For every tearful story, there are three others guaranteed to bring a
smile of hope to one's face. AND!! If one is a total hardcase, there
is always a koala story as a backup!
Nothing sells a newspaper like a thirsty koala!
And this, from a true Dutch Gentleman, who considers Australia his
"second home".

"lucky" we don't have to.
I am interested in the numbers of people reported as refusing

more than they. Never mind "they" only have the clothes they
are standing in as well.

The Greenies might lose a bit of ground with their future arguments of
creating National parks and letting people live in them... doh.

Hearts and wallets were again wide open this morning at collection
points down town this morning. The Westpac bank had a line up down the
street of people waiting patiently to donate.
