    Why are you called that?

    Mine is based on a property I had up bush. There were so many wombat holes that my wife said that when I kick off all she had to do was toss me down one. And I like scraping for gold.

    Eldorado trip postponed for a little while.

    Hi everyone. It seems that my planned trip to Eldorado Reedy Creek is put on hold for a short while.
