    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Of course. How else would we get our produce to market?. Here's a photo of our family outing to the Gold coast, a couple of weeks back.

    Here's a photo of our catch, from a fishing trip to the Logan river. A real bugger to fillet.

    Crocs in the Logan, Bob? Who's on the rum?
    I'm impressed with your phone pictures, you must've been one of the first to take up the technology.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    You should see him with the big brass and wood tripod and the black cloak over his head whilst focusing.

    Slightly off topic, I recall when I was in primary school, whenever we went up Mt Coot-ha, there were dozens of 6' goannas.

    I remember reading a story about a freshie being captured near the Logan River about five or six years ago. Apparently a woman was driving along and nearly ran over it. Triple 000 was sceptical when she rang. Probably thought it was a leak call.
