It is a small world, isn't it. I am a little further west than North Battleford, in Alberta outside of Elk Point. Several years ago I spent a few weeks in the Brisbane area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would love to go back some day and see it properly. I failed to see even a single platypus, which was a little disappointing. Next time I will, for sure. On the plane up from Sydney we were seated with a young lad who was a copper miner from Bundaburgh. (Sorry, that may not be spelled correctly). He had a lot in common with my son who was working the oil fields in Fort McMurray. Fortunately my son has moved into a more comfortable career nearby so that he was well away from the recent forest fire that has devastated the Fort Mac area. I think our respective nations have quite a lot in common, including chickens!
