Jill and I took Chris to visit the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne on Monday. Hadn't been there for a few years and was quite impressed. It's one of those 'you must visit' places. Here is Chris and I outside the Shrine just near Simpson and his donkey.
Regards Rick

bbq
... this is a real-time posting. The Canadians are just making an Aussie BBQ. The Canadians are doing a good job on the Barbie. Since its all upside down to them, will cook sunny-side down to make it more Canadian.

... nope, no panic day
 Everything went more or less smoothly and the Canadians packed for the first time their Swag. Not everybody was so keen to sleep in it on the ground. Some of them are sleeping in the trucks under cover  Kathy spoiled me with couple swag. So she's probably hoping I flirt with a jillaroo  or pick up a blonde tall Swedish backpacker As you say here, you haven't been in Australia if you haven't slept in a Swag and had a s## in it  bye chris
