It is happening Glen. It is in-fact getting worse with each year. The river used to freeze entirely for months during winter. Now hardly it freezes for about weeks. On top of that there will be breaks and people have to climb gorges. In few years, it will not freeze at all. :( One of the most iconic treks will disappear and locals have to rely on longer roads to commute.

I remember that Catweazle joined when he was in high school, back in 2009.
So, judging by the age of whom when one joins, I can (with certainty) qualify for "Youngest Stampboarder"! :lol:

I did vaguely recall Turtle mentioned early on in his posts, 18 months or so back, that he was 14 or under, so I too was curious that he has not aged!

If Turtle is 14 he's had a hard life.

I'd guess he was the same age as me, 29.

Granted I've probably been 29 for a year or two longer than Turtle has :D

Ben Cooper and Glen 17-3-22.jpg

Catweazle and Glen shown downing a pint of imported draft Guinness in Flinders Street, as it was St Patrick's Day, and we both ended up with a free Guinness cap as well. :D

Many thanks to Ben, Catweazle who kindly met us at our airport hotel, and drove us to the MCG today - full story here -

https://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=98698

Have not caught up with him for many years. Scored an entry ticket, and a huge Virgin Airlines mega goodie bag for him as well. 8-)

A great game - we were just 3 of the 72,000 fans.

Me standing next to the memorial on Rabi Island, Fiji, which commemorates the relocation of Banabans from Banaba in 1945. Banaba is part of Kiribati but is better known as Ocean Island. Kiribati is the chain of island that were the Gilbert section of the Gilbert and Ellis Islands.

The Banabans were relocated or forecably moved to allow the Bristish Phosphate Commission to continue its phosphate mining operations.
