Charlie Morrison and friends old and young are getting ready for the best weekend of their year.
The duck shooting season begins tomorrow and it is a big deal in his Waverley area. After the day's shoot hunters will go back to Mr Morrison's "luxury" maimai in Village Settlement Rd.
It's hardly a primitive place ... You could call it a "man cave", says John Hooper, adding that it has "seen many a good night".
Yesterday three of the younger set were there to make sure the Sky TV connection was working again and have a few beers.
The maimai began as a small shed beside a pond 25 years ago. It's been extended four times and now has a bunkroom, shower, barbecue, bar, televisions, girlie pictures, easy chairs and a gas heater.
