February 28, 200719 yr G'day Roger, In the beginning it was a trickle then it became a flood. Outback where?
February 28, 200719 yr Author Hummm, a quote off a watertank, how very Oz.... I am in Korumburra South Gippsland Victoria, you ?
March 1, 200719 yr 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:)
