Maybe it's part of a campaign to slow the spread of McDonalds to the outback.

Not me KJ, never been in the Simpson, not on my bucket list either.   Bit of a mystery that one, who has that sort of money to spend on a prank like that in such a remote place?   And what sort of message is it meant to portray? 

Hope it isn't someone playing around with photoshop or something to suck us all in ????

Hiya Vic - how is the plumbing and health going????

We're house sitting on a 200 acre life style block with a private jetty onto a huge river at Batemans Bay. Owned by a poor Hobart farmer lol.

If we need a quick meal, its generally the good old fish and chips. Works well for us, but getting terribly expensive

We often visit Maccas for a coffee and scones jam and cream.
Oh!!! Yes we probably eat their burgers once a year just to remind us as to why we do not support this section of their business.
Anyway they say
" THAT THE BURKAS ARE BETTER AT HUNGRY JACKS."

"Yep"  can see why the local Natives don't want a Nuclear Dump out there in the Desert,

What with Macca's  and a Dump, what a stinking mess that would make if it all blew up !!
