Your right, my old brain is loosing it.🤣

My Dad always said, "there is statistics, and statistics, and damned lies".

Which cruise line? Normally cruises within Australian waters for permanent residents, you only need your drivers licence.

Yes your right, I'm being greedy,🤦‍♂️ But would still like a Princess (or similar cruise line) Fiji from Brisy. Just not keen on P&O, to party ship for this oldie.😉

I can see what you say, but if we have all of them doing the same thing, isn't that reducing their customer base if all the offerings are the same boring repeats??? If they had more options then people would not be going overseas to get more variation in cruising.🤷‍♂️

Exactly

I know I keep saying this,,,,, BUT why is there 3 princess cruises out of Sydney to Fiji in 2025, yet not even 1 from Brisbane????? I know there is 1 Fiji cruise out of Brisbane by P&O, but what is Princess thinking that Brisbane only wants the same old ports, be great to have at least one more option than the same old same old.🤬

Your no doubt on a fairly comprehensive physio regime. Follow it all the way, do everything they say to do, you don't want to have those tendons seizing up, giving you a permanent limp. When I had my knees replaced, I have been very glad it was stressed how important it was.

😲 ooh bugger that looks very unpleasant, really feel for you.

If I had better contacts with the gentleman up stairs, I'd put a request into him, to send it over.😁

Have you been spying on my garden? 😂

In 2019 we came back from a cruise where Perth was our first port of call in Australia, as we came through customs for a day visit, one of those dogs got interested in Hilary, the customs guy ask her if she had any food or plants, she said no, but they actually took her carry bag and searched it, low and behold down in a bottom corner was a semi dried flower that had been put behind her ear at an island stop on the way. she must have taken it and put it in her carry bag during the island visit and forgot it. The customs guy what to her embarrassment was very strict and advised her that he was recording the incident and if she was found to have failed to declare in future she would be fined. The fact that she hadn't realise it was there was no excuse as far as he was concerned. I still tease her about being carful when we're coming through customs.

At least the NSW school holidays don't start for another week & a bit, hopefully for them the rain has run its coarse and they have fair weather then. Quite frankly I'm sick of this constant rain, just as my veggie garden starts to revive, we get another down pore flooding the ground, and killing the roots.🤬

Interesting. is that to stop things being taken in, or stop West Australians escaping?

Being sub tropical, qld seems to attract all sorts of pests, fruit flies, cane toads, root knot nematodes, flying foxes; bipoded denisons from south of the qld border. I must admit at lease the last ones don't attack my garden, so their sort of accepted up here.😏
