Now you lot know I'm not a huge fan of the E & C circus. But as some of you are I thought you'd like to see this brief TV interview by local Aussie Andrew Denton. https://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/video/default.htm?program=enoughrope&pres=20071008&story=1 Enjoy.

I did not see the hit and run thread. I often don't have a chance to read WD's every day, or read all the postings. So when I saw this and found the thread locked I had to post my response to my critic here. I wrote... I'm going to be very politically uncorrect here...are the MF's who don't...

I could not post this in Global Reports because there is no " New Thread" link? So can a Mod please move it there? I had to post it in two parts because there is a 20,000 character limit per post. That's a little annoying. Cheers. Let us begin... Not far from where I live is a no-go zone of...

As Captain Slow was taking his KLR to great heights in the Bavians, Shalako-Lin and I were taking our bikes along a torturous trail in the middle of the Blue Mountains. On the way we stopped and checked out some Roman ruins. Then it was up to Falconbridge and the beginning of a tough fire...

So we weren't going to South Africa...but that didn't mean we couldn't still get to see African animals. Lin's brother lives at Dubbo, home to the Western Plains Zoo. So we could stay with him a couple of nights to save camping or cabining. Another early start, departed Sydney at o dark hundred...

Shalako-Lin was keen to get out and about on her new Sherpa. She has never been along the Old Convict Road that was the original main inland route between Sydney and the Hunter Valley. So Saturday off we went... This the view of the Hawksbury River, overlooking Wisemans Ferry. And here's Mr...
