  1. hi there,

    just a question for you. i saw on facebook that the small hunter zoo is going to try and save the tasmanian devil. i was wondering where is this zoo?? as it would be good to take the kids there. taronga zoo is a terrific zoo but a bit far to go all the time.

    also we went into our local Coles at Toronto NSW yesterday and we heard a lady complaining about the fish. we went up to her and asked what was the matter. she said that the burramundi fish and other seafood was from other countries like Taiwan, Vietnam, even the burramundi were from south africa. i have nothing against these countries but i thought we had our own seafood supplies around here. we should be using our own not stuff from other countries. it’s the same with our food products. hopefully we are supporting our australian companies or more people will be unemployed and if we ever went to war with other countries then we would be stuffed in getting our supplies since we shut down everything here.
