How very remiss of me, here I have been surfing away on this grouse forum and haven't even said G'day yet. So, G'day everyone.

WHAT CONFUCIUS DIDN'T SAY Man who wants pretty nurse, must be patient. Passionate kiss, like spider web, leads to undoing of fly. Better to be pissed off than pissed on. Lady who goes camping must beware of evil intent. Squirrel who runs up woman's leg will not find nuts. Man who leaps off clif...

We're wondering if anybody can recommend a brand of vacuum flask that actually keeps water and soups hot for long periods. Years ago Thermos used to be a household name in reliable vacuum flasks but the last two we have purchased have not kept liquids hot for more than 2 hours. We've had to return them t...

Am still working and spend all day from 8.30am to 5.30pm staring at a computer. Consequently, I'm not real interested in turning my computer on at home after work, and I rarely do it on the weekend. Turned it on today as i had a few photos to post in the competition. Have a good weekend everyone. Ross ...

G'day all, I have ventured over into this forum (and website) as I have only recently found out about it. I am a retired Police Officer and since retiring in 2007(after 26 years doing that job), have been to Broome twice (from Sydney) and taken a couple of different ways up there and back. Recently trav...
