  1. Just in case this goat is connected to my previous goat answer - Llandudro, Wales.
  2. Now that does sound interesting and as it happens I am going to Mclarenvale on the June long weekend - not on a cruise, I live in SA. Might do the mystery picnic and let you know how it goes. ( not sure what happens if you don't solve the clues and get your goodies though)
  3. Oh. I remember an article about mountain goats coming into the town during lockdown. But come to think of it, you wouldn't ofbeen there during lockdown so I guess not.
  4. yes that's true - house pricing does work like that here too, although usually through an agent, not directly buyer to seller- and sometimes private selling of things marked $ x or nearest offer. Regular shop purchases do not and taxi trips do not though and highly unlikely cruises do either
  5. I dislike haggling and would not do it. It is a bit like tipping - it isnt part of Australian culture, the price shown is the price.So I am not used to doing it and nobody is used to being on recieving end of it. when I go somewhere that tipping is expected I do it and when I go somewhere that haggling is expected (markets in Asia for example) I do it But at home to get a cruise - No, I wouldnt nor would it be at all likely to work if I tried it..
  6. I really like Tips for Travellers, I think his name is Gary Bambridge.
  7. I suppose depends on the company and the tours. We went on Trafalgar 16 days round Uk/ Ireland all main meals were included ( usually you just bought your own lunch from a cafe or suchlike during the excursion or travelling time) . We went on Wendy Wu land tours of Vietnam and then China, all meals were included.
  8. Of course if you go on organised land tours you don't have to organise your own meals either.
  9. Wallaroo? That will do guessing for now.
  10. We used ours on laundry - in a fortnight there was one free laundry bag and we used our OBC for another one later in the cruise
  11. I think it is unethical to take videos or pictures of other people without their consent - I'm not a vlogger but I don't take my own photos of others without their consent- other than as faces i n a crowd, say, a picture of a footy crowd or panoramic shot of a beach Take and post on social media photos of yourselves, your companions who consented, your cabin, your meals, etc, taking the photos, videos doing in a way that doesnt impact on others -eg don't block the entrance to the dining room I think any ship has the right t o ask people to stop filming it if is likely doing any of the above..
  12. Is it the Polynesion Cultural Centre i n Hawaii?
  13. I would say it is the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Min City
  14. Yes thats right,. Sarah Island on the Franklin River. Early convict settlement pre dating Port Arthur.
  15. I don't remember the wallabies statue but I thought I recognised the railway station in the background. Is where the Historic Pichi Richi steam train goes from, Quorn is just over an hour drive from where I live, have taken interstate relatives on it couple of times Here is photo of the front of the station
