[Ron & Liz Sullivan]

Hi All
I must side with Reg  the camping prices should at least have power
I dont mind spending a dollar or 2  .
Anyway  I know a gourmet chef that will be slurping piss; burping and
farting, should be able
To set up a menu for our nights of fun at a good price.
and for you blokes who don,t have to drive far can't wait till Qld.
