I’ve been trying to think of something witty to say for my contribution, but I can’t. In lieu, here’s a pic of the cockatoo that mugged my OH when we were in Hall’s Gap a while back. I’d love to post a pic of the actual mugging, but I’m not allowed. It climbed up his arm and nicked some of the sandwich he was eating, as he was eating it.

you should've staged the mugging by giving him your sandwich too

What's Hall's Gap like? Worth a visit?

It’s beautiful and I definitely recommend a visit, but probably best to go outside school holiday times if you want to avoid the crowds. I had one of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten there, too

In my dreams I own a property around that neck of the woods sighs dreamily

It was clearly your fault for not paying the cockie sarnie tax.
