Went for a walk up around the Boulders area near Babinda, Nth Qld last year. The area is called the 'Devils Pool' but some wag has changed the sign. Anyone else got any funny or clever photos? Ian and Pauline

I am sure lots of people in this forum are either dreaming about the big trip, already done it or doing it as we speak.

Bought an Item on Ebay for $9.99, it arrived broken so I thought I'd get a refund... Ok easy peasy... WRONG I can have a refund if I pay for the return airmail postage of $19...... Naturally my feedback was a tad caustic.... Cut my losses on this one I guess....
