Thought I would start a new thread as Lois' seems to have disappeared off the page. Has anyone been to her site yet, I wondered how she was going with all the rescued animals. I intend calling in on her when I get up that way probably around October, on the way through to Dougies at Chinchilla. Which will be...

Hi all, Has anyone driven the road to Newnes lately? Last time we tried it we encountered really bad corrugations which gave our little van a hard time. I understand that part of the road up to the new resort has been fixed, but I am wondering about the rest. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi We're presently in Alice and thinking of heading for the peninsular for a few weeks. Can anyone let us know how wet/cold it is at present. We'd like to be able to do some fishing.

Probably didn't spell that right but you get the meaning I would think. Yes, it is with regret that we are saying OoRoo to Doug tomorrow morning.

I am so p--------------ed off!!! Too many Yank words creeping in to every-day language. The last one to get me this angry, was CUP-CAKES, instead of PATTY-CAKES. A minute ago, DOMINOES' PIZZAS advertised Pizzas with AUSSIE GROUND BEEF!!! What is wrong with MINCED BEEF, or just plain old MINCE !...
