    Well guys this was the trip I done in April 2024 after I had fixed all the issues on the 80.
    I made a spontaneous decision to come back to Sweet Water Lodge "AKA Silver Water Hut" and do a clean up that no doubt saved this hut from being overgrown and lost for ever.
    Once the track is overgrown it would have been the end of this hut for sure.

    Top Job BT nice little spot trust others will look after it now it’s on the map through your channel I’ve put peppermint oil in my kit as well and keeping the bonnet open at night the colder weather should get rid of them now ?????

    • @Bush-Tv
      @Bush-Tv  Před měsícem +1

      Cheers mate 👍
      Yeah let's hope it's looked after and not destroyed by fools.
      It's a really good spot down there plus the Jamieson River is magic.
      I'm going to make up some little containers to place under the bonnet but thought about it and put the oil down on the tyres.
      I figured that's the entry point they would have had to access haha.
      That clip of the Bush rat was in Jamieson hut about 3 weeks ago

    Is there something you can put in your engine bay to prevent rats eating the electrics? Like something to spray on the wires so they wont bite them? You are not the first person I've seen to have them gnaw at the wires. There must be some deterrent!
