G/day Ross

Good poem mate.

Like Heather I can't see anything wrong with the second line either,
There are times you despair at the lengths some will go in this madness of political correctness.

Cheers Terry

Good one Ross. You must find it different in Port Lincoln to the times around Marree.

Cheers, Jeff

Good one Ross! It's amazing how a bit of poetry on the poster captures the eye much more than "plain" words!

I've ridden camels twice in my life (neither occasion was in a race). The first was in Alice Springs 32 years ago and I just loved it. Waited another 30 years for my second camel ride in Dubai - and discovered that the older you get, the further away the ground seems to be!!! But it was still a good experience.

Cheers
