So, about 5 minutes ago Evangelidiot stumbles through my front gate looking something a herd of feral cats spent the night toying with, covered in dust, dirt, scratches,etc, and tells me that he decided yesterday to "spend the afternoon and night as far out in the bushland as possible contemplating."
Only PROBLEM is that BEFORE he went on his "walk-about" driving a car of course, he forgot to fill the fuel tank up and ran out fuel sometime after driving around while TRYING to find his way back to the main road leading back to town.
His BIG question/request was, " Could you get your car and some fuel and drive me back out to get my car."
2 main problems there,
a) I have no car or motor vehicle of any kind shape or form, and,
b) when asked the location where he left his own vehicle, his response was, " I'm not sure, I just picked a dirt track the other side of the second creek crossing north of here, it lead off the main road and on into the bush so I followed until I found a nice spot with some trees for shade."
Stone the crows, that very vague description could point to and mean ANYWHERE within an approx. 180 degrees arc from North-East to North-West from my house and an area ranging in size of who knows how bloody big and virtually empty.
He left to go, shower, change clothes, get some water in bottles and ask, more likely BEG, what very FEW actual friends he has around here to help him to locate his vehicle.
If you were to ask me, he was bloody lucky that the temp. went down to about 17 Celsius o/night and has ONLY just reached the 30 degrees Celsius mark now PLUS there would still be some water-holes out there in the bush with drinkable, but NOT really tasty water still left in them.
Just did a quick scan through my maps of this area as well, my very ROUGH guess is that he MAY have ended up at place known locally Salt-water Creek about 37 miles North by North West of here in area locally known as Stone Horse Gully due to its somewhat striking rock out-crop that when viewed at around sunset/sunrise looks like a huge Stone Horse .
