G'Day friends, just got a flier re the above - it's in Qld but don't know about other states. I hope this doesn't contravene any rules.

Listening to weather reports this morning seems as if the whole of Australia is bracing for some really hot summer weather. Please take care everyone. Seems we are heading for conditions similar to 4 years ago when the bushfires in Victoria were at their worse. Whilst it is good to know about the extre...

I had this sticker made for Lulu, and on advise from GN's, had a male name added to it so that I don't 'advertise' the fact that I'm a female travelling alone. By the way, Mike is the monkey that travels with me. So look out for me now! Woops! sideways Mike!
