Not totally convinced it's Australia, any thoughts.

Looks like the person in the photograph is wearing an american civil war confederate soldiers cap. The trees in the background look to be deciduous not eucalipts and the one he is leaning against looks like a conifer of some sort. So maybe it was taken in America.
That is American Civil war image from google images.
Today i bought a FPV (first person view) Pro model racing drone got everything i need for just over $200, i bought all the parts separately and saved heaps now just have to solder it all together once its here.
all the parts should be here by Wednesday, once they arrive i'l post a few photos and try make a flight video (don't know if it records or if only live feed, never checked lol)
should be like a personal birds eye view though and il be happy to have that in the goldfields :Y:

Queried the stereoview with the seller indicating he didn't look like the diggers were used to seeing from the period and as mentioned the trees look more like pines than gums ...... ended up selling for just over $100 so not too disappointed at not winning it.

The seller indicated .......
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your message.
The stereoview is a "genre" view and the titles are supposed to be humorous rather than literal. I would think it might well be in England somewhere, but can't be sure.
Hope this helps you!
Best wishes,
David.

I bought a drone. I've always wanted one. It's a cheapie from China. I absolutely suck at flying it. Bought my young fella a $25 jobbie from kmart. He was up and flying it around in seconds flat!!! If he wasn't a smart alec about my skills, it wouldn't be smashed and in the bin!!!! Haha 
It's like that isn't it. Young kids and people from underdeveloped countries have clear minds and absorb new technology quite easily.

Sorry but I don't agree 8)
"Young kids" yes having a more under developed mind.
But "people from under developed countries" just work harder because they want it more starting from way behind people born in the first world.
That is how I see it anyway,they just want it more :Y:

My son put one of these in his camper trailer. He runs it off the spare fuel tank he has mounted up between the axles and reckons it heats the camper up very quickly for almost no fuel use.

Yeah I know, but you can either set it to run on thermostat temp or run at 1,2,3,4,or 5kw constant settings, so it's pretty flexible and it didn't cost much more than the 2kw.
I also figured I could have outlets from my van that could be pumped to mates tents, since it has the high capacity.
How is the fuel consumption on yours?
Fuel consumption , ha ha, on low witch is all we mostly need it on is about .25 l/h or about 35cents an hour
Just be careful if you set it to run on the thermostat temp, this will turn the unit on and off as the temp rises and falls. Mine draws about 12 a/h during the start up sequence, then drops back to about .5a/h to run, in doing this all night it can flatten your batteries very quickly.
We always run ours at the "constant" setting, so once it's started up and running you can turn the heater up or down as you want and it will just keep running at that output.
Remember who walked away from the goldfields with all the money. The traders, not the miners.
Pump into mates tents, ] nah rent them warming space in the van, 50cents a minute :lol: :lol:
cheers Keith
