Re: Brisbane heat hell
OMG, why have this thing in the middle of a City, and cause all this bloody disruption??! Why not fly them all out to Uluru, or better yet a temporary canvas city in the middle of whoop whoop? Far easier to police, the only danger the odd snake, and no disruption to services such as health, education etc?
Makes me :mad: |

There are enough Avis mini buses parked on the vacant lot across from the Gabba to stretch from here to the UK so I'm sure they could find a way to get you back here.;)

Maybe all hell will break loose with the G20 summit and you'll be stranded. Red zone came into effect today.
