Yeah I like that idea, I was gunna say to you Id like to go out past Lake Bindegolly Nat. Park and Thargomindah is past there. Is it red sand that far out? I didnt realise that it was still brown grass as far out as Charleville... So you've been given a few spots to check out now? I was gunna PM Moloch earlier and then realised that he hasnt been on the forum for a few weeks but I spose its still worth trying to get in contact with him. Is Charleville as far north as you wanna go?

Well there may be patches of red around Charleville but doing the street view on Google didn't show any, but it is about 50km out of Cunnamulla. But I don't really know what I'm talking about yet, so might be. Yea got a few spots to go to but can't remember the one that Mark mentioned for Woma's lastnight, will PM him too. Might as well try David, he'll get an email to say he has a PM.
If we went to Thargomindah, it would be best to go via St. George/Cunnamulla, but if we have plenty of money we could go back up north to Quilpie, and east to Charleville, Roma etc. That would be insane! Holy crap, just checked it on google, only 2,217km! Keen? If we had 14 days, we would only have to 158km a day, it's just the money issue Caloundra QLD to Caloundra QLD - Google Maps

Yeah we need to get as much info out of Mark as possible, I remember the round about area of where he said to find Womas but not exactly. I'll send David a PM then and see what I can get out of him. Are you keen to do it in 14 days? It will give us a chance to do a hell of a lot of herping as opposed to driving...if we did go out past Eulo then we would probably be better off going straight up to Quilpe instead of back tracking to Cunnamulla and then going up to Charleville? You got any idea what sort of money were looking at for a 14 day trip? We'll just did side of the road camping I guess? Its pretty much just food and petrol thats gunna cost.

 

[DanTheMan]

Gross, chili prawns are the way to go! I have the best recipe in the world for them.

 

[euphorion]

mmmm agreed Dan. but i love sweet chilli garlic prawn stirfry yum x 10!!!

 

[AMY22]

Okay well I just deleted a friend from primary school from Facebook because half his posts are derogatory towards women. I won’t say exactly the things he was saying but boy am I mad. I am so damn sick of that attitude, and then people expect me to want a relationship and try to set me up. No I do NOT want to be in a relationship. You can look but no touch.
I asked him if he could ever make a post that DOESN’T make women look cheap and told me that I didn’t need to get mad at him for the fact he’s funny, so I went off at him, told him the only joke here was himself, that there is an easy explanation to the fact he can’t find ‘the right girl’, he could have all the (insert expletive here) he can get because any half intelligent girl wouldn’t waste their time with him, then I deleted and blocked him.

Amy is ready to kill! KILL!!!

 

[-Matt-]

I eat my prawns straight from the water...I don't even bother 'peeling' them!

 

[euphorion]

Hehehe, Amy, you rock. 100% girl!

 

[miley_take]

I knew there was a reason why I worry about you Matt!!! :lol:

Oh crap I just sent one to David, sorry!
Yea if we did go that far west we wouldn't track back to head north. Okey dokey, got the calculator.. There's no way we would need more than $500 for fuel to get there and back, then there's herping fuel on top of that. Just did a price check, in Roma it's around $1.28 a litre today according to RACQ, but they didn't have the smaller areas west of there, so working at around $1.50 that's $500, which would be the maximum, and that's going from 350km per tank of gas, but I get more than that easy. Only have a small tank.
Then the other calculation would just be food.. We'll have to go cheap in that area and only buy what we need, no left overs! I can bring eggs thanks to my choocks, I'll start saving them now, get 6 a day.
I've got the gas cooker and stuff, but can never be bothered cooking much for breakfast so I'll be happy with like weatbix or something. It'll be cheaper to stock up here 1st, I've got a big esky too for the Tooheys
I think nothing less than $1k, that would leave $500 for food and herping fuel, I think a bit more would be better. I'm also worried about how far apart the servo's will be, what if we can't make it to the next!? I'll get a 25 litre petrol container just encase.

Haha, stuff PM's, we'll plan it all right here!

Oh well now he's got two PM's lol
Ok well I reckon I can come up with over $500 within the next week or two I can run pretty well on limited food lol, eggs will be good and we can just buy bread and milk at shops as we pass through towns. Big esky for beer and water is good! We also have to be prepared for any mechanical problems and stuff like that aswell, Ive gotta see if you can get car chargers for camera batteries and if not buy another battery for my camera. We'll need a heap of batteries for torches, etc. Do you know when you wanna leave?

Hmmm it seems like this thread may have actually run its course....

Sweet, I've got $450 atm, but have 2 weeks worth of pay to come, so will spend FA from now on so we have ample money and as you said, encase the wagon ****s itself we'll need a few spare dollars. Will head into some camera shops and see what I can find, I'll need both a new battery and a car charger, there's no way I would last 2 weeks in the outback without a charger. Unless I had 14 batteries.
I'll get my aircon re-gassed just before we go. We'll leave in exactly 2 weeks from today as soon as I finish work (around 2pm), get out to around Lake Broadwater (near Dalby) and spend the night there and see what we can find, then make our way from there. I'm so excited I just peed a little.

Yea it's certainly quite around here tonight! Maybe we've killed it with our roadtrip discussion? I'm sure it will truck along slowly, we won't let it die!

 

[AMY22]

what sort of things was he saying?

I can’t really say on here because it was some pretty sleazy stuff and I don’t want to get in trouble, but basically just sleazy jokes, it’s quite apparent that he only thinks women are good for one thing.
I don’t care for that kind of attitude at all, so many chicks just brush it off and let it happen.

Hmmm it seems like this thread may have actually run its course....

I’d write so much more if my internet wasn’t so slow that it takes 20 minutes to load the page, then I’d be able to engage in proper conversation with you. But it’s getting a little faster now.
