Hi all, I have a son and two brothers-in-law living in the Western Isle off shore, and I thought that there must be something about that place that is mighty attractive for them to want to live there. I have racked my brains for yonks, but for the life of me I have yet to find out what it is. We are going over to Jimboomba, west of Brisbane, for a wedding in May, so I will be sussing the place out.

To err is human. To blame someone else, is management potential.
Well I was over in West Island for a couple of weeks at the end of January.
To my surprise, I found out that English is a very minor language and it is very hard to communicated with anyone in the big cities. Also, Melbounre their second biggest city is just a huge slum with a glitzy C.B.D.
I doubt if I will be going back, unles Boots or Nev will be with me as interpreters.

You just stick to yer sheep!
aaaaaaaaahahahaha if you want me to stick to the sheep, I'll need to borrow your Velcro knee pads, Boots, we can't get them here. Another invention proudly made in Australia...
Velcro knee pads, huh? Never heard of such a thing. Obviously it was an invention geared toward a specialty market and is on its way direct to the land of 'We need help with everything"...
You need help reading the instructions, Kiwi?
