Ah yes, the famous Soviet era of the United States. How could I forget?
It was a US made Bell 212
Or if you’re up in the top end, there’s Nawarla Gabarnmung which dates to about 44kya. Some natural rock pillars in the shelter, others modified and others still constructed or relocated.
Could you use a command strip or something?
Yeah, but how do you propose I take my van to Fraser Island once a year to drive over turtle nests? That ute that I claim under tax because it’s for “business use only” is a necessity!

Hope you enjoy!
I pre-ordered DUSTWUN by Echotide
Full disclosure, I’m mates with the bass player- the best way to support your friends by paying full price!
Pretty shocking really
Time to start practicing then! Try to get out on a couple of grade 3’s in your area before you head over.
I did it with hiking shoes because that’s all I had with me, but I’d recommend hiking boots with good ankle support instead. There’s a short scramble towards the top but it’s not overly difficult.

Basically she had written in her diary about her enduring feelings of guilt over the deaths of her children, which is what formed the base of the original case against her. Prosecutors argued that the children were probably smothered, despite there being no physical evidence for that.
A recent enquiry heard new evidence that at least 2 of her children carried a genetic defect that could potentially have caused their deaths, which coupled with the circumstancial nature of the evidence used in the original conviction was enough the NSW governor to pardon her under reasonable doubt. That pardon lead to a trial in the criminal court of appeals which have now acquitted her of the charges.
She was pardoned in June and has subsequently has been acquitted in the criminal court of appeals.
I’ve been listening to Rum, Sodomy & the Lash on repeat this morning. Thanks for the melodies, Shane.
Have you had a listen to Drive-By Truckers? Southern rock without the yee haw rebel pride.
