I filled the saucepan with boiling water (not cold as it was still very hot) - added some bicarb soda and when it started to bubble added some vinegar. (Be careful it doesn't go over the top).

Yes, I had the pleasure of meeting Chaslib, aka Charlie and Libby, at Murwillumbah yesterday.

Then we had lunch at the RSL in Mur'bah. I'd bro...

On the foreshore near the boat ramp - nice big grassed area - not listed in Camps 7 at all, but spoke to a lady who was staying there - she is very happy staying there, as w...

Gday... Given all the positive hoohaa recently on the forum about Tassie being such a fantastic place and a 'must visit' destination, I thought I would check out the pricing should I decide to travel there.
