<hr>So Pagoo, did you really have afternoon with DD? Is he really the grizzled curmudgeon that he comes across as on TT? Or could you possibly not comment on that?<hr></blockquote> I was indeed shocked at his lack of webbing !! And great stories of his days at sea as well. ( Insert any jokes now...) I was impressed that i noticed the mouse on the road at night- maybe smoking doesn't make one go blind as the packs say ( or was that ermm...oh never mind).

Hindsight being 20-20 I wish I had alloted a month for Tassie vs. 18 days, of course now I am going to the Daintree for 6 days and am sure I will regret not having more time there to go on the elusive cassowary. After kicking myself for not bringing my telephoto lens with me ( I only brought a 35mm wide angle lens , leaving the others in Septo-land ) I managed to buy a used Nikon 80-200 zoom in Hobart today for $150 AU, so now I can actually photograph the fauna without waiting for it to be within 20 feet from me. The platypus obligied , and I am sure that the salties would too, but a telephoto may be better for the crocs.

And DD, please do forward the Lamington to me in Port Douglas. Also I heard that pantyhose are usefull for keeping the box jellies from biting, if you still have that spare pair of black fishnets you told me about please forward them as well.

Not the fishnets DD. You promised Lord Downer solemnly (after that team-bulding weekend up the Tamar - remember?) that you would cherish them forever. Now you toss them to any sweet-talkin' snake oilin' Seppo that wonders into North Hobart! Have yo' no style?

Well that's charming, pagoo. You open your door to offer up hospitality in the guise of your best, thrice used Lipton jiggler and your mother's handcrafted Lamingtons and what do you get in return? I'm painted up as a zimmer-frame bound, cross-dressing Popeye.
