Spending a few days here to celebrate my 50th , it is spectacular and recommend it for a visit for those that haven't been . No phone signal which fizzed me up a bit initially but it is quite therapeutic not having it ring .. not that I would admit that to the bride

Beautiful part of the world. Lived on the island for 7 months taking tours. Was a great job, knowing that your customers were seeing so much wildlife and natural beauty, and not having to travel the huge distances to get there!!
Have fun, Noccy. Hit me up if you want some advice on things to do/see.

Did a cruise there from Melbourne this year - great spot! Oysters and seafood to die for, beautiful scenery and wildlife. Will be going again and spend more than a day, probably go via McLaren Vale wineries next time! Thumbs Up

... are the races on while you're there Noccy?
In reference to every post in the Trump thread ... "There may have been a tiny bit of license taken there" ... Ok, Thanks for the "heads up" PT!

I was just wonering, didn't think you were of an age where you can't live without technology and I thought holidays are meant to be an escape. I guess I was asking from my perspective, sorry if I was out of line Embarrassed
