Central QLD "Fishies" get together!!! PICS ADDED

[wazboyne]

Chaps
Sorry i couldnt make the weekend, always seem to have an excuse. I have changed jobs and am moving out to Middlemount to earn some of those coal dollars.
Between moving family, work, house and fish i have got two big weeks  ahead.
Dissappointed i cant get to see your setup Lloyd.
I intend to come and see you in Blackwater Andrew in the new year. Will be back in touch.
Some food for thought, a couple of mates and I are hiring a truck in the early months of next year to head south and buy a number of new tanks, if anyone wants tanks, stands etc picked up let me know. if anyone else is heading that way in the mean time let me know and we can work out some freight costs if you have some spare room for some tanks.
Have a good day
Regards
Warren

The company was, as usuall good to catch up with.

And the food was  delicious!

Agree with you there Mick, awesome setup! Gives a newcomer like myself something to aim for. Lovely fish, many I would like to add to my own collection, although not sure about Andrews sugestion that I should be keeping Malawis. The Tangs are keeping me busy enough at the moment, (and broke enough!). Thanks guys and girls for the day, look forward to returning the favour sometime in January. Will check the roster and see what dates we can organise it for.
Thanks again.
Dave.

[trofius]

:o

Thast not good to hear about the ute Andrew, i always fear the skiipies will ruin a trip for us, but at the fear of jinxing myself i think we have good skippy karma , after raising so many!

As for the stroms, it rained almost the entire trip back home for me, and very heavily around Wowan, stopped about Westwood.

As soon as i get the garage sorted, and get Married 8O , i think i will have a gathering here...end on march, maybe in April....!

Well team,

It was a bloody superb get together, PICS NOW ADDED BELOW.

More food than you could poke a stick at Lloyd, and great to see you Mick, as well as Dave & Kylie, travelled the furtherest out of the lot of us for sure.

Fish we absolutely superb, you'll have to pop up here for a day lloyd in the week before Christmas and i'll give you a cd with all the literally 1000 or so photos i ended up taking :)

It was a superb day and here is looking forward to the next- expect piccies very soon.

Andrew.
ps- ute in in rocky now, skippy did a good job so wont have her back until late jan/feb probably. them's the brakes.

Warren, Middlemount hey....my goodness. that's pretty good champ, a comfy 1hr 45 min drive to here via Wilpeena or about the same from Dingo.

Before you go tearing down to Brisbane champ, come to Blackwater and see if any of the tanks i have lying around suit. Hareysfish (scott) is selling up in Gladstone too so a good fish room there, and here's the tip, come about 12-14months from now, Lauee's Fish Emporium :) might be in need of a move, as we're thinking of heading o/s for a couple of years. So just think all your forum users, who i have driven the 1000km's or more and hauled back car, trailer and truck loads of tanks...damn that is a lot of tanks :)

Super VC10, a new addition to his display 8ft, very nice indeed.

Cheers,

Andrew.

[davez104]

Good photos Andrew, but there appears to be someone missing. Can't quite think who it is :wink:  , So how about it??

Dave & Kylie.

[trofius]

I agree Dave he puts up probably the worst pic ever of me, on the phone laughing, eyes shut, looking scruffy.... :oops:

 lol, but none of Andrew.....there should be one to document his tyre changing skills!  How is the fore head, will you have a mark?

But yep nice pics of the fish.....pitty that one of the moliro doesnt show his real colours..... 8O

[mile]

Wow, thats a Moliro.

how old is he anyway...?

I'm so tempted to super-feed my moliros now  :D  cant wait till they get big  :D  :D

Milenko

[fishtraderlau]

Hello team,

Well, unfortunately there is not one photo of the missing person so no photographic evidence to say Andrew was there, other than this one of the way home, although andrew still isn't in the picture....evidently the camera was never in anyone else's hands to take a picture of me!

This would have to be one of his absolute favourites.. Karilani Copper

So there you have it everyone, what a absolutely superb weekend in Moura it was, great time, great company and truly great fish!

looks like we might get a piccy of me up after the next get together hey, and Mick, only photos i took of you were while on the phone and that's the pick of them :)

Cheers all,

Andrew.
ps- Milenko...they are one hell of a fish hey- Lloyd really is one of the best tropheus breeders to rival others for sure.

[Anakist]

They are some nice whiting fellas!!!!

 :lol:

James
