My better half Joan is off doing some crafts and I thought I'd surprise her and do the laundry. Now the machine is flowing over with suds and some beeping alarm is going off like mad. I've turn the power off but have not idea what to do. Guess I'll start by cleaning the soap off the floor.

Need a couple of small signs for the Chinchilla Free Camp to help those wanting to find the place. Have given details to Chinchilla Visitors Centre who have suggested putting up a small sign in a couple of places, so would appreciate any help from our members.

Are there any wavers out there? A few years ago when I travelled round Aus with my pre school kids I put a little book and a game together called The Desert Wave. I am now in the process of updating it all and I wondered how many other people have a favourite wave. Regards Shaun
