The first time the kangaroo was put on an RAN ship was on HMAS Anzac serving in Korean waters to distinguish the ship from the USN. I doubt they thought they were a footy team or a supermarket.

I agree; the Southern Cross is also already on the New Guinea flag. The kangaroo is already used on naval vessels and air force planes, so how about this:. This based on the Canadian flag with kangaroo instead of maple leaf. If a dead leaf is good for the Canadians, surely a live...

Buy par boiled snags - precooked and only need heating up and browning. Quick and safe and as skc says keep for many months in the freezer as long as you are careful not to break the plastic pack so they dry out.

haunting, China got our gas at a very good price. I wonder if that being onsold too? If so Australia can't be blamed for trying to avoid being exploited on iron ore.

Also, China got a very good price for our gas - it would be interesting if that were being onsold.

wabbit further to my previous post it seems that I can get $1600 of carbon credits with a two panel gas assisted solar systems

Thanks, I know about these systems but I am still grieved about lack of any subsidy simply because I took the responsible decision to use gas hw.

I would like to go solar hot water but I presently have natural gas heat hwh and there is no rebate in NSW if you want to convert gas to solar.:mad:

Perhaps the cause and effect are in fact reversed ..... more balmy summer nights...perishing prophelactics?

Re: GDY - Geodynamics Limited It seems to me that there could be room for geothermal boosted by solar, since the major resource is in the desert with plenty of sun. The higher temps achievable should be more efficient - any thoughts on this?

Good stuff. The first general for 200 years to be knighted on the battlefield.

rookie, I can only recommend the book I mentioned. It shows how the great can be prevented from doing their best for their country by the jealousies and fears of lesser men. Besides that it is "riveting" - Peter Cosgrove says on the front cover - the reason I bought it despite having no idea of...

No offence taken - just a comment on influence peddling journalists - they are still around.
