The Bush is NOT Your Dumping Ground!

Nice work saving the turtle!

Unfortunately Gwion, it does seem to be a nation wide problem, one of my local Bass fishing spots seems to be the favourite place for car thieves to dump and burn stolen cars...usually V8 or V6 utes.... I've reported three in the past 5 or so years. The wife and I cleaned up a load of rubbish thrown down the side of the riverbank, a total of around 6 plastic garbage bags worth. We passed the details of the dumper....who dumped old mail .... along to the council, who collected the rebagged rubbish. After every public holiday we clean up the side of our road, the worst offenders seem to be people who own brand new 4X4's. Then there are the" neat" ones who put their rubbish in a plastic bag and leave it by the side of the road...... clearly they have no idea about possums, dogs and other animals ripping the bags open. I've seen the dunny paper and turds right beside the river, people pump from this river for their homes....... nuff said, makes me sick. Cheers

Gee, Inappropriately disposed asbestos is pretty bad People have to go there to dump, let alone the risk to the people that work day in day out at these waste management facilities.. very poor form

Ah yes, I remember the days, sailing on an up-turned car bonnet on a "sea" of toxic sludge, chasing snakes around, scrounging parts for billy carts and generally having fun....not sure it was that safe ...but it was fun! If you're getting old and grumpy, you're not the only one Cheers

I once found a dumped disk brake LSD, it was in very good shape... Sold it for 1K... Cleaning up after others, does have its rewards

There's an engine block in the creek under my bridge and a few old car carcasses lying around my place. Your welcome to them but I don't think you'll get much for them!

You never know mate.. Depending on what the old cars are they may actually be worth something ? Its surprising what some people can restore

I take it you are back home now ? Delivered the last rights on anything with the priest yet ?

[Gwion]

Yep... Back home. No time for fishing or anything. Rebuilding the kitchen. Then installing two semi buried sea containers for brewery cellar, then build post & rail fence & installing auto irrigation. Then building a little side shed for garden tools and water pumps to free up space for timber prep. Then building a stone feature wall as a fireplace outside and stone steps down to the chooks & orchard. All while brewing and getting bee out. All by Christmas....



Why do we do these things to ourselves???

[Gwion]

Anyway.... These old vas are WELL past any restoration.

One is a very old Ford (I think) ute. Full of bullet holes where some has been plinking at it in the distant past and folded almost in half from where someone wrapped it around a tree.
The others are just decaying bits.

There is a spot in Wombat Forest where somebody dumped a few XY falcons. They have probably been there 20-30 years but if I had to guess, it's the leftovers of somebodies GT restroration project. One of the dumped vehicles is a gold color original GS wagon. The forest growth has taken them to pieces.
