That is all they are telling me!! Wish I had a picture of the looks on their faces after I pulled a hand cannon out from under my jacket
Wish someone would of warned me before I ended up there! That it is not a tourist friendly town."
Things can be a little different over there! LOL

Not just over there either.
10 years ago a group of us did a 3 night paddle around the back creeks of Chowilla up near Renmark in SA.
About an hour into the first stretch upstream from the old Customs house at Murtho to the entrance to Chowilla creek on the Murray and this bloke in a tinny comes screaming up to us, pulls a shotgun and asks us what we're doing there.
We were ****ting ourselves and just said we were going camping around the area.
He said to make sure that's all we were doing and left us to it.
This was at the height of the drought we experienced 10yrs ago, turns out the local farmers were a little sensitive about their illegal pumps drawing from the Murray in the area.
