Hilarious @TAB
There's nothing like a full range of junk food to keep us going till next time.
I couldn't or wouldn't accept Spartan living in the outback. I could do the same in a city.

I can understand @TAB . But you might be able to get cheap outback electricity if you could tap into the special nearby grid. haha . Still, the railway track should be nearby, so the fruit and veggie's might come on the goods train tomorrow. I wonder though, how the area is with flies in the summer. the heat and dust is one thing, but them flies are something else.

Good morning @SmilingGecko
Maybe you could by one of those electric heated clothes racks for the cold winter months. In the summer it might double as a BBQ.

Thought of it @Stout! I was just in the market for a clothes rack last month - had to buy one because my last one of many years finally broke. Got a sturdy durable one from Bunnings. I did check Amazon but its really cheap trashy stuff. Read reviews on Amazon and peoples clothes racks from there were badly made & falling apart going by testimony. When this one arrived it was like made of strong components so it will last a long time hopefully. Stuff in my house seems dry fast.

Ive just realized I might have been a bit insensitive at the moment. Trying to be funny at a time when I shouldn't have been. Old blog habits.
Sorry all.
@TAB , I know what its like in the outback, and I spent some years in the North. One year we had 350 odd days without a cloud at 40 degrees. Dry as a bone. Wheat, oats, bali, sorgum, corn. All good crops. Never worked on any of that though. Do they have those painted silos Tab?
