My Blue Heeler wouldn't stand a chance at just 40kg, but he would certainly give his life trying.

Some Richard Cranium decided the 7th of April this year would be the time for us to wind out clocks back for Winter.
So we have another month of daylight saving, it goes well with the heat waves

Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) and Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC)The formation of the Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) was authorised by the government on 13 August 1941 to "release men from certain military duties for employment in fighting units." The AWAS was the only non-medical women's service to send personnel overseas during the war; in 1944 and 1945 AWAS served in both Dutch and Australian New Guinea.By 30 June 1947 all members of the AWAS had been demobilised.Facing a severe manpower shortage due to the demands of the Korean War and national service in a time of full employment, enlistment for the Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC) began in April 1951. In the late 1970s female soldiers began to be integrated into the Army at large and in early 1984, the WRAAC was disbanded.Image: AWAS who arrived in Lae from Australia wait for the trucks to transport them to the AWAS barracks at Butibum Road, New Guinea, 1945

Nice job on the gun carts. I like the inlays with the brass cases.
Thanks Yul, couldn't have done it without the forementioned U.S pard sending me the file of the cylinder spacing with dots to centerpunch.

Not sure what State these are made in, but they are now available in Australia.

Apparently this is another spot where English, or maybe Australian, differs from the American language.
I thought that a lolly was a slang term - a nickname if you will - for a lollipop.
I know that popsicles are called ice lollies, but it's basically a frozen lollipop. So that would make sense.
But researching Allen's lollies has led me to the conclusion that a lolly is any type of candy.
G'day Alpo
These are lollies or (singular lolly) in Oz -
These are what we call ice blocks -
If they are 'milky' like chocolate, strawberry or banana they are called 'Paddle Pops' -
We don't use the word 'candy' though its creeping into use with some of the younger generation.

Sorry pards, yep more photos.
Now our gun carts are hardly worthy of even having that moniker attached to them compared to Yul's handmade creations of art (and like a LOT of U.S pards Yul has corresponded with me for a couple of years on wheels and such sharing his knowledge and expertise and helping me out with plans ect and even offering to send me bits and pieces).
Our gun carts continuously get added to, Jenorado's and mine now has 4 x Vaqueros, 2 x Uberti '73's, Winchester 9422, 12g Boito, 12g Huglu Hammer gun, .45-70 Sharps and a Bond Snake Slayer.
As mentioned, over my time on the Wire I have has SO MUCH friendliness from U.S pards, its been an incredible experience. There has been a lot of packages going from Oz to the U.S and vice versa. The generosity and willingness of pards to help other pards in CAS is something that we have never experienced in any other shooting sports. Shooting at Aussie CAS matches everyone feels like family!
The decals on the cart have all come from U.S pards generosity. Also a U.S pard made me up on their computer '6 dots' evenly spaced like a six shooters cylinder so I could use a punch to make drill start holes for putting the .38 brass shells in the circles drilled out on the cart. On my metal lathe I bored out the aluminium handles on my rifle and pistol squib brass rods and put 12g shells in the end. The cart(s) are always getting updated with something or other!
I know we're in Oz, but we really feel like a part of a large international 'posse' and there's just NOBODY like cowboys and cowgirls!!!!!!!!!!

If the U.S pard who so kindly made those photos above into the 'oil paintings' with a computer program a couple of years ago happens to see them in this thread. Could you please reach out to me? Unfortunately, cleaning out my forum email box I have lost your details.

You ought to meet them in person some time, even better visiting with them.
Its on our bucket list Yul, it would be the most amazing experience to travel and shoot at some clubs in the U.S and visit some small town "Western" museums.

I bought 5000 Federal SPP for $180.00 last week from a gunshop, finally something cheaper here than in the U.S, I better get more because $60 a thousand in the U.S is gonna equate to a lot of pain down here!
