Crossing The Ditch
(Preview)
I heard a radio interview today with one of the two Sydneysiders who crossed the Tasman from Oz to NZ in a double Kayak. What a feat and adventure, listening on how they answered the call of nature was humorous to say the least. See link below for some detail. http://www.crossingtheditch.com.au/...

Need to get off the blacktop to see the real Australia
(Preview)
Elsewhere on this site I raised the above topic as much to start a debate as to state a view and to some extent supported the proposition. To invite wider participation I have moved the topic to this forum. Go for it folks, put your views (both sides) and lets have a friendly debate!
