Look like goat turds picked up in the back yard. Really.

They could be *anything*, the pic is that crappy.

In some cases, that's not a bad thing :-)

Yep.

I spent a bit of time in and around Lonny as well. I was using Shearwater as
a base.

When we moved our base down to Hobart, we met a lady in a shop in Richmond
who was from Melbourne who took us, along with her friends, to her favourite
Indian restaurant in Lonnie. It was nothing for her and her frinds to do that
trip once a fortnight. Most Taswegians thought they were mad!!

I did prefer Devonport to Lonny though.
Spent more than a few days up on the rock wall near the lighthouse wetting a
line :-)

Wursthaus at Olivers??

It's in the Quadrant Mall.


When you go back over, are you going to stay 'up North'?? If so, do you like
oysters....... really *big*, free oysters??
