Seems we (_I_) jumped the gun?
Apparently Oprey has NOT put Cairns as a definite
thing.. "looking at options" is what the TB guy said.
If any of them have any sense they will pull the
options up at Gladstone, feed them and turn them
around..!

I hear this... tis the argument being put.
Still doesn't make it right these terrorists get to
tramp through our backyard.. and the dollars go
south, don't forget THAT caveat :-/
[insert grumbles too complex to post ]
Anyway.. it likely wont happen now.

Bloody terrorists here 365 days a year now.. thanks to
fskn TB..!

Where is that good ol' Aussie welcome..!
"Share a sheep.. share the bread".. or is that shear
the sheep and scoff the bread.. that furriner lingo is
often confusing.. even for me.

Nuppp. doan see 'em until they escape from the buses
and wander out here.. lost.. well they seem lost. Lots
of pointing and "ooooh"..."ahhhhh"... then there are
the cries that sound something like a feigned orgasm
when they tread on one of our local critters..!
Like never mind how the critter fares.. it's cries of
"get an ambulance"... is all you hear.
And like, out here..!.. yer gotta be kiddin'!

You heard of Skyrail?
http://www.skyrail.com.au/
When that thing first was mooted as a project
there were those who petitioned to have it built as a
"tube".. for "noise pollution" reasons.
Now today the local populace has largely abandoned the
area and bought blocks away from the route.
Why?
Cos they couldn't stand the constant drone of
"look at that fskn flies here"... coming from above.
That and the constant jet-stream noise as the flies
attack the chairs. .. it (vibrations) positively
"drums" in one's ears.
.. mheh heh
..enjoy your Sunday.. weather came up, up here better
than +20knots.
Seems fine today though :-)
