Just as well you don’t have any “older” AFF members with you. I couldn’t get up again from those!

There were two older ladies who did it and had that exact concern!

Why are you wasting your time there - especially if you are on the way out of PER?

It was actually pretty good. Perhaps you should try it. You too can look youthful like me

 

[Daver6]

Slightly concerned to see my office held together with duct tape. Oh well, at least I have champagne! QF9 departing PER Thursday evening.

I’m not missing out on the good life though

Horrible, borehole Club World seats. Glad I've never had that middle pair!

We were there last week for dinner. Excellent food. I would say better than Rick’s original in Padstow (that we visited in April!).

We had some oysters to start but I’d already shucked 2 doz local oysters in our hotel before dinner (except 3 doz Narooma for $30 v $6 ea at Bannisters). Still all good!

We usually shuck our own also but didn’t bring the shucking knife so have to rely on others this time

Mountain bike trails down Mt Owen, near Queenstown, Tas. This one called " Natural Selection".

Another of the new trails. They are all over the joint. As a miner, I wonder how this environmental damage, in high rainfall area, on land never before impacted, had been approved.


If I did this for exploration drill access :

1) I wouldn't be allowed ( would have to helicopter gear in and out);
2) If it was allowed, i'd have to lodge a hefty bond, remediate it totally immediately after, monitor and report on it for 5 years and get an army of Consultants in to say that I hadn't impacted the local spotted handfish or whatever.

Double environmental standards? ( normal- ho hum)
