Hullo there. Still here? Good, you can read some more inanity whilst you're about. Grab a chair, go on.... QUICK, THE SHOPKEEPER IS COMING BACK, TAKE THE CHAIR AND LEG IT!!! They went that way with your chair, Mr Shopkeeper Anyway, the rest of you, listen up. We've had another few super days. Wandered up to Cleland Wildlife Park, a sanctuary containg the Aussie wildlife contingent - kangas, emus and potteroos (cute rats, bascially) that stalk you wherever you g...
