Good on him. Cant be a real big fan but as he had to read it from a script...all the reporters are doing it now. Someone will probably complain and he will be fired tomorrow... I saw ACDC once and the train driver put on Runaway Train (loud) over the PA...we all liked it.

Yes I thought there was some benefit to the Go Card, I just tap it and dont care about the amount, recharge it when its low. I only use it on occasional visits but if you do it daily it pays to research each leg I guess. Kinda related... Does anyone actually pay for the Gold Coast Tram, or in...

My last visit they were in the middle of changing it to accept all major CC...but I also catch the ferries a bit and these didnt do CC last time so I kept the Go Card. And does it do a daily/weekly cap if you use multiple times/modes on the CC's?

Been going for a longtime since after covid I think. I have used it several times. Bit annoying using paper ticket or showing phone to guard but it is half price. Sometimes a mate drops me off but Im still no worse off. One thing I notice is all the crossrail works are on the weekends when I...

Yes - I wanted to go there but ran out of time and money... Have done some South Carolina but veered onto the Blue Ridge Parkway so not much of North Carolina.... Next Trip maybe.

Nice pix. Went to the festival 10 years ago, dont remember that many foreigners at all...actually do remember eating at McDonalds (not a fan of noodles and rice etc) and being surrounded by schoolgirls practicing English on us. It seems the secrets of Hokkaido are out, you the third person...

Think its part of the govts post cyclone Tourism help thingo...get $$ of reef tours etc as well. Only limited numbers so get in quick if you want it.

As a Business you are there to make money for yourself first, second and last...IF you can give good service and keep people happy great! If you are losing money the doors shut...very simple. If YOU want to go out on a Public Holiday why should I have pay more on a random Tuesday? Christmas...

Had the Booking.com fakers cancel my booking in a big city, but not a chain hotel, in the US recently, I was only about an hour away from checking in anyhow so just went there anyway and they said NO it wasn't us, my booking was still there and honoured. At a different place (small one horse...

I usually flick through them and have them finished by take off....but they are usually full of things I dont want ($5000 clothes) or cant afford ($1 million cars) or sometimes chewing gum...

It was 30000 cubic metres of dirt not tons... Then probably another hour from Palm Cove to City in the back to school traffic... I havent done the drive recently, just quoting what the paper says to expect. But it was definitely busier on the roads this morning.

Capt Cook Hwy, coastal road to Port Douglas opened yesterday, one lane sections with traffic control, stop/go and continuing roadworks etc. 30000 tons of dirt had to be moved, as in trucked out and dumped elsewhere....greenies said you couldnt push it into the sea...I wonder who stopped mud...

I went DOWN from Silver to Gold as well today...did use Accor a few times recently, got some early check ins and the free beer...was good for free!

Todays update - Capt Cook Hwy will reopen 1 lane under traffic control through the landslides on Jan 20th. Single lane on the Palmerston Hwy predicted by mid February. Also BOM predicts another 500mm of rain this weekend...so treat this info as a PR stunt for Albo's and Giggles visit up here.

Im sure they could have run more tours if they had more staff. That is still the major problem up here. It was calm weather so probably locals taking advantage for reef trips as well. There is a road out of Cape Trib now...a one lane goat track that you drive while escorted by traffic control...

Plus now PD is over 2 hours away...lol Have only visited CC's once, Im no food snob and had no complaints but it is popular. So is Roccos Bar at Riley more for the views than the food but I think. Despite been a couple years old now, all the Crystalbrook places are "new", for us locals who go...

Visiting Brazil and Chile a couple of times paid for my Pommy passport. The other Aussies on the tour were not as lucky.

Maybe the Airlines should start serving a spoonful of cement in the food.... Its no different than painting the plane with YES or pride stripes, or if the guy next to you is wearing a Collingwood shirt or a Holden hat. You might not agree with it but you are not in any Danger from it.

teenagers on checkouts? no lines at robots? What planet you live on? I need to get there. FYI My home Australian airport has manned check in counters for Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar, there are robots too but as QF Gold I just go to the Business line and jump the lineup. No difference at security...

If you travel a lot, you know the procedure and it shouldnt take longer. Its the once a year or foreign language type (or dare I say elderly as well) that have no clue and slow it up... You must be lucky if you have never been in a queue for the robots. Ironically if you travel more you get...
