Jan, did you watch RoboCroc? Was it 'good'? We got back from camping at Lake Eildon today (for those in the US, today was a public holiday to celebrate Australia Day, so we had a long weekend). I wonder if RoboCroc is on again - will have to check! Sharyn, I'm not surprised you don't know 'On the Beach'. It's a 1959 movie based on the novel by Nevil Shute. It has Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner and Anthony Perkins in it and it's based in Australia, post nuclear war(s). The storyline is that the radiation from the nuclear fallout gets to Australia last, so people are just waiting for it to arrive and meanwhile doing all sorts of risky stuff like car-racing, being drunk 24/7, etc. Siobhan, I'll have to try Bonnie out on Starsky and Hutch!

No I didn't watch it. It was on again today I noticed - on the SyFy channel. Glad you had a good holiday - I spent 2 of the 3 days with Izzie and it was just wonderful. She never ceases to amaze me. Shah is freaked out cos there are possums fighting in the roof. At least he is quiet and not complaining

We also have pesky possums...growling and crawling along our roof guttering in the middle of the night. Grrr! Izzie is your rescue horse, right? Glad you had the time with her. We took Bonnie camping and she looked kind of nonplussed about being in the great outdoors. Even when the native King parrots landed in our camping area she didn't seem that interested. Then the Parks ranger showed up, as it's a National Park, and told us that Bonnie is an "illegal exotic" (not native Australian species), but fortunately didn't make us leave. I must point out that there is nothing in the terms and conditions saying you can't take a pet bird in there. >:(In the last 2 years they upped the fees from $15 to $38 per night to camp there...good ol' Aussie government! Oh, Robocroc is just starting on Syfy, must go, can't resist watching the start at least!
