Back in the late 70's. early 80's, old mate Allan Border was on holiday in the Whitsundays.
Allan Border was an Australian cricket commentator and former international cricketer. A batsman, Border was for many years the captain of the Australian team.
I enjoyed the years of Rod Marsh, Dennis Lillee and Greg Chappell when Aussie Cricket was synonymous with summer, patriotism and a whole load of fun.
Life was good.

OK, we lost the last election to a mob of arsewipes and dickheads.
Here's a tongue in cheek article for my fellow disillusioned Australian voters.
I apologise in advance for any offence I may give but equally, most people who would be offended probably can't understand a word of it anyway! And, if they are, as Rhett Buttler said, quite frankly, I don't give a damn.
So here goes. By the way, there is a translation at the end of it article.
It would appear as though the rulers of this world have decided to let the cat out of the bag concerning their exploitation of children in pursuit of eternal youth.
New research from Stanford University suggests that the blood, organs and other body parts of children and babies are a fountain of youth that could provide endless life for those who partake.
As is so often the case these days, we sign up to contracts and agreements which require us to provide credit card details or authority to direct debit our bank accounts. Every few years, the credit card details need updating.
And so it was, that this particular morning that my Mum, Redhead, valiantly attempted to renew her card details by phoning her internet provider and prepared herself for the normal " your call is important to us " stuff and, with luck and a fair wind, get through to someone before the card came up for expiry again a few years down the track.
And that is when it got interesting.
Oh no! Another scary-sounding disease called “monkeypox” is supposedly spreading, which means the powers that be are getting ready to unleash another round of plandemic tyranny that is sure to include yet another magical new “vaccine” delivered at warp speed.
The World Health Organization (WHO), which we know is actively engaged in bioweapons research, launched an emergency meeting in the United Kingdom to discuss the alleged threat of monkeypox. The United Nations arm claims that “cases” of the disease are expected to “double” from nine to 18, requiring intervention.
Melbourne’s bayside beaches are not renowned as the resting place of shipwrecks but there are two; one well known and the other almost unknown.
The well known one is the former HMVS Cerberus bought for the Royal Victorian Navy in 1871. She was a semi-submersible iron clad monitor acquired to defend the colony against a Russian invasion which never happened. A more comprehensive story about this ship appears in my post of 2nd April, 2021 titled IN DEFENCE OF VICTORIA.
I have gout .
It came on last night as the Australian election results came in.
I always thought it was alcohol or cheese or tomatoes. But, for me it is stress. I am now crippled with a big toe inflamed and my toe is full of fear.
Read more: Bugger! - I have gout again and it is all about stress.
Life, these days, has become very stressful, hasn't it?
Friend is pitted against friend and a friend becomes a foe over something like the vaccine or political views. As we recover our composure after a change of government, I cannot help but reflect on tougher times and how people rose to greatness in a time of defeat.

Yesterday's election result has changed Australia forever.
The real pandemic we are facing is the pandemic of misery, hopelessness and helplessness that is about the confront Australia.. . no dams, no coal fired power. power shortages and electric cars. Immigration will skyrocket and we will see our housing crisis multiply and our already failing public health system collapse under the strain.
If we look at what has happened in America in only 18 months, we are in for economic migrants flowing in; rising prices, shortages and a general disintegration of the country we once proudly called home.
A Labor victory is only half of the problem. It is the rise of the Green and Climate 200 mob that horrifies me.

As election day dawns, I feel a deep sense of foreboding. All I can think of was what happened to Sir Joh Bjelke Petersen all those years ago.
I remember his loss back in 1987. I was at home and the news of his defeat came through on the radio, I cried. I could not help but think that the Queensland I loved would never be the same. And it was a fear that has been sadly well-founded.
