Thanks for the gorgeous pics, Akhenaten.
Looking forward to more of yours too, Legend.

Wow, I didn't realise it was so green over there. Amb's always saying there's never any rain. 
The Black Spur to Eildon is one of my all time favorite drives. Breathtaking.
If we get everything we bid for in our tender, we will have 12 extra offices in WA (and 29 extra overall, to take us to an even 100 offices). It will give me the opportunity to visit Albany, Bunbury, Esperance, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Karattha, Broome, Kununurra, Christmas Island and a few others I can't recall. But the area I'm most looking forward to visiting is Thursday Island. Fingers crossed. We'll find out in March.

Good luck, lionking!

Western Australia has annexed Thursday Island???
That's gonna piss the Queenslanders off.
ETA: Mind you, it wouldn't surprise me. While we were at Eildon last week I discovered two Sandgroper spies lurking in the Pondage.

Lobby for one in Exmouth. Ningaloo Reef.
Too late. And for that smartarse pharaoh, I do know the difference between the Torres Strait Islands and the Kimberley
. I have also proposed offices at Weipa, Mt Isa, Whyalla, Broken Hill, Berri and Melton. It's the last one I'm most worried about visiting.

The Isa and Broken Hill are both amazing places and I'm sure you'll enjoy whatever time you get to spend there. Melton's OK, as long as you don't run into any Marshians, and frankly I'd put Whyalla at the bottom of that (or just about any) list. Weipa can be . . . interesting.

I only know the demographics of Weipa. Twice the average income of Australia as a whole, "no religion" beating the Mick's and Proddys, only 17% indigenous (low for FNQ), mining runs the town and no gays (okay I made the last one up). Probably very few skeptics, and I don't want to know the average alcohol consumption.

Oh yes, a town redolent with the scent of boganvillea.
It's actually that last item that earns it my epithet of "interesting".
Actually the Albatross pub looks alright. I particularly liked the reference to the local crocodile.

Why am I reminded of the lodge?

Apologies - I just couldn't resist.

No, your apology is not accepted. Why do you insist on polluting threads with your completely off topic obsession?
Pathetic.

So topical Aussie jokes do not reside in an Australia thread? Really?
Ah well.
Ah well.
Joke? You need a dictionary, sense of humor and a re-reading of the MA.
Just go away. Your obsession is extremely tiresome.
