Hi all, I have a son and two brothers-in-law living in the Western Isle off shore, and I thought that there must be something about that place that is mighty attractive for them to want to live there. I have racked my brains for yonks, but for the life of me I have yet to find out what it is. We are going over to Jimboomba, west of Brisbane, for a wedding in May, so I will be sussing the place out.

Well I was over in West Island for a couple of weeks at the end of January.

To my surprise, I found out that English is a very minor language and it is very hard to communicated with anyone in the big cities. Also, Melbounre their second biggest city is just a huge slum with a glitzy C.B.D.

I doubt if I will be going back, unles Boots or Nev will be with me as interpreters.

Velcro knee pads, huh? Never heard of such a thing. Obviously it was an invention geared toward a specialty market and is on its way direct to the land of 'We need help with everything"...

You need help reading the instructions, Kiwi?
