Any chance of a controlled burn through the Bob Winnell…. sorry… the Jon Stanhope Memorial Arboretum?

Well, I think that was what the original post suggested was going to happen. Would you prefer the pine forests to still be there? Or, the entire investment to be char-grilled by the frustrated arsonists cursing the latest la nina rain phenonemon..

Today's Poll

A new car service is promising a $350 joint fare for a chauffeured ride to Sydney. Are you tempted to take up the offer?

Yes, great idea. It would be more reliable than then plane, faster than the train and less stress than driving myself.
No thanks, it takes three hours to get to Sydney however you do it. And the bus costs a fraction of the price.
