We're Back.

[Terry]

With some doubts about the fitness of some of the crew we'll need a doctor in case of emergencies. - How about you Stephen?

We'll use paper plates Heather and my old Camp oven, only needs a quick wipe over at the end of the trip.
(we'll use fingers or bush made chopsticks of course)

[Heather]

I wouldn't really mind doing the dishes, just as long as the others have to do them too.

Oh, and you could start in my front paddock - there's gold there somewhere (and a diamond). I've got the house on the market....should I charge extra for the diamond ring do you think?

I've got a jar of cream stuff for bad knees, backs, shoulders etc (doesn't work for bad tempers though). I could bring that along.

[Ron]

What's wrong with doing the dishes ? who's doing latrine duty! And no! I haven't got my hand up!!

Ron

[Heather]

There's a latrine? That's a relief!

[Terry]

There's gold everywhere!
My wife lost her wedding ring at Peaceful Bay - We could do some fishing as well.

[Heather]

Oh Terry, I'm there. (But I ain't doing latrine duty. OK?) Ron seems to know all about it though - I think he might have done it before. And just between you and me, if you promise him a bottle of red he'll do anything!

[Neville Briggs]

I have a portable CD player and a heap of classical CDs. Good for campfire listening.

[Heather]

You'll have to carry them yourself Neville - oh, and camp a minimum of 200 metres downwind from the main camp. Is ok though, i'll make sure you're not near the latrine!

[Heather]

Ha! That's one less we have to share the fish with! Sure scared him away easily hey Terry!

[Terry]

Don't worry about it Matt, a couple of days up on the Ashburton at this time of the year will thin the ranks pretty quick.

The way I see it we'll end up with a real beaut new detector between us for very little outlay and within two or three days there will
be only a couple of us left, and 10,000,000 million flies of course - is that paradise or what.
