YES I am well aware of Blackall's geographical location - the same 3 cartons I want to send to Blackall will cost me $180 to get them delivered to any Rockhampton address with Toll Ipec who have quoted me $470 to deliver to Blackall - hence the query.

In a past life we processed 1,000's of cattle out of the Blackall region - was always a standard catch cry in the Livestock Office any time we killed stock from Blackall - 'There's coughKALL at BLACKALL' - anybody here been to Blackall? I rest my case.

Yes, I gave attended a B&S Ball there (and in most regional Qld towns) in my youth. You're correct about the catch cry

Anybody know a carrier in or around Blackall that might be able to deliver 3 cartons from Cheltenham MEL to Blackall? Currently getting quotes bw $350 and $470 - daylight robbery!

From memory it didn't have a taxi service either or if it did it had to be pre-booked.

The Qantaslink employee gave me a ride into town.

I broke my iPhone case yesterday. So went to a few shops today to seek out a replacement. I want the same type and they are commonly available. All places I saw them were asking $24.95 for it. So a quick search on eBay and many China and HK sellers have the exact same thing for under A$3 including shipping. So I have order 4 of them for under $12 so I have some spares. Just need to wait the 2-3 weeks for deliver. While I would like to support the local businesses, at almost 10 times the price its difficult to justify the support.

Baileys nice 'n cheap! Just in time for Winter.

BWS in QLD have Feeneys Creme Brulee on special for $17, thats $8.50 a bottle if you use this voucher http://www.bws.com.au/media/mailout...311_WC2603_Feeneys_MothersDay_Voucher+(1).pdf

Its spirit based, not wine based like other cremes.

[amaroo]

An interesting test if the property didn't settle is in store for one of the Block properties, I have a feeling if resold it's value will drop.

Correct - super yummy!

Which flavour was it? They did Guava on master chef all those years ago but I think it was nectarine when we went.
The meals are great. Did you get the steak that looked like a cute little chocolate cake?

Just print it out, no issues in greyscale for the few I have used.

is it any good...?

 

[markis10]

Feenys? Pretty close to Baileys and better than the wine based alternatives.

 

[JohnK]

Just when you think you have it all worked out....

 

[Cruiser Elite]

is it any good...?

Having tried it previously my firm advice is stick with Baileys. FWIW I think std price for 700ml Baileys in Aldi is $22.99.

Is it possible a very young lounge worker is flirting with me or just being nice?

Huge smile everytime she sees me and starts a conversation all the time. Probably just being nice to me but would she approach each regular visitor this way? Perhaps I am not as stuffy as some of the regulars. boomy what's your experience?

P.S great to have this type of relationship with lounge staff. Ask for 2 vodkas before flight and get 2 doubles. :shock:
