Fiery sunset over Magnetic Island .

Another call was made to the residence of the Queen of the Jungle to see how she was continuing to batten down against the blow . There was a similar zoo situation to the previous day's removal of the heavy concrete Rhinoceros which had to be hauled to a safer place on the island veldt . It involved a concrete Emu with strong steel legs ( Reo reinforcing rods ). Could it be tied to a nearby post ? No , the post was loose . Solution : Emu tipped on its side , an ungainly position , below .
Importantly , the Queen's prized car was wrapped up like a Christmas plum pudding to prevent it from being scratched , for which she rewarded the head wrapper with a carrot cake , near its use by date , the price reduced .
For our services during the lead up to the cyclone , her gracious majesty presented this blog with a dusty , framed print, under glass , of colourful South American birds , monkeys and a frog , bearing the name of a Californian gallery , bought at a garage sale many moons ago . If any more animals surface Noah's Ark will surely sink or begin to list .
PROMINENT TERRITORY ACTOR BLOWS IN
