Re: Out shot by TYB again

Good on both of you. Dad for the support and TYB for his results. Great to see the future of the sport is progressing so well in the youth of today. It's also a time to reflect when the son beats the dad and you begin to realise they are no longer the young kid you let "sometimes" beat you...

Re: Alice Springs Masters Games 10 - 18 Oct 2014

That's the beauty of living in the centre .... everything is just up the road from here. :lol: It's interesting to note about how where you live and your interests influences your perception of distances. When I lived in Brisvegas it was "normal" to drive up north to Hervey Bay for fishing...

Cradle Mountain is another spot (all north end of Tassie)...

Re: Reload cost
