Richard, you were in town on Good Friday - by law the Hotel must be closed. You were able to get fuel by just asking the owner, I wasn't closed by you didn't come over here!!

Raining here in
Melbourne today.... Sounding very hot in downtown
Birdsville.
We went to the
Birdsville studio on Ruth's advice and bought a lovely picture of the
Birdsville Hotel from there.
As a bonus, with my Exploroz card, I did get a free coffee and fantastic Sticky Date pudding and Ice cream for free - lovely stuff. Don't miss it when you are in
Birdsville and don't forget your Exploroz Card!
Hope it is getting cooler in
Birdsville.
Cheers
Andrew

OK Andrew, make sure you put some yabbie pots in - otherwise don't worry I will lend you
mine - just got back from checking them and have the boiler on now - yabbies for entree tonight (cooked them in a broth with plenty of garlic, yum yum) - pity Mr Toonfish wasn't here to make a beautiful sauce for me. Supply truck came in yesterday so having fresh green vegetables with pork chops as
well. MMMMMmmmm. Don't forget to get in Friday early as Happy Hour is 6:00 p.m. (EST) at the Pub - party snacks come out at 6:20 (EST).
