Strewth, thanks for reminding me cobber, I'd better make shore the
windmill's working right before I fly the hairyplane to work tomorrah... :-)

Seriously though, I suspect I'd have to drive about as far as you would
before I saw even a windmill, let alone an outback airstrip.
Mind you, I saw a big windmill today when I went out driving in the country,
there's a coincidence. Except it was a European-style windmill (you know,
the building-shaped ones they used to grind grain in).

Hmmm, better stay on topic....  anyway, I was out in the countryside looking
in toy shops for Lego. Didn't find much, except I did see a few of #6418
Paradisa Country Club. People have often mentioned regretting not buying
Paradisa. Personally I couldn't bring myself to buy something with so much
pink.... 6418 looks pretty dull for parts too. Hmm, pink.....

Paul

(...) *laugh* Yes, I know. But it's perception that counts, and 99% of what we know of Australia comes from Crocodile Dundee and Fosters' commercials. (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.town)
