Hey, nice to meet you! Seems that weâ??re a nice bunch of people and weâ??re travelling in interesting ways. I hope to travel to Ireland one day and the States too. My mountains are some ways from the red dust of australiaâ??s true outback but the scenes here are often harsh and majestic. These hills were as high as Tibet eons ago and weâ??ve even got a kind of dinosaur tree called the Wollemi Pine (location secret). Anyway, the locals make things happy and friendly, just now itâ??s Christmas in Winter and thereâ??s hearty food and plenty of wine and cheer to go round. Iâ??ll answer Melanus with another rhyme from the Hobbit.

The Clean-up Song

Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates-
Smash the bottles and burn the corks!

Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!
Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Splash the wine on every door!

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;
Pound them up with a thumping pole;
And when you've finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
So, carefully! carefully with the plates!
