Developers circle as national parks open for business

I can't see how this is a good idea...

What is probably going to mean is you are going to pay more for visiting National Parks to help pay for infrastructure. Not necessarily a bad thing, look at Wilpena Pound, a resort and campsite operating side by side.

D4D,

What a great idea! Bents Basin is a perfect place to go, the Scouts go there every year for their Jamborette.

As long as the first timers don't end up crowding the best camping spots :D

A lovely little narrow bit of road in Singleton that is one of the truck routes through town today resulted in this.

http://www.skynews.com.au/topstories/article.aspx?id=793616

Sadly his younger brother is one of those in hospital. I don't like the bit of road in a car and avoid it in the trucks.

Very sad.
RIP little man.

1968 Chevrolet Corvette was stolen a decade ago and recently found in a shipping container. And now it’s up for auction.

Are the French the most stupid race on earth? (note: my work was bought out by french 4yrs ago and I can tell you personally how ****ed and arrogant they are)France will close diplomatic sites in 20 Muslim countries over concern that a French satirical magazine's publication of cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad may provoke a violent backlash.

some unhappy people here having to pay and go thru all that hassle again

yet they are allowed to keep driving.. either they are an unlicensed danger, or they arent... Im fairly sure if they have been driving for years, they have it down pat by now...

Very sad end to an already disturbing story. What is society coming to...
http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/man-charged-over-jill-meagher-case-20120928-26olv.html

The body of ABC employee Jill Meagher has been discovered buried in a shallow grave north-west of Melbourne this morning, as homicide squad detectives charged a man over her rape and murder.

A story from our local paper the Daily Examiner
Sex toy retrieval drama for man
WTF "Butt Chugging"
"a Brisbane newspaper reported Queensland tennagers were risking their lives with the strange "Butt Chugging" practice, involving pouring alcohol into a rubber tube placed in the rectum"


I've heard it all now.

There was a news story a week or so back about a man with a live Eel in his b*m.

But it sounds a bit fishy to me!!!!
