The days are over for the extra cheap US holiday

80 bound is my guess by December

It will be home grown holidays for a while.

Never been to Darwin.

And it has been 20 years since I've been to Tasmania.

 :thumbsup

Just think of Melbourne 10 years ago and you're basically there

ummm, no!

despite the changes in the dozen or so years i have been here, Darwin is nothing like melbourne has ever been in my life.

each suburb of melbourne would have more traffic lights than the entire darwin region
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

What's the weather like then?

Ambitious, aren't you a teacher, at the schools I grew up in they would tear a 70yo teacher to shreds halfway through Term 1!
An 80yo CRT teacher would not make it past morning playlunch at Werribee High  :help, although I'm not sure what it's like these days.

Waiting lists at each level.

We don't produce Doctors or Lawyers (who would wish that upon their kids)

We produce good people.

Next year's No 1 draft pick is in Yr 12 ATM.
