A well-deserved break DPF and I hope you enjoy it.

But it’s shame in one sense, in that I was looking forward to your comments on the referenda proposed over the weekend by a certain gentleman well known to us all.

🙂

Have a great time David.

That low lying mountain in the background looks a bit like Rangitoto.

Surely not a Gulf Harbour ?? 😉 😉

My guess is Fiji, somewhere between Nadi and the Coral Coast.

Enjoy the sun and eat plenty of kokoda.

Marinated raw fish in coconut milk and lemon juice with chili, spring onion, tomato and plenty of black pepper.

Full appreciation requires gallons of sauvignon blanc.

I was picking a north Queensland beach, the one where Pam Corkery runs the main bar.

Former New Zealand prime minister John Key is set to receive Australia’s highest honour.
Mr Key will be appointed an Honorary Companion in the Order of Australia in Canberra on Tuesday, after the governor-general approved Malcolm Turnbull’s recommendation to give him the accolade.
“John was an outstanding leader of his country, and he is respected around the world for his influence in our region and beyond,” Mr Turnbull said in a statement on Monday evening.
“He was also deeply committed to advancing the Australia-New Zealand bilateral relationship and pursuing our common interests in the region and internationally.”
The prime minister said Mr Key helped drive economic growth in Australia and New Zealand, and ensured his country played its part in tackling international security challenges.
“He has been a great friend of Australia and has represented his nation, and our shared values, magnificently,” Mr Turnbull said.
“Lucy and I look forward to seeing more of John and Bronagh this side of the ditch and perhaps John and I can venture out for another paddle before too long.”
Governor-General Peter Cosgrove will invest Mr Key with the insignia of his appointment at a Government House ceremony on Tuesday afternoon.

  Good on JK’s Aussie gong. Don’t have a problem if the Aussie’s claim another NZ as one of their own.
  
  Even better Aussie could also do something about the double standard way they treat NZ ex-pats who now reside in Aussie.

    Yes. It is nothing short of disgraceful that hard working NZers are treated far worse than Somali, Sudanese and Syrian bludgers.
