I wrote earlier this year about a pair of Stone Curlews residing in the park. This season they had a bit of a clumsy start to the mating time. To start with they couldn't decide on the best location, and when they did some gherkin pinched the egg. The noise of protestation was deafening, leaving the pair...

A warning for those of you who may be regular Bunnings customers. This one caught me by surprise. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or you...

While the park itself isn't on the top of the tree the aspect is absolutely breathtaking. Crystal clear wate...

G'day, Reading the article on the front page reminded me that we spent a very pleasant week at the Kookaburra Caravan Park in Busselton WA in 2007. We found the park to be very nice, clean and close to the shops etc. There were plenty of Possums there at that time and I remember they had a ball jumping onto o...

Daddy's Poem Her hair was up in a pony tail, Her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, And she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, That she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, If she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; She knew ju...

That is an interesting but not at all unexpected view on South Australia in today's editorial. As a South Australian it pains me to agree but in reality I have to. There really is nothing happening here at all because of a small minority of "Greenie doooo-gooders". We have absolutely no ne...

We spent a lovely day today driving up around Mt Tambourine, Qld. The scenery and views were spectacular on the way up. First stop was The Tom Thumm Gallery and winery. We talked with a very nice artist, John Palmer, who was happy to explain not only his art, but also the shells and coral that he framed....
