That sounds a great trip, i was looking at doing a week and it wasn't far short of 5 grand. Mind you probably wouldn't need to learn to shoot on that trip.

Wow! What an offer! I fish, I shoot, I camp, I back B doubles everyday, I'm getting fat so stuff all food for 5 weeks would do me some good. Might need my little black friend (T3 Tikka) for the crocs. I think the timing is the only thing that knocks me out of that trip. Would you be likely to do another trip next year?
Would you go on a shorter trip so you can get to know the person your going with?
Good luck on ya trip look forward to seeing the pics.
Cheers Alex

Yep I normally go twice a year....naturally you would go on a few trips first to understand each other...

ive done stacks off shorter trips in the past but you miss out on so much rushing

Now I like fishing places that hardly get fished.

Bugger, that rules me out unfortunately (I head off November 10th). Good luck mate, very envious of the lucky person who fills the spot.

Geez Mick, that's an awesome offer mate! Living off the land far away from civilisation, guided by a knowledgable bloke like yourself over 5 wks would be a trip of a lifetime no doubt. Not for the faint hearted though. Bloody hell, if I could get the leave I'd be all over it. Love your style. Best of luck with the applicants mate.
