New highbanker finally arrived

[jeffu]

Finally after a couple of months and millions of bucks, my new highbanker has finally arrived.

The amazing thing is that I ordered it on a Wednesday from Arizona, it was packed on the Thursday, picked up by DHL on the Friday and arrived in Sydney on Sunday, it then took three weeks to get customs clearance and a further week to Canberra. Amazing efficiency - NOT.

The saddest part of it all is that I won't be able to test it out until after the New Year.

I'll post some pics when it gets going, completely different to what everyone imagines a highbanker to be.

Have a great Christmas and brilliant New Year everyone. Catch up in the new Year.

Will be looking forward to some pics to see what it looks like, you have me intrigued. Shame it took so long to get through customs...

Merry Chrissy all.

Same here, I'm intrigued what it looks like also. By the sounds of it, you'll have to make up big stickers to put on the sides saying "Soopa Doopa Sloose".

That reminds me of an old bloke who used to visit Reedy Creek when I was living there in the caravan in the early 2000s. He had a river sluice & had painted "SLUICE BOX" in big letters on both sides.

If it's the one I'm thinking of Andy
it already has it in big letters
LOL
but I'll keep my mouth shut
just in case I'm wrong

Merry Chrissy to one and all

and you too Shivan

LOL @ Andy - classic
I just hope it wasnt a case of the poor old guy having a touch of dementia, which after todays dunking in the creek - I could do with some fairway flags that say "you dug here stupid"

Merry Christmas to all and have a Happy New Gear nugget . Good stuff.
