Great posting guys - needs it's own dedicated thread - 'View From My Office / Hotel This Morning'

Yes. Mods. Let's do this. A great idea. Should be a pinnie.

Unique building. Worth a visit - Worth the coin ... not so sure.

Well if it had one way gates - once they're in they couldn't get out......

A bit like those fly traps. Certainly gets rid of those pests.

Speaking of gates, someone created free parking at a local car park yesterday. That boom gate isn't supposed to be pointing towards the road like that.

Has any one tried "A Guide to Car-Camping in Walmart Parking lots ? Try that on google!
Our friends are in the US and their son loves bunking down at night for free in any Walmart parking lot as it costs his favourite price.
I hope this does not warp too many minds.

Can anyone shed anymore light on this?

We've got an rv for part of our US venture and the concept of boondocking/Walmart camping keeps coming up!

The Google responses give a bit of detail on where to park and what to do/not do.

Just make sure you wear your airline PJs when you head to their toilet and don't forget to buy the beer you drink in the car park from WalMart. Final tip would be to remember to put your empty beer cans/bottles in the trash can.
It is free parking if you don't misbehave.

I just spent the morning bringing my AFF Flight Tracker up to date. I realised that with the demise of passport stamps, and the fact that I don't keep records of my trips, Flight Tracker is going to be the best way for me to walk down memory lane. I sat in bed, cuppa and toast at the ready, with old passports (and hubby's memory) and pieced together all my travels to date. I was surprised how quickly the segments added up and the miles accrued, even with a long hiatus looking after little ones and the omission of a number of SYD-WGA-SYD and WGA-MEL-WGA flights. Thanks AFF for this great tool. I do now use Tripit too.
Looking forward to adding significant miles in the coming years. Fi

(edit - can't get my new total to show in the public my travels, should be 108 sectors, 206026 miles, 19 days 9hrs)

I find it updates sometime during the next 24 hours. Don't worry about it too soon.

I love that lagoon...God forbid Clive ever gets his hands on that, like Coolum, and wrecks a great resort
