Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

love to go to nerandera I need a break .been at several big fires, and im on a list to go anywhere .plus the hydro and crackerbox need a little tlc nearly finished trailer mods for thrifty . made new exhaust (need better quality welder, but they seem to work. gassless mig is crap ) .did new shaft se...

yes another summer of fire as someone said. I too remember when we (rfs) made decisions of when to burn . we lost 2 houses in salt ash last Sunday. and about 500 hectares of bush as well as sheds cars etc ( power lines arcing in strong winds. a fire that started about the same time at Heatherbrae ac...

Not good to loose anything dave .great to hear the family is safe .I spent sunday out fighting fires in the hunter region, hopefully you have seen the worst .at least you should now have a fire break around your house .if you need help im sure we all can lend a hand. though I could be a busy little ...
