Hawka Posted July 24, 2016 #426 Share Posted July 24, 2016 The biggest problem is that all the orange coating gets scrapped off by the time they get to the bottom of the hill. they would be uneatable either way though going down the hill without a plastic sheet to protect them from getting dirty wouldn't they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newby58 Posted July 24, 2016 #428 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Better than that mattress company that said " they stand behind their products".:rolleyes: Lol. That was a telegram that was read at my wedding reception. Don't buy a bed from ......because they stand behind their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newby58 Posted July 24, 2016 #435 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hi, We are on a repositioning cruise from Sydney to Singapore. Unfortunately on this trip we won’t be going to New Zealand. However for 2018 we are considering a land tour there. Our son was over there a few years back for 8 weeks doing an extensive land tour and raved about it, so my DW and I want to go and see for ourselves how beautiful your country is. As for Lingo, it is the same here. We visit London and also go to the US a lot, and it never fails me to find it strange that they find it hard to understand me whenever I speak and I have to slow it down big time. I blame the TV. We sailed on Quantum last year from Dubai to Singapore and there were a lot of folks onboard from Australia. They were a great bunch who loved to party. My wife and I are really looking forward to this trip very much. Not so much the flight but,….hey ho. We will survive. See you onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disco era was late 70s / early 80's so you tell me if you're old. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanb41 Posted July 24, 2016 #440 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Pillow chocolates were reintroduced on Celebrity ships last year after a hue and cry about them being removed. Not quite of the standard previously but reinstated none the less. Re eating the Jaffas off Baldwin street. Many Jaffas don't make it too the bottom and those that don't are quickly grabbed by kids alongside and just as quickly eaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpos Posted July 24, 2016 Author #449 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Wildflower season is rapidly approaching Western Australia - we have more species, more displays, more of anything really that attracts thousands of overseas cruisers to Perth to see nature at it's best. From late August through September you can and should visit to see this spectacle. Even if only in Perth for one day - visit Kings Park - they have an amazing display of wild flowers from all regions of Western Australia. You will be amazed, lost for words, stunned, dazzled, overwhelmed, astonished, at the display of colour and diversity of the flowers - and the coffee at the nearby shop is pretty good to. See the attached photo of a patch of wild flowers we call "kangaroo paw" I am going up to a National Park, in the bush, north of Perth, for a few days tomorrow to weed, fertilise and hand water a couple of acres of wildflower habitat to ensure it is in top condition for the season. Yes, I have packed my fly net, dunny rolls and have sufficient liquid in cans to see me through. I'll report back when I get back if I come back. In the meantime I am sure all our wonderful Aussie cc members will continue to provide our valued overseas cruisers with advice and tips to help with their visit to the downunder.

Many years ago I was in "The Centre" when it rained, overnight the wild flowers came out, places that had been red and barren came to life with spectacular colour. That was August/September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
