    Absolutely beautiful photography!

    Some of the best fungi photography i've seen.

    My favourite is the first Flammulina velutipes photo.

    What camera/s did you use for those photos?

    For dark psy you can't go past the old stuff (2000-2005). Penta, Menog, Parasense. Gataka is also great for an uplift.

    Being a metal guitarist i am really fussy/picky with what psytrance i listen to. It is mostly electro rubbish with the artists having no fucking idea about how to write a song properly. So when i hear a really well written track or an artist that can write and understand music theory it blows me away.

    All the dark psy i've tried listening to for the past few years has been noisy crap, so i'd love some suggestions too.

    I have heard confirmations of sightings of cube and pan in the hunter over the past week. I thought it was getting too late also, but apparently not- conditions are perfect.

    well worth it just to see Richie Jay and Daheen..the later being one very funny fucker..if he does the impersonations of Bush with mask on and monkeys and pirates etc...its a riot..I've never laughed so much as when I saw Daheen perform with guitar and Bush mask on...really nice tunes he produces as well.

    H.

    Nice. Daheen (Dave) is a good friend of mine, love his vibe and tunage!

    My time for bush doofs was between 2002-2005. I saw the scene seriously deteriorate into a seedy drug scene towards the end of 2004. It's a shame it went like that, as my initiation into the scene was such a beautiful place and some serious exploring of conciousness took place regularily. It seems dirty party drugs have sort of taken over in some places. I can't really comment on what it is like at the moment except for reports i get occasionally from friends who go regularily. Still there is nothing like a party in the bush. I agree with those that say it is hard to go back to an indoor gig after being in crystal clear nature for such an experience.

    I'm listening to one of my fave psytrance albums while typing this: 'Gataka: Drop the Mask' - it's old but it pumps!!

    Bring on the goosebumps!

    I'd love to organise a reunion type party and see if its possible to recapture that amazing vibe the scene had years ago. Fuck me, I MISS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The question is, do you really want to piss him off?

    Wise words Torsten. I think i will chose my battles and leave this one. Although the police officer did not go by the book, I don't think it is to my advantage to pubicise/explain his lack of ethics. I would like to think they have bigger fish to fry (and real crimes to attend to).

    Thanks for the advice Torsten.

    Hi all, I was harrassed by a police officer in my main street a few days ago. He didn't do anything corrupt or anything i could pin on him but i took a photo of him and later that day he rang me and tried to intimidate me for taking the photo. I know it is my legal right to take photographs in public, most of you know i'm into photography.

    I would like to know if it is legal for me to publish the photo i took of him and his name on forums and explain how i was treated? (for the record, i have no criminal record or bad repore with police, which the officer confirmed when he rang me to intimidate me)

    His name is fucking hillarious, so if its all good to post you'll be the first to see here! I really need an accurate legal position, i don't want to do anything illegal as you all know what most police are like.

    Thanks SC, i got all of ep04. Cheers!

    Fuck, didnt know you could find out that much with torrent, yep, im with bigpond. Is there any security issues i should worry about?

    I can see why the episode was pulled, pretty good episode too. Heaps funny! In comparison, imagine walking in there claiming to have made a scheduled party drug and that was okay as long as you didnt distribute it. The feds would be straight onto it. I guess this guys a massive attention grabber and the substance in the bottle was probably fake. He still stated it was a certain drug though? Hmmm.

    you will have to cut all the branchs off close to the base & paint the wounds with glyphosate (roundup) or some such herbacyde. either that or dig the whole thing out of the ground, making sure you get ALL the roots. pretty much the only ways to get rid of lantana AFAIK.

    Second that.

    I worked in Bush Regen for a while and painting the stump with glyphosate is certainly the most effective and enviro friendly herbicide solution. If you do this, cut the stump as low as possible and scrape with a knife the outer bark layer of the tops of the runners coming off the stump and paint as much exposed area as possible. Lantana wood is very soft to cut. I wouldnt reccomend spraying as it can take a few applications and sprayed herbicide can carry in the wind onto valued plants and possibly frog/aquatic habitat in certain locations. Lowest risk of exposure and unwanted contamination with cut and paint IMO.
