Why a PO anyway - what happens when you walk into town at 5pm on a Friday? Wait in Dusty Hollow until 9am Monday?

If you end up doing it regardless, I'd be most interested in hearing how you feel about the points Christine has raised. By the way, she loved the Bibbulmun track, doing it twice.

The Heysen has that vastness and is of course, named after a Kraut! More power to you Christine. Suck it up!
