Any shop, especially ones selling stationery, that is full of hot and bothered parents trying to get all the items on their kids' school lists. I just don't get it when they know how many schools and kids need a particular textbook or black fineline marker, but the shelves are empty.

Maybe the day before they start the pens and everything else will turn up. I should have been one of those organised ones who sends in the forms before Christmas.

I would have thought you would have been well used to that....What with the theme parks and that freeway between the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

If your not queueing for something up there, there has to be something wrong with it

We went to Rockingham to swim with the dolphins- best experience for a long time. Had a lovely ice cream too.

As for Freo- it was shut when we went there, though the ferry ride from Perth was lovely.

South Hedland Shopping Centre on a Thursday(Dole Day) Strong odour from most recipients. Entertaining after a few hrs and their money has all gone in the bottle shops,
