Vaguely recall similar Tinpis... the Hollyford strip springs to mind for some reason?

Yup, when I was kid whitebait was chook tucker -literally. It wasn't unusual in those days to wake up on a Saturday morning to find someone had dropped off a 10 litre bucket-full!!! Eat what you wanted, until you were sick of it, then give the chooks the rest. There'll be more next week...

Wonder if we'll see the sights we used to see dawn & dusk again... fling-wing staggering home grossly overloaded, pilots & shooters covered in blood and ****e, helicopters littering the ground in every available spot! Huge fun in the pubs of a night too
