More than a century after he enlisted in World War I, a young Ngarrindjeri soldier was at last brought home to rest at Raukkan 24 March 2017. Mack Miller served on the Western Front and died from tuberculosis in the Spanish flu quarantine Hospital in the exhibition building in Adelaide in 1919.

My sons were on a fishing trip in the Northern Territory last year and there were some Aboriginal kids jumping off the pier and there was a croc around that size. The kids would throw a big rock in and the croc would go after that and they'd jump in the other side and quickly clamber out. Sons said to a local that they couldn't believe what they were watching and got told that the kids do it all the time.

Aussie in Rome

Dave I did a search about a year or more ago where I saw that you mentioned doing that in a thread. I did take some of the moulding dags off with a sharp knife and put the barrel open down on a sheet of wet & dry on some plate glass.

You can see how much mine has stretched (I'm just holding that with my finger for the pic) its made it virtually impossible to screw the lid on -

And ordered, there was one sitting in a parts bin out back and will be in the mail in the next hour and hopefully get it before Good Friday. I'll just have to order one of these yearly and add the expense in the 'fun' column. Had the tumbler roughly 2 years and probably the gasket started acting up 6 months ago (it gets used a LOT). The main importer of Lyman (not Safari they are resellers) said they do send out a lot of these as replacements to stores. I will make a template out of cardboard with the new one though and see if I can buy some flat sheet to give cutting out a few a go. ....

Seen them take sheep, never seen them try to take a full grown roo.

Just on the phone with Safari as I type, there checking in the warehouse for me ....fingers crossed.

When I add to cart though this comes up -

Think I might have to try, the original is 3mm thick.

Don't worry......we know you guys are those 'funny' cousins

I have a badly leaking Hornady Cyclone rotary wet tumbler, I've contacted Lyman and they wrote back to use Vaseline around the rubber gasket/lid. This caused a big mess with pins stuck in the Vaseline and now either the Vaseline has reacted to the rubber or its from me trying to screw the lid on as tight as possible but the gasket is so stretched and oversize I can't screw the lid on as it won't catch the threads. This is one best things I've ever added to my reloading room, except for the darn leaking problem. Unfortunately the rubber gasket Part # LY-7631451 is currently out of stock with the Australian importer and months away for the next delivery. Has anyone else had this problem with theirs?
