Queensland. I stayed at 'Baffle Bob's Caravan Park' a few years back, it was excellent. It is just North of Bundaberg..take the road to Rules Beach. Cabins, and caravans for staying in as well as tent and van sites. There is a boat ramp onto Baffle Creek so you can go fishin'. Nola & Bob were great hosts!

There was a female long haired Shepherd in a farm-type block down the road from where we live. The owners had put one of those underground electric fence wires in and she wore the collar/receiver that (I think) gives them a shock if they go near the underground fence. She had a problem with other dogs and she would to test the fence during the day (her owners usually switched it off at night and let her & her kennel-mate roam and sometimes forgot to turn it back on, yep..I know!)...I was walking past with my old dog Harry-the-Dirty-Dog and she came rushing out at us, the only thing I had in my hand was the bag of Harry-poo, anyway I was waving round this bag of poo and shouting and the dog backed off...I then threw gravel after her....gave me a bit of a fright though! I now resort to carrying a small can of insect repellent...I figure that a squirt at the face will be a deterrent (or is that a no-no?)

I know what it feels like to have an empty space in your heart when you have lost your little mate. Hugs from me and my two Westies.
