It’s a great place and the fishing isn’t bad either,particularly when the Tailor are running.

Maybe they are only running to get you fitted asp for your next Business Suit? No? Must be a fish then.


EDIT. Big ****ers aren't they?

Some snodger flatties in the surf, too.

Kingfisher resort guests told to leave. This is going to put more pressure on Moreton and Straddie regards tourist numbers, I think. Middle creek camping area, Eurimbula National Park 1770, is probably as good as any, with the advantage you can drive in & out. [ 4WD high clearance] spent a couple of very pleasant times there. When we last went they were building composting toilets, think that's what they were.

Oh bugger you, Steve. I'v just googled Tailor & Now I have to look for Snodger Flatties. They must be either a woman's shoe from the '60s or an artificial Bra.



Nope Mr bee, another flamin; fish.


Never heard the word snodger before, Queensland word or sheltered life on my part?

I think you may thank one C.J. Dennis for the term.

A different meaning altogether, in Scotland.

one of my best mates was called snodgers.

I just can't understand why all the campers on Fraser don't leave voluntarily.

If you haven't been on Fraser it is heavily wooded and a good wind or self generated one would very easily start a maelstrom there and you can't get off some the tracks even if you want to.

If the **** hits the fan they will cry like ****.

I was in Caloundra last week and a couple of days there the smoke was quite thick.

Australia bushfire rips through heritage-listed island (bangkokpost.com)

BRISBANE: Australian firefighters are struggling to control a massive bushfire that already destroyed 40% of the UNESCO world heritage-listed Fraser Island before a heatwave hit Monday.
The fire on the world's largest sand island, off Australia's east coast, has been raging for more than six weeks and is consuming large swathes of the island's unique forests.
