I mentioned earlier in the blog that I had put an add in the local paper to see if I could unearth some old tackle to sell on EBAY and hopefully help to pay for a few extra fishing trips! I managed to buy one or two bits, including a couple of Hardy reels and then everything went quiet! last Sunday morning however I had a call from a guy who had lost his father three or four years ago and having seen my add would I be interested in looking at his late fathers fishing tackle collection with a view to buying it? he was only five minutes down the road so I went along to see it, the rest as they say is history! I bought the entire collection but had to grope around for every penny I possessed in order to do so, he was absolutely delighted and after I had paid him the several thousand dollars he was asking he said "I have a lot more stuff in the garage if you would be interested?" I said I would but would need a little time to re-group!(find more money!) the photos on the blog shows part but not all of the first purchase! the other pic is of a little Bush Wallaby and its Joey feeding in the clearing at dawn this morning! today we will be spreading mulch until it gets too hot to work outside!
