Strine Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 G'day Roger, In the beginning it was a trickle then it became a flood. Outback where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Keagle Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 Hummm, a quote off a watertank, how very Oz.... I am in Korumburra South Gippsland Victoria, you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strine Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Roger, you just need to check the little area in the top right corner of any of my posts. It says Melbourne! which is near enough in a global sense. I'm about 30km east, toward the hills. Or check my pin on the map. That's even closer to the mark, but not near enough for the shrapnel to reach if you dropped one on that spot:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
