At last today we were officially told how much we would get for our wrecked car. A bit more than we feared we would get but less what it has cost us to replace it.

I read with discust that the NSW NPWS are considering the adopting the Qld system of pre-booking on line & paying for campsites before your arrival. So more of buying a pig in a bag, why would you want to book some thing unseen. I see this as being another way of detering people from visiting these are...

Funny thing to think about, but . . . driving from Albany to Perth last week, I suddenly realised that I have not seen a hitchhiker for years. They used to be quite common. Are they still out there? Just idle curiosity. Must admit I would not pick anyone up these days. Cheers, Tony
