Those of you that get out and about and travel our great nation would have come across a small sticker placed in some very remote and out of the way
places. The small sticker is in the shape of a fish with the words "The Carp" inside the fish symbol. Does anyone know who is this phantom sticker placer, as he does get around. Perhaps we should give him a pile of EO stickers instead.
Cheers
Stephen

Hi all,
The Carp (don't remember his real name) was here in early may this year, with a group of mates in 4wd's & dirt bikes.
They couldn't cross the Simpson due to Eyre creek being flooded at the time so they grabbed a lot of supplies ie: booze & headed out into
the desert for a few days.
They had a great time, broke a couple of the vehicles & a bike & came back & stayed here for a couple of nights.
When I asked about the CARP sticker, he answered that his mates have been calling him that for years because carps will eat any sort of rubbish! So he had the stickers made up & has been sticking them all over the place since then.
We got them to place donation in the RFDS box before he stuck one in the pub.

Hi Jeff
At least you have spoken to him in the flesh. He must certainly get around, as we have seen his stickers for a very good number of years. They are small and make all those that see them wonder "Who or what is The Carp"
Thanks for that.
Cheers
Stephen
