Great topic, and something I hadnt thought about until now, but the Answer was easy, because it was the most awesome thing I've seen in all my life, even up until today. So not exactly cool, but bloody mind blowing.

well today, sitting on the beach while 2 of my girls swam in the water I saw a dolphin jumping thru the waves.....after a momentary 'jaws' flashback I was able to enjoy the spectacle....and remind myself you don't see that in Weston-super-Mare!

ozzie, those photos are stunning!
I'm reminded that at that time I was working with a woman who had a half share in a farm outside Geelong. That duststorm was comprised of a lot of erosion from the Geelong area, so some of her neighbours wrote to Melbourne City Council to ask if they could have their topsoil back, please? The response from the Council was that they were welcome to it if they'd come and collect it..............
