Not me, Kevin Rudd. Some of his staff had to DRIVE back to Bris.
I wonder if they had a 4wd with a bull bar, and
if any infastructure money will go to the local road system ?
Wouldn't you have loved to have been a fly on the wall?
Years ago I was camped on the Cooper when the RAAF boys were in town. I could hear them at the pub, 7km away. I'll bet you could have heard the PM for a fair distance when he found out that his plane wasn't going anywhere for a while. LOL

Its OK Footy, Kevin was
well looked after when he hitched a ride on Anna Bligh's private jet.
Obviously poor form for the PM to be seen having to rough it by driving home.

Yes our PM was OK, but apparently some of his staffers had to drive back. What a shock for them.

I don't pretend to know KR, but I imagine that the pub and it's clientelle might be a bit of a culture shock for him. Perhaps not. He'd hardly be
camping by
Coopers Creek, would he ?

Apparently he was in
Windorah dropping off Handys Christmas present.
Handy probably ratted the plane of wire to hold the rattler together!
