5 days on Heron Island (http://www.heronisland.com/) on the amazing Barrier Reef !!!!
Yep, a fine trip, lots of fun, and my first real rest and recreation at the end in a LONG time.

- Jason from Sago (ready for another party dude?)
- Evil Dan (skater boi look suits you dude!!)
- Guido and Izzy from JuicyCash (damn, we didn't even party together dudes !!)
- Inabon, Joesho and Nick "Can I Buy A Vowel" Papageorgio (damn, we DID party together dudes!)
- Hank, Mr Skin himself (hope the kids enjoyed the cookies my man)

- Fred from NetPond (You owe me one hell of a night out dude! - take it outta my debt collection commission for ya!)
- Meat, Aga and Haui from the Pond (age shall not weary them, as the years condemn) he he
The others who I partied hard with forgive me, as I was the one playing up like a second-hand lawnmower you will undoubtedly remember me better than I you.
Thanks everyone for a truly memorable experience.
Back on deck and back to work for me now.
