Enjoy Queensland Mr Baron. On the way up, you pass me on the Sunshine Coast on your port side, and guess what......the other, starboard, on your way home. Amazing isn't it. Give me a wave.

Cheers.

Spent 6 months on the GBR - it's just beautiful- if you go right up take the midgie cream ( sandflies) are ferocious.

Check that out. ACTUAL kangaroos on campus - or are those the students? My school has um...parking 3 miles from the building which I attend.

No snow here, ever. And yes, those are genuine kangaroos, and yes.....they actually live in the area where that Campus is. One of those knocked one of my Cabs out of existence a couple of years ago.

Just finished winter here ... lowest daytime temp was about 62 degrees fahrenheit ... it's certainly a tough life for some of us

I can relate. My mother wanted me to go to an all girls Catholic School (Saint Mary's College at Notre Dame)

Beautiful breathtaking campus full of the richest, snobby, whitest Catholic girls I ever seen. Highly conservative, too. The place is Herbert's wet dream. And, it's in Indiana. I know, it could be worse and be in Wisconsin but no one in their right mind ever consciously moves to Indiana.
