Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

To a salmon and trout farm. Amazingly the trout and salmon had been brought as eggs in a ship from England. The first 3 tries failed, with ice melting over the equator etc. The 4th try put the eggs in a wooden box with ice, layers of moss and some charcoal, and made it intact. Thus the first(?) trout/salmon of the southern hemisphere arrived in 1864(?) and the trout thrived, whereas the salmon were more difficult to introduce.
Had a little dinner at the salmon falm - didn't eat any fish.
On to the National Park - saw some lovely old gum trees, some of them extremely tall, and a waterfall or two. An amazingly different and much colder climate under the trees - with ancient ferns and spray from the water fall; lovely.
Cup of tea, and back home. Took Auntie & Uncle out for a nice dinner - hit a place of intermediate quality food - and somewhat strange demeanour - but local. They had slot machines, and a direct computer link to the casino for some instant gambling game; shocking.
Back home; meandered through more photos - saw some totaly shocking pictures of Father minus beard, plus hair - and very young; couldn't really believe it was him. Somewhat frightened by seeing that all the people I consider old and past it, were once young and attractive. Being on the brink of being old and past it is scary.
