
