As far as I know, the long drop was only ever used in mining country; the dunny usually being dragged over a disused mine. Apparently there were many such things when seasonal opal miners would leave their diggings only to return many months later to find a dunny over where their precious undiscovered gems lay.
Only once was I ever involved in lighting up a strip at night. Pine View north west NSW hosted a visiting RFDS flight to pick up an injured motorcyclist light years ago. How many others on here have had to light up a strip?
Siphoning. What about siphoning? How many you young fellas have syphoned fuel? And I'm not talking about modern-day one-way valves either, just a lump of old garden hose and gravity... or is that atmospheric pressure?
