Aha! There's rock quarrying at the airport for a new building. That explains the rumbles I've been feeling.

Is it that Avalon is 50km from Melbourne CBD? Or that they are dressed correctly for the 'subarctic'?

Cape gooseberry is known here as physalis.

Most people seem to think they have to be cooked, but they are just as good fresh off the plant. Most people would rather grow grapes and currants though, as they are much sweeter.

We don't cook them, I think. We had some plants on our summer cottage and ate them straight.

Cape goosberries are completely unknown to me, had to google what they even were.

Ive never had them cooked, only eaten off the plant, but I looked them up when deciding what to plant in the allotment and many people thought they had to be cooked first.

Physalis are common in supermarkets here, also known as Chinese lanterns.

That is from Adelaide.
There are very few cheap flights to Perth, and I have to go to Sydney Airport which is 2 hours drive.
Just wish Newcastle Airport was more comprehensive, and even International (at least to NZ) - although the NIMBYS would never allow that.

Not looking so good for The Donald so far today... I think he was really exposed in the debate on Thursday.

Probably, though he's generally weaker in caucus states and whenever voting is limited to registered Republicans. If his numbers are low in Kentucky and Louisiana then it clearly suggests his support is failing.
