  1. Yep I have my annual leave booked for the Friday 6 March and Tuesday 10 March at the moment. But I have some days owing in-lieu so I just had a look at the Spirit of Tassie bookings and cheapest cost fares are if we go take the boat Wednesday night 4 March $279 (with car) and come back on Wednesday 11 March $279 (with car). I'll be booking a cabin both ways 4 berth sleeper at $139 per trip - no way am I gonna sleep in a recliner (I remember last time when I booked a chair - Rab saved me with his cabin ) Total boat cost return for me leaving Wednesday night 4 March and coming back Wednesday night 11 March (back in Melbourne Thursday 12 March) would be $836 @YLD127 I won't be booking the Thursday night boat cos right now its a whopping $439 for the boat alone (no cabin) Everyone else's thoughts?
  2. So here are 2 vids I made yesterday about Dauntless. Had a few people ask me on Reddit about my looks so made a vid showing how I did that. Then also did a vid of one my fights in an arena called Trials within Dauntless (which is different from regular hunts in the biomes - its a timed trial to see how fast you can kill the Behemoth). If anyone plays Dauntless on here I'd like to meet up with them in-game. My IGN is EvilDaifu My looks - enjoy My Trials Normal fight against a Behemoth called Shockjaw Nayzaga
  3. We should start booking the boat and accommodation soon otherwise our choices will be limited and potentially more expensive.
  4. I was thinking leave Thu night and return Tue night (arrive back in Melb Wed morning and straight into work for me ) But I'm am flexible - I would like to stay longer if any of you guys wanted to stay longer and say come back on Wed night (I just need to put in for an additional day or days which should be okay ...)
  5. I just submitted my Annual Leave request for Fri 6 Mar to Tue 10 Mar @YLD127 what's the plan? I can add on more days if we decide to stay longer or leave earlier. We should really start looking around for accomodation and booking the boat over now otherwise will be mega $$$ if we leave it to late ...
  6. Soz this vid took so long to put together and post up - hope you enjoy it Special thanks to @YLD127 (additonal footage), @El Andrew (who also saved my drone ), @PookeyMaster and @civillian (additional footage - luv that Hero8 Black 🎥 ) - you guys made this cruise Looking forward to the Tassie Cruise in March next year For Your Enjoyment!
  7. Been playing Dauntless lately on PS4 - its a cross platform monster hunter that's free to play. Recommend it as its helping me lose weight i.e. don't eat much lately
  8. Merry Christmas guys! Got a red PS4 dual shock controller for Christmas -
  9. Went up to Mt Hotham and did a short day walk around Mt Loch last weekend with my mate from the UK - we then drove down the road from Omeo (stayed at Golden Age again) to Buchan Caves - wow I had forgotten how good that road is as it follows the river closely - but it is quite brief He was impressed when he took to the wheel of the FPV F6 - had the cabin dash running and shud have seen his expression (and swearing) over-taking a Mustang ... Buchan Caves is pretty good by the way
  10. OMG gonna buy up big on the Tumut River Brewery beers next year - just polished off a Ginger Ninja tonight with pizza at home tonite - farrk me its good Anyways - woke up next morning Saturday and saw Pookey's car parked out front next to my room After doing the BBQ shopping we all briefly got together for the regular Tumut Station photo opp (anyone see that Tumut spelt backwards is Tumut ) Having finished kitting up the GoPro's/Sony Action Cams we all headed off - here we are just near the Kiandra turn-off to Cabramurra ... Let's just say there at that turn off - having launched the drone - spent 1 hr more there than anticipated looking for a *cough* black hawk down black hawk down *cough* "drone in a haystack" - yeah see that paddock to the right in the pic above - it goes on forever Big thanks to El Andrew though for finding my expensive toy So then we came to the Tumut Pond dam which was blue-as in the right light ... Being an hour behind thanks to my little drone episode (everytime I take it out something happens - my drone that is ) - we were all suitably famished for late BBQ lunch in beside pristine Lake Khancoban whilst doin the Aussie wave ... Finally got into Jindy early afternoon (yeah that section went by quickly ) And it was soon time to settle down for beers and dinner again - this time at the place we have not tried before - Banjo's but would like to stay there again - classic front bar pub with patio facing Lake Jindabyne
  11. The stats for me on this cruise according to my Ford trip computer! Total distance travelled 1666km (includes rolling stops into Omeo with 46km range left and Bright with 35km range left - mental note - if it's going to be hot bring 10 litre and 5 litre jerry cans of 98RON ) Average fuel economy for me at the end of the cruise (after zero'ing leaving home) 12.1 l/100km Arriving into Tumut though on Friday afternoon my average was only 8.7 l/100km which I thought pretty good (not good enough according to YLD who was running of the smell of 7.something l/100 km ) Time in the saddle 20 hrs Fuel used 203 litre So most of us arrived into Tumut on Friday cept Pookey who rocked up at about 10:30pm cos had exam and Sydney Friday arvo traffic and here are some pics from Friday. Was sooooo hot the road was melting outside our hotel ... Found this nice spot by the Tumut River courtesy of a Holden GTS guy at the Tumut car wash (well I figured being a local he'd know where to take pics of his car ...) And civillian was showing us his neat wielding skills for all his jerry cans of E85 he meticuluously calculated he'd need for this cruise Then it was off to the Tumut Brewery for their famous Ginger Ninja beer and other boutiques plus their farrrkn fantastic MOFO Cheese Burgers 😋
  12. Just starting to review some footage and this is a still from a vid at Mt Hotham
  13. Just got home around 5pm. I'll post up more later but just want to say thanks to the guys for a great long weekend
  14. Luv the smell of gums trees in the morning - beautiful chilly day this morning ... in the shade Last night @YLD127 and I debating how we gonna get to the next 98RON servo as there is none here at Omeo ... I just made it in last night with 46km range to spare Good thing brought along the spare jerry can of 98RON - reckon it was the heat and air-con yesterday plus sitting behind 2 cars some of the way - and the distance between Jindy and Omeo ...
  15. A beautiful morning here in Jindy - here the birds and lake is smooth - it's actually a bit chilly outside this morning! Going to show civillian's friend my DJI Mavic Air (let's just say we were literally looking in a haystack yesterday for it huge thanks to @El Andrew who found it after a thousand cuts ... ) Also for those travelling back to Canberra via Cooma - Hartly bicycle challenge is on this weekend - so sharing road with cyclists.

  16. 8pm @PookeyMaster We at the front bar inside now (starting to get chilly outside)
  17. Just rang Snowy Hydro and they are in the process of merging with NSW National Parks for the tours so the powerstation is not open for visitors or tours right now until that merger is complete. So will we bypass it today. Sorry about that @civillian I'm running a bit late so how about we gather together at 9:15am at Amaroo this morning (had some work to do on email this morning).
  18. Rise and shine fellas - saying to @YLD127 smells so fresh this morning Heard @PookeyMaster arrive about 10:30pm last nite into room next to me
  19. For those within range - my hotspot is FordXR6Turbo and 12345678 👍
  20. Well hear the birds tweeting and see some blue skies amongst the Melbourne clouds this morning - so this cruise is ON Good luck @PookeyMaster in your exams today. Hope the alignment gets done okay in time this afternoon @civillian Looking forward to some technical advice over some beers this evening @El Andrew And checking out the new beard growth since last cruise @YLD127 Mate @Rab will miss you - yeah like everybody - was looking forward to catching up with you again. Sounds like things will sort themselves out. See ya in Tumut - drive safely guys
  21. I just realised tonight that the place I've been buying camping gear from online Tom's Outdoors is actually in Tumut - so gonna try to get there before closing time to have a browse. Heading to Wilson Prom in December
  22. Gonna start packing today and wash the car. Pookey all packed. We should do a Tumut train station photo opp with him before we leave Sat morning. He won't get in until way late due to Sydney peak hour traffic so just us for dinner. If the lighting is good I wouldn't mind doing a photo opp by the train station Fri afternoon before we head out to dinner as well. Not sure if there is something else scenic there we can do a photo opp by (suggestions from those who know Tumut welcomed). I'll bring an esky but I guess play it by ear on Sat - hopefully no Total Fire Ban on Sat for our BBQ.
  23. Yeah 39 deg C on my dash temp readout today in Melbourne. I think it will get cooler on the weekend.
