Yeah, I've been doing some asking around, and so far, I've been pointed down the Gold Coast for a single store, Sydney for 2, Melbourne for 3.
Unfortunately, everyone seems to be so completely backward here, it's like this crazy new invention, you might have heard of it, it's called THE INTERNET, has passed over 90% of any businesses you come in contact with. I was thinking about getting a web designer to help with my site (isn't up yet) and he goes, oh, what are you writing it in, and I say MS ASP.NET using Visual Basic.NET with some ODBC components.
was the look on his face.
So, if I want something, I email around. I might get a response in a couple of days, if I'm lucky. Pictures are usually out of the question, and sometimes even prices?!!?! I mean, what, you don't want to sell the things?
So I'd have to go down to Sydney, which I ocassionally do for business, buy whatever, hopefully they know how to pack things, drive it back up with my ears laid back. Or, order it and hope for the best, that they don't send me something that's not broken, or dead, or whatever. I am very appauled at this whole situation.
The only solution I can think of is go the other way, 2000 kilometres north to Cairns, because it's my understanding that they give divers permits to collect stuff. I used to get discus from there that were pretty top notch, and the trip is fairly long, but obviously doable.
This not being able to get equipment in a captial city is going to stop though. I'll make sure of that.
Enough of my rant, tankgirl, the cheese - I believe - was made from pastureized (?) milk, possibly homogenized as well.
That whole, raw milk thing doesn't sound too groovy after all. I'm not sure what Undulent Fever is, but it sounds remarkably unpleasant. The use it throughout Europe for cheese I think.
Playa: Yeah, it's not too bad, it's a pity I'm a night owl and work constantly. Very rarely see a sunrise or a sunset, with the sunset right now being just to the right of the centre of the photo.
What I'd really like to do is move another half hour out, further inland, where you can pick up a couple of acres for ooh, about $AUD30,000, and build a house out there. I saw a plot of land that was about 5,000 acres, had twelve streams, deer wandering freely, but it was going for 5 million. A little bit out of my budget, and the business dictates that I no live any further out than what I do now.
