    Millaa Millaa Falls...Atherton Tablelands

    It's the age old story isn't it. When you actually live and work in an area, you never take the time to visit the various sites. I've done the same at each place I've lived. Had to go back as a tourist later. 😂

    I'm liking this. We have a reasonably medium sized lawn and a large electric mower. 11 minutes a day would get it done in a week, and our old joints would appreciate the minimum exercise. 👍

    You won't believe the outrageous price this Aussie restaurant is charging for an entree!

    I was in the Hotel/restaurant business for 45 yrs and unless you are in the industry you have no idea of the overheads. I find $15 a bit rich but this person could have asked what they were getting if no picture and not gotten it. Sooooo glad I'm retired. It's a very difficult industry to please...
