Three cheers to the bloke fixing our roads
Sure! Here’s the text rephrased exactly as you requested:
Nice to see that Steve Irwin Way doesn’t require a 4WD anymore to get between Glasshouse and Beerwah. The bloke building that stretch deserves some time off as well … it’s been a long couple of years for him.
JP IS WHERE?
I went looking for a justice of the peace the other day and they’d disappeared from the Beerwah Library. I admit I only need one every year or so, when having to prove I wasn’t driving that car, but it still threw me. And why is it in a cafe you ask? Me too.
Holiday fun
How good was the Easter break. I wasn’t camping so of course it was perfect weather. If I was camping though I most certainly wouldn’t have gone to K’gari. Why? It’s God’s Country you say. Sure, but the updated rules book has more rules than Wolston Correctional. According to the State Government, if you want to survive a long weekend on the island then do this: Don’t walk alone, never run, stay within arm’s reach of children (the whole idea of camping is get kids out of arm’s reach); walk in groups, carry a big stick (luckily that’s one of my 12 rules to life); Lock up food even on a boat (how fast are these creatures evolving?); never store food or food containers in tents (oh, baby, make it stop). The good thing is that it’ll keep foreign tourists away – the ones that think it’s cute to feed the bloodthirsty wild animals, but still something has to give soon and it’d better be those dingoes.
Knock on effect
I’d almost got through my column without talking about the federal election. Why is it that these candidates all say they’ve door-knocked like thousands of homes each election, yet I can literally never remember anyone ever knocking on my door. Sure I wouldn’t answer, but I’d appreciate the effort.
