Just got back from a month long trip to central/west NSW, across to the cenral coast, back along the coast home to Carngham. Wanted to send my disabled brother who is in a nursing home a postcard, but didn't see any anywhere! Seems like they are a thing of the past! Collo.

Monty Python Tree video, the reality of pretty much of all our long term valued friends. Very sad, but just how it is. I have no qualms of my inheritors using a petrol leaf blower (I have a battery blower if they don't chuck it out) to get their hands on $4m. If their choice is to party so be it (no differenc...

Make no mistake about this stuff.. It is out of control in our community doing so much harm, It kills, It destroys families, ruins relationships, The police fear people who are high on ice.

Wish I put more effort in studying paper & cardboard planes in primary school. Waxed paper or cardboard is very difficult for radar to see. Paper planes vs $50m metal planes. Paper wins!

Yep, 31/8/23 is the last day of winter. Just woke up to very thick fog and freezing cold After a thunder storm last night. It's nice to know I will now be waking up to sun shining, nice and warm with clear blue skies from tomorrow. Enjoy but keep safe out there everyone.

Many country towns that I visit in my travels are slowly dying, and many of their resudents are trying hard to make a living.

At most campfire gatherings of GN's the main topic of discussion is the up-coming Referendum, commonly called the Voice Referendum. To me as a moderately educated person, I believe that the debate on how to comprehend and fill out Ballots (without offering advice on the " No or Yes" question) is a val...

Until today I didnt realy put much thought into this new phenomenon of people being forced to live in alternate accomadation.
