    Ian is correct. Just ask the young women from Sydney and Melbourne who come here for holidays and go home with big smiles on their faces.

    No, it is not actually the same one that we are discussing - but a very similar looking seed. The leaves and habit of the plant are quite different. The one we are talking about has feathery looking leaves and is a creeper, where this one has broad leaves and individual plants. But looking at the description, it is the one from my childhood, but definitely not the one here.

    As far as walking on them in bare feet, or cycling - no difference! This one is more coastal, the one discussed above is more inland.

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Chances are that you didn't have it long enough to ID it.

    Gold Coasters have long said that Mexicans arrive there with one set of undies, a $10 note, and don't change either.

    Undies on the Gold Coast? There's a novel thought.

    To me any one who lives South of Winton is a Mexican!
    East of Normanton & your a Greenie!
    Viva the separate State of NQ formally to be named Gods Own.
    Don't really need a separate State 'cause it is A State of Mind.
    Maybe I'm losing mine - mind that is.

    Jonsey, your mention of Winton reminded me of the Ansett-ANA Vickers Viscount Air crash there aprox. 55 years ago

    I wasn't aware of the tragic event.
