Would love to -- it was well worth it last year. Unfortunately I have a stupid work 'retreat' that day .... I am sure Old Dee and Beelzebub can eat my share between them :)

sounds like a great junket, froggy. what's new to learn about roads you can't get out of a book or the web and what's wrong with a video conference :)

I understand that by attending last year's conference help my new local government secure 60 million in road funding.

This money was to seal a road that the State Government promised to seal in 1957 when it closed the rail access to our town.

Unfortunately there a State election soon and last time there was funding for this project the State spent the money in Perth on the expansion of the train passenger network. 

I did learn how the Victorian State Government needs to hand over 200 million to the Glengle Shire so they can fix their roads. Plus NSW councils need more road funding from their State government. Apparently the Federal Transport Department wants a new user pays road funding system as the current fuel taxes are unfair and not providing them with enough income.

You city slickers believe everything the Fed's tell you about the NBN and how it provides fast Internet to everyone. Well video conferencing requires decent Internet speeds, plus it's a poor way to deliver a conference.

The NBN started construction in my area in May 2013 and it has not been completed as yet. I assume they want to complete their entire east coast network before they complete my area. IMO it should be called the NBN.CON.

Don't kid yourself DF I live in metro Melbourne and we are not even on the planning list that shows the areas to be done in the next three years. I have tried to work how the choose the areas to do and the the result is they pick them with a blind fold and a pin!

I bloody don't ... I may not be a city slicker anyway but I have the nbn's satellite 'service' (despite having 100% signal strength for fixed wireless, I'm not permitted access to it). Slow when it's working, which happens episodically.

Far too systematic, Mr Old.

Forgot to ask, Froggie: did you learn about the Queensland system which used to operate brilliantly by having a minister of the crown living in a local government area (with the small proviso that any developed road usually ended at the minister's gate?

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
