Wow! Love your bob-job there, Peter! 
(...oh, and to answer your question here...I hear Australian parasailors wear helmets on their heads 'cause those old Aussie cowboy hats with that brim snapped up on one side that they USED to wear made their heads spin around too much...it supposedly all had somethin' to do with the way the wind currents would hit the things!...though don't quote me on this!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Nah! I think I read it inside the pages of my latest edition of "Outback Monthly", Pete!
(...and you should see the article they did on the Killer Koalas...I guess there are some eucalyptus groves one should NEVER venture into down there, HUH?!)

Peter, we should move this to the Member's Rides forum. It's a great start.
