Maybe should pay?
(Preview)
I see the 3 Belgian backpackers who phoned triple zero and started a ground and air search forgot to let authorities know that they had rescued themselves and were travelling again. I'm certainly glad they're safe but not letting authorities know is unacceptable. what do others think? Dave

I'm extremely disappointed in the way fish & chips shops have gone downhill in our fine country, the quality is shocking with most fish being Hoki, if you get a good grade it's okay but usually is not worth going back for another round.
