Great yarn Ross. I loved the laconic Aussie style of the conversation, well your side of it anyway.
I had to smile at your description of the 'helpful stranger' and his bushman's camping home away from home gear. I was at a show display recently and was amazed at what is available these days to go camping. We used to take the kids camping when they were little and given that we weren't exactly into 'roughing it' I thought we had pretty much all the mod cons, but now, bloody hell. These days you wouldn't get me camping for love nor money and I whinge if the accomodation is less than five stars but mate I have to tell you I reckon the camping equipment would be more expensive than staying in a five star hotel anyway.
