Another state (Australian) joins iBoats.

[achris]

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we were a few states short of a country. Well we have a new member, Raggamuffin (name of a famous yacht that challenged for the Americas Cup in the 60's), and he's from NSW.<br /><br />We now have WA, Vic, Qld, NSW and SA covered. Come on Tas and NT, we need you.<br /><br />Chris..........

You just got to see the Tasmanian Devil.One really mean little Mother.<br />Steve Erwin has some up at his place. My favourite part of his Zoo. Just love watching those boys and girls at work when feeding.<br />They are small, cute looking, all movements are hypo/rapid, and jaws like no other.<br />They munch through carcases, skin/bone everything without stopping.<br />Amazing creatures. Believe they are only found there.<br />Anyone of you guys ever seen pictures of the Tasmanian Tiger. Went extinct in 1930/40's. Real strange looking beast. Really amazing.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

G,Day.<br />I think that we should point out to the Yanks that New Zealand is also a state of Australia, only dont tell the Kiwis, they still think that it is a seperate country.
