    Interstate camping trip

    For a long time I have had discussions with sydney and Melbourne folk about a camp somewhere between the two cities, a location convenient for lots of people to go camping from VIC & NSW Kind of a mix between the fishing trip of old (Rutherglen) and the sub zero camping trip (oberon) It was thought that a nice warm time of year in a lovely spot.... Any thoughts???

    Interstate camping trip

    My first few SAB camping trips were in this area with trips to cactus country. It's pretty awesome. The home of the j series of cacti named after jim the owner. And psycho0 too. Incognito tried walking around the whole garden in bare feet. If my memory serves me, i rescued him by heroically carrying him piggy back.

    no offence taken I was actually kind of supporting your statement and explaining what I have seen with grafted plants. I have no reason to doubt you

    when they are grafted they do funny things and often don't express their true 'natural' states i.e. lots of pupping

    What did you do to your cacti today?

    I thought I found a contender to beat the 'number of seeds in one pod' prize but alas, only 54 seeds in this one ;) This may have been one generation from the original. But I wouldn't want to jump the gun and claim I have found a mutant super hybrid capable of producing thousands of seeds per season.... And may be the answer to world hunger.. Just sayin

    Uses of native saps and gums?

    turning it on a lathe I think would be hard. its very brittle and shatters very easily - if you were to go slow with good tooling it might be ok.

    Uses of native saps and gums?

    it takes a while to go rock hard and there is a trick to doing it to get a glass clear finish. if you dry it too quick it goes cloudy, too slow and the centre stays soft. I think slower is better maybe with drying in the sun later. I can report back when I have it figured out. while collecting it apart from the funny looks, people love to tell me about all the other uses they have for it. Its good for sealing your bark canoe ;)

    Uses of native saps and gums?

    I collect sap from this tree. it looks like this - lovely and red. I dissolve it in ethanol and it looks like this I can use it for all kind of things including adding insects to it drying it out and pretending it is amber. ;)

    If you can't find the info banman ask the doctors and nurses about all the complications and issues with the surgery. They will weigh up all factors and be able to put your mind to rest.

    aquarium plants

    Hi all, I bought my kids a fishtank with some goldfish because I feed my fish like I do myself, the fish outgrew the small tank and now have a nice big tank. ( their not getting another one!) they have been loving the big tank. As is my nature I would like to fill it with plants. does anyone have any cold water aquarium plants they want to trade? I have lights but no Co2. cheeers
