It is ok to make mistakes, the trick is to make them when no one else is looking !!!!

Heaven is Where:
The Police are British,
The Chefs are Italian,
The Mechanics are German,
The Lovers are French and

It's all organized by the Swiss.

Hell is Where:
The Police are German,
The Chefs are British,
The Mechanics are French,
The Lovers are Swiss and
It's all organized by the Italians.

I see!

Heaven is where?

Any place in Australia.

Hell is where?

Any place NOT in Australia.

DAVE there are times and places in Australia that are hell

Now I know you’ve never heard the cattle crying.
When you’re in the Never, Never and a fire has just gone passed.
You’ll push them just that little faster,… I know,... a little trying.
Forty miles of burnt out ground ahead,… I’m hoping?.. they will last.
And when that ground is covered you hope?… That there is grass!

True Bill but would you swap any of it?

Me I wouldn't.

And I like the verse.

Now Dave At the time I may have but my word was my word and I stuck by it and just when all hell was let loose. Wild Dog Red Anderson the drover who I was following arrived in his land rover with three extra men to help and to tell me that the fire had passed between us and cut a path 40 miles wide but he had instructed his boys to move the cattle faster so that there would be more fed left when we got there but at least there were two water points between us and we moved them faster and made it in two days and only lost 5 steers in that sector but the mob following a fortnight later picked up two of them but still that trip was a worry.
When Wild Dog got killed by a horse dragging him the four of us Myself, Ronny, Johnny our Cook and Jimmy all flew to Wyndham to his funeral and got drunk for a week in memory of him.

Thank Dave Thanks a lot
