I've heard a rumour that someone, over the October long weekend, flew from somewhere to elsewhere via Marree man. (Apparently the outline is already being overtaken by the desert, once again.) A local publican was informed of this.. :ooh:
I and a colleague flew over the MM on Saturday. He seemed quite faded, even compared with when you, M and I flew over him back in April during the Maralinga trip. I mentioned this in passing to Trevor W, but he seemed to be completely uninterested. As usual, there was lots of water and rain around (crud at 200' on the CBP TAF) and the Track was closed in both directions out of YWMC. We witnessed a couple of tourists nonetheless head down the Track in defiance of the signs. :eek: |

Perhaps there's a geoglyph near YFRT as well as YWMC, and these attract rain?
Spooky! :eek: |

(Or yet another fun morning foraging in the historic, technical, rubbish tip?) :) |

I think that I've been to YWMC around nine or ten times and YFRT about six. Almost invariably, both places are soaking wet. :confused:
Yer musta had Tim Flannery on board with yer. He's the chap who said it would never rain again in Oz and were a key player in getting all them mothballed desalination plants built. . |

Would those visits all have been made in winter, perhaps? It was 43 deg there last week.
Kaz One trip to YWMC was on a January long weekend and it rained.. |

At several different times of the year, Kaz. It's true that we generally avoid the middle of summer for obvious reasons.(Looks like spring is to avoided in future!)

OMG - she'd have to be a very brave woman then! |
Just goes to show there is someone for everyone.
Lucky him to be able to afford a girlfriend for the whole night, not just an hour. |
So are the two very naughty publicans in Yatala yet?
I'm thinking perhaps not.. |

What are they supposed to have done to warrant such a penalty?:confused:
Reply via Pm would be a good idea. |
I will give a free jar of ozemite to anyone who can advise who was the genius that put in the original Marree Man?

Would prefer if ozemite came in larger jars. Your peanut butter is spot-on. |

Thread drift
Would prefer if ozemite came in larger jars. Your peanut butter is spot-on. I occasionally find that some of the locals ask if they can try it. Next thing, the jar disappears!!:{ We now return to the original thread subject. |
Further thread drift.
What used to be overseas owned Kraft peanut butter and Vegemite are now owned again by an Australian company: Bega Cheese. Now back to aviation issues.. |
