Mission Beach...man, that just sux again. :lol: What a scabby, skanky unjustified hole! You and your family have my sympathies, what an unfortunate godforsaken place....and dont forget those snappy crocodilian reptilians left over from the Mesozoic epoch. Don't go there, don't go there, don't go there...:lol:;) How am I doing Snappy?

How do I do multi-quoting in here again? :curse:

It is very very hard living here, the stress and hassle and not forgetting we also have to contend with those vicious Cassowaries with their long claws. If it's not the snakes, crocs, snakes, spiders, jellies, lions it's those pesky birds trying to kill you :lol: Then the largest problem we have is when a lion comes down for a visit but the leg of a cassowary beats most turkey legs you'll find in the shops :ohmy: so that keeps him happy :thumbsup:

Yeap it's a hard life and I'll be the sucker who will live it and sacrifice my happiness for the sake of others :cool:

(do you think they believed me??? ;) )

The other thing I forgot to add was the pure hassle of knowing someone with a boat that likes to take you out to beautiful islands....don't you just hate that :D Then the added pressure to stop off at Dunk Island on the way home for a liquid lunch is just pure criminal :cool:

Tum, sorry, didn't see your post earlier on. Get the bbq firing ok, start practising..choose a place from above, or add some of your own and we'll meet ya there (when I get back from Portugal. Obrigada!)
Will do :thumbsup:, can't wait to actually get there and get our life started again. Even though life will never be the same again :( I will survive (if anyone is experiencing an unstoppable urge to sing after this line...please do).

Yes, I will survive those awful animals, crocs, sharks, snakes (especially those hideous amathyist pythons attacking you in pairs to steal your jewelry :p) and of course diving is terrible, no visibility what so ever and algy getting stuck in your breathing apparatus IEIEIEIKKKSSSS!!!

Anyway, no place to live, so...my advice....don't go there, I have to.....but you don't, you still have a choice.......:rolleyes:.....:eek:

heehee, Don't forget to add the the garlic and herbs. 40 minutes at 200 degrees should get us crispy. Better still, pack me in the esky and chuck me over the bonfire at your campsite on a deserted island. See cannabalistic tendencies still exist in the lowlands and islands of NQ - don't go there, dont go there, dont go there. :lol:
