Which is the best for culture in your opinion?  I like them all.  The only one I don't visit regularly is Perth because of the Distance.  I also like Darwin because it is unique, more Asian.  

Not into culture, like concerts, shows, shopping etc but like museums, restaurants. Not mad on Melbourne as a result. Had 3 days there last year on Coral Princess with mic and rosie, julie and rolf, plus a few others, they looked after me. When we got stuck there because of rough seas outside, Went into Melbourne every day. It was ok, but not quite to my taste.

Oh I hate washing machine style rough seas.  The only time I've been seasick.  Hope it is crossed off his potential list.  

The hardy antarctic expedition pax love it, plenty of rock and roll and NO stabilisers on the ship, 94 pax max.

Not a fan of Melbourne, been there a few times, my favourites are Adelaide, Perth, Sydney.

My son is in drake passage. Cannot tell you which ship, a secret,  trialling another ship. Rough seas. She is a roller. More than a few crook people on board, lol.

Yes I know it can be mild or severe.  Mine was painful, but mild, like a belt around my waist.  The bush brother I volunteered with had three months off work.  Cases on the face seem more severe.  

I copped shingles in my early 30’s, nearly killed me, around the waist and groin, ouch. Had 8 weeks off duty. About 5 yrs ago had the shingles jab. The shingles can kill us oldies and you can get more than once. Beware !!!!

Finally some rain down on the Far South Coast.☔

Often called a Ned Kelly pie, and one of my local bakeries does a good one - Ridgey Didge Pies

Sometimes called a Tradies Pie.

That is really weird. I wonder how they could smuggle the cat aboard. Junior cougar.

And one cat is mentioned as the same risk as 129 doses of covid.

Here is Bug, Capt Kate's Fur Baby.

Oh dear, no mention of the Kiwis. We're often left off world maps, maybe they just forgot about us 🤣

Arn't you part of Straya ? 😁 You are friendly then.

Lyle has started a new trend in meat pie dishes, poached or fried egg.  Some bakeries here sell a brekkie pie, minced beef, egg,  bacon and cheese within.  Dead horse is OK. Lubbly Jubbly.

I believe you have to pre book for dinner and the shows.

Has anyone cruised on Virgin's Resilient Lady?

I reported a couple of weeks ago, an old workmate and his wife are on the ship, repo, Athens to Sydney. I have been getting some reports…

1. Great and comfortable ship, great cabins and public areas.

2. Entertainment and food very good. Staff very good.

3. Drinks very expensive, all in USD and even the Americans on board think they are expensive.

I am hopeless at these. The only one I knew was the leaning tower. How about someone identifying this river:

 

Katherine Gorge, NT.

Correct, your turn.

 

Unless you want to give Les a Go.

Give it a couple of hours then I have to take my drugs and depart for noddy land.

Gravy instead of dead horse.

Nice feed that, good presentation mate. Is that a fried egg right side of plate?

Bought some Voltaren today. I am a very reluctant pill popper.

I may settle for some Sangria that I have in the fridge.

Voltare tabs are good as is the gel,complemented with a big glass of sem chard.
