One Good Day In North Queensland

[Bleedin Thumb]

Don't forget Cliff Rogers! !

Since they got rid of the tick gates he's their last line of defense isn't he?

There should be a warning sign at the border.

Bleedin,
yeah the toursit $$ and chasing thereof has wrecked the village centre and its atmosphere. Can't really see why toursits come anyway, you could transplant everything they see to somewhere else and it wouldn't really make a difference. It's still a great place to live, but my trips into the village are very short, just a quick visit to the corner store or the newsagency. There's been an absolute fortune spent on streetscaping the main street, paid for out of a toursit levy. Doesn't really benefit anyone other than the shopkeepers though, and most shops close around 2 when the toursits leave. The latest folly was thousands spent on streetscape lighting, which looks wonderful, but you could shoot a cannon down the main street after dark and be guaranteed not to hit anyone.

Now that surely is the unkindest cut of all - and this coming from a state which coined the expression of pi55 when describing what could loosely be described as beer.

Had some of that Vic Bitter tested at the lab - result came back as "This horse is unfit for work"

umm...you have no water down south, backflip beattie has resurrected the old plan of sending our water from our rivers so you can have some...

[Doughboy]

Now now you QLDers can't criticise VB (not that I drink it) when you guys have to name a beer XXXX, because ????? was taken..... and what is the Eumundi crud? Horse Dog Cat and Pig all mixed up and tinned!

The best thing you have going for you is the road south and Pauline Hanson, you sure you still feel lucky, huh punk?

From Canberra ay

Where in America is that exactly?

(guys? punk?)

[Doughboy]

That little bloke John W Hobbit takes a job and then can't be bothered to live where it is based.

Are we American-ised hell yes and I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing.

Still, Qld does have some things going for it. My mother-in-law lives up there and I love her when she is in QLD and I am in Canberra.
