Spent 4hrs last night busting bunnies then drove home, arrived 06:00 and after a snooze I've pretty well packed everything away as though I'd never left. Was a very quick 5 days away but I'm very happy with the progress made.
Managed to get a lot of work done on the block mainly because I didn't go hunting out in the Pilliga scrub.
4 x precast concrete blocks for the corners to keep it off the ground, aid cooling and prevent rusting. 3'x3'x2' @ 1000kg each were surprisingly cheap at $50 and the crane brought them out with him so I saved on delivery. Was 35c outside but a comfortable 25c inside.

Internal usable space of 38' x 7'6" - Enough for some bunk beds, Bathroom, Kitchen and living room. I'll model the fit out similar to a big caravan but done on a shoe string budget.

Took 4 rifles for busting bunnies and each rifle made at least 1 kill though the bulk was done with the Sako .243
L-R - Desert Tech HTI 50BMG, Desert Tech HTI .416 Barrett, Sako 85 .243 & Sako 85 .204
As an FYI the HTI's are fitted with identical S&B PMII 12-50x56 and both Sako's have a VX2 Leupold 4-12x50 - I like consistency across firearms.

Heading up again Australia Day Long weekend to get some flooring done and hopefully drop off the doors & windows so the cousin can get that work started. After that I'll focus on the 16'x40' deck, stairs and later this year the roof so I can start collecting some rain water. The cost to this point is just under $7k which isn't too bad but I expect the final cost to reach the mid 20's.
