The town hasnt changed much at all. Still not big enough for a taxi service. Pubs still awesome and its still one of the prettiest towns in the world.
And yes u can still get a good pie.

I was there about this time last year, had a couple of pies, a couple of drinks in the pub and watched the Targa Norwest stages. Yep, a very pretty town.

I wouldnt mind trying the Giant Freshwater Lobster (yes im aware of the fine.) It was a normal tassie food once and i havent got to sample it. Have u tried that, and if yes what did u think?

Cant remember i was a kid but yeah i have eating them me an my gran father use to catch em bit of roo meat in a stocking.

I got a few mates that poch them they recon every time they go they see like 5 or 6 of the fkers so they cant be that rare.

$70 a kilo?.....faaark! Back in the early 70’s we’d launch the tinnie in the Carlton river, drop a few cray pots n go flathead fishing, pick the pots up on the way back n live on fresh crayfish and homemade coleslaw sambo’s for lunch for a week. Flathead tails for dinner.

A relo was saying the French are huge buyers of Crays now.

I pay $30 a kilo at Xmas time off a mate of a pro...still got a 3 kilo one in freezer costs $90
The average joe can not be expected to pay $150 a kilo cos that's wat it gets up to in the shop where I live

they would slowly be getting their numbers back up, introducing Trout probably helped. They just grow so slow.
I'd rather be caught with an elbow in the car instead of one of those.

agreed. They’re trying to rebuild stocks so they can turn it in into a sustainable industry after stocks getting decimated

apparently you can. I personally wouldn’t especially if the system gets even a bit warm.

Lucky you got a contact m8. $150 a kg is way too much.

The Canna Aqua goes well in recirculating systems.

Was gonna go canna. But house and garden you dont use as much.
So went that way. Plus its like half the price for the full line.
