bushpig 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Yeah, Spent much time there Soub? Spud, no, actually I didn't hear much talk of it. I think it has just become accepted and people don't bother mentioning it anymore... Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I've spent a couple of weeks in Albany. Had some friends who lived there. I've never been when it hasn't rained. I've done a lot of camping along the south coast, mainly at Hopetoun. Lovely spot with a nice pub and excellent fishing. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Sweet! Love that whole stretch of coastline. Your experience of Albany sounds like my experiences of Melbourne! Always bloody cold and wet! Ever hit the Stirlings? That woulda been an interesting neck of the woods for you I reckon. I hiked/camped along that ridge 6 or 7 times with a good mate. Awesome spot.

soubriquet 0 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Yep. The problem was that my ex- didn't like heights. I've been camping just with my boys, but it's tricky as a single parent with 5 & 8 yo. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Bushy, you get any waves when you were back mate? My eyes are still ****ed. Getting better, but still bloody red. Its disgusting. Dont worry, I got some really sick picks of my eyes and they look evil. I should had them like this at Halloween. We saw the Irrawaddy dolphins today in Kratie (Cambodia). Pretty cool. Glad to see them before the become extinct as it seems there are less than 100 left. Will be heading down to Penom Pehn for a day or 2. You guys know how I hate big cities before heading up to Siem Reap/Angkor Wat and meeting up with some mates. Link to post Share on other sites

Wow that was random, I was just discussing with my girlfriend if we should go down Laos into Cambodia via Kratie and realised this thread was open on the screen! I must have subconsciously seen it. How are you finding it on that stretch of the Mekong? Looks beautiful. Is it raining heaps? Cheers CB Link to post Share on other sites
