Ok, I've met young courageofthaweak and he is good to go as our token newbie. It would be great to see Change And Anodyne. I will organise some directions to private message soon. It's a very secluded place 20 mins drive down a dirt private road. A decent car will make it if it has reasonable clearance. Otherwise there is a place to park, and somebody with a 4wd can come and get you. Roadside assist won't come onto private roads, just sayin, we have had a couple of issues with break downs and last weekend somebody drove off an embankment. Just sayin.

Righto, I don't know if any of youse was watching the Interstate Camping thread, but that plan is in limbo, those usual suspects from Sydney who are still keen for a meet up, are defaulting to a gathering at my lower hunter valley property the first weekend in Dec. So come one and all, for a meeting on sat, or stay and camp for the weekend. Just putting it out there. We can sort out details and arrangements as we go.

Ok, so Amazonian can relax and focus on her kuffuffles, Glaukus can sort his business too, old mate Eth can get all loved up with our collective blessing, Obtuse can enjoy all the EGA has to offer, and Watertrade can spend the the time with his lovely family. For those of us still wanting to go on a trip that weekend, I will refer you to the Sydney Newcastle meet up thread, where I will try raise a crew for some social interaction with the ancestor spirits of Yengo. Let's take a rain check on this grand idea, for some time next year.

Hmmmmm, its a bit patchy. I understand life has its bumps, and in particular I hope everything is manageable in your world Amz. Love to you. The travel and my lack of camping stuff (ie a nice cozy van) make this a bit of an imposition. Probably more driving than socialising. But I was up for that to play with the Melb crew. I think that only leaves Etherial, if he is not going, then that defeats the purpose. yes a lot of pressure there Eth. And of course Watertrade too, who is still unsure. If Eth needs to spend packets hiring a camper again,it would just be cheaper to fly him up to Sydney. What I am saying is, if the numbers reduce to not justify the petrol ,time etc. To drive down to an interstate meet, with no interstate guest stars, Then we can always default to a camp meet at my farm, and fly Eth and his lady up if they are available. We could put in some of what our petrol costs would have been. Maybe entice some of the Newcastle crew out from the shadows. At least we will have total privacy, more relax time. Dry firewood. We may not even be able to sit around a campfire Fireban time of year, in a public place. So just sayin. A plan B is now avail, not to complicate things, or compete with plan A but to provide a simpler alternative to Sydney folks who have booked that weekend to party. I can see Toby, Hillbilly and I sitting in some random spot, in the rain again, looking at each other going, why did we have to drive 8hrs to catch up with each other.

Bloody EGA, they dont bung on a gig for ages, and then they put a runner against us. We baggsed that part of the future first !! At least they have a venue..........but we still have our spontaneity. Any other Melb peeps needing to EGA as well ? Should we all fly down there for a laugh? Back on topic, we are always welcoming of newbies, lurkers, young and old. Unless a mod tells us you smell fishy or you've been a dick.

My property is avail for a camp meet on the right date, a few commitments on the calender will get back with a date that suits.

Really nice, great post thanks.

Somebody else told me about the caves mentioned above, sounds pretty good to me. Even for an outing from our base camp.

Just a bump, yeah I still have that weekend free. My buddies wont be tagging along, so we can be all SAB like. Anyone heard of an actual gem spot yet? Toby has a birthday to celebrate.

Woops...misssed that, Hope you had a great day Sal,celebrating with that homemade Malt. Lots of enthusiasm for a meet up, its a good idea. Thankfully spring will be here before we know it.

Ok, just told friends at retreat about this camp, they cancelled the Dec retreat so we could all go. So I already have the Monday off , so dec 5 is all go, magic fire guy and his aya buddies are GO !!

That Dec 5th weekend I am assisting at a medicine retreat. Dec is hard for me to swing as work is busy and all leave is banned. Dont let that stop youse if that date suits most.

Hey Toast,very popular day for birthing SABers. Maybe its enough for a meeting party one year ! Anyhow have a great day bro.

I can vouch for your chai .....its the grouse. I miss you old mate, I look forward to that day when I can visit, and I can share in your chai ritual.

A search on google..........the computer says Eden http://getaway.ninemsn.com.au/fsaustraliansw/southcoast/8554683/a-night-of-eden-between-sydney-and-melbourne ......or Tarcutta 8hr41min either way http://www.tarcuttamotel.com.au/ ....Eden sounds nice,and as I usually weekend in paradise, and live in groovy bliss...Eden wouldnt take too much adjustment. Old mate incog can finally get that fishing line out and catch a feed.

Plenty of warning, and a warm time of year Im there.

Good ole Roopey, Still smoking anything that isnt nailed down. Great stuff, we all miss you bro, Colhawk.

Happy Birthday Yeti !! All well here, be great to get all the boys together soon.

There are no real instant cure alls in the plant world although old mate Iboga comes close. Mushrooms are well documented for their anti depressant abilities. Ayahausca will do the job, but will only work with regular serious relationship with that spirit. Just about everyone has psychic parasitic entities that are doing a good job of creating the misery in the world. They attach when vulnerable, like in your childhood. reckless drug/alcohol use, physical trauma, sex abuse, grieving etc As they thrive on negative energy they affect your choices,behavior,addictions,fetishes etc Some even try to kill us with accidents and suicidal thoughts. The decline of ritual, rites of passage, initiated shaman in the world, particularly in our materialistic culture, that doesn't even acknowledge the spirit world, means people have little opportunity to have these things identified and cleared. Dont feed your parasite. Move into the light, that way if you eventually want a shaman supervised plant medicine session it will be an easier job to detach it. So in the mean time, avoid alcohol,meat, violent entertainment, gossip, extreme porn....yeah all the fun things, but your mood will lift if you live imagining you can raise your vibration . Be compassionate and avoid any negative assumptions about anyone. Empathize, because they are just being misdirected by thier own entities. Most people are blindly running out of control.Obesity, addictions common outcome. For example alcohol based domestic violence is mostly entity based. A negative energy feeding pit. Spend quality time connecting to nature, like filling up on premium fuel. Choose the highest path thru all situations, the best food for your body. Change your choices to give yourself the best vibrational outcome, rather than your current choices which are giving you your depressed outcome. The light will eventually direct you to the path or medicine to get rid of your entity(s) It is cost free and easier than you think to transform into a different person if your not happy with how you are. Its a ridiculously awesome universe, with not the slightest reason to be depressed. You are a spirit, remember what you came here for. It wasn't to mope around. Ive never been to a gym but I imagine they are more ego /physical based rather than spirit emotion enhancing, Gardening is by far the best pursuit for human contentment. And that is what this forum is mainly all about.

Great job, that is going to inspire a lot of people to do some gardening. Welcome, you have found the right place.

A pic would assist us with the answer you seek. Myth says vines must be 5+yo. Many say pieces should be thumb thickness. Ive had a brew with root included and its very recommended for those with experience. Common sense says that the great plant mother will do you good in any case, young or old ,sublime or extreme. I say dont waste any, its not good for karma to kill a whole vine. With patience the roots will throw new shoots if cut into lengths and potted, as would have done vine cuttings. Use the dried leaves as sacred smudge, or in smoking blends. Make a brew of the vine, it wont kill you.Then give thanks and ask for forgiveness for killing it.

The staunch and the foolhardy. But our friendship is so strong we put up with anything to hang out and journey together. So many other random pickers going to that spot,HA ! not finding anything,its picked clean. But get off the track and you will find goodness. Nice Lactarious Risotto, hot shower, warm bed with a naked woman makes a nice contrast to 2 days standing around a smoky fire. Yep, new spot, warmer time of year, the novelty of subs has worn off for most of us. So good to see you all, thanks for your generosity guys. Staunch friends are the best friends.

Ah, Bread Filter, returning to the spot where you got your name. Yep same spot, Hillbilly is the man with the maps and directions. Be good to catch up.

another nasty LOW lurking around, could be another weather event on Thurs.....by all accounts
