My wife and I have one more week in Rocky and then head
home to
Scone. So,,,, we thought we would have a look at a few out of the way
places on our way down to have a look at
Gladstone.
We were expecting maybe a small , sleepy little town with a pub and few fishing boats tied to a jetty.
We were not expecting a very small high security port with a nasty little man yelling at me for taking photos. Even though there were no signs around.
Mind you the photos were of a very old clinker and what looked like an old railway
bridge.
I have since found out that they ship out explosives,, although I don't think thats an excuse to be rude.
Anyway I may now be on an ASIO watch list.
Summarising,, don't go there. No pub, no coffee
shop, no caravan pk, no motel,
no pub,,,oh already said that didn't I.

BooBoo,
I think you should sue the bloke for yelling at you as there were no warning signs not to take photos and he has caused you undue stress while you were on holidays, trying to relieve yourself of same.
If he was "on duty" for a Company, sue them as
well. You may be up for millions in reimbursement even after paying your lawyer their outrageous fees.
Also, demand that ASIO disclose to you any interest they may now have with you, your family and any pets you may own and which they may choose to apply undue leverage on you in the interests of National security.
Oh bugger it. Forget what I said above.
Just chill out, have a beer and never venture to those unsavoury destinations again.
Bill.
