Re: Something worth sharing...
oh you guys.....
I have to go to extreme measures down here to get ANYONE interested in science.
I happened to be at the starbucks yesterday morning right after some kid shot and killed another kid over a pair of shoes. I setup my HD video camera and got some footage of scene that was used on the local stations. That video got more views than all 10,000+ solar outreach videos I have posted in the last 6 years, within 30 minutes. We live in a sad state of affairs folks and science is the answer...

Re: Something worth sharing...
he he, that picture is from 15 years ago when I was a self absorbed a-hole. Charlie was still alive and everything was all about me, me, me in those days.
I was a bouncer at a local strip club on my days off then. What a waste of time...

If we didn,t have experience in certain facets of life especially those we are not proud of then our guidance for the youth of today would be futile.Keep up the good work all.

Re: Something worth sharing...
Stephen,
I assume someone has mentioned the "Blue Card" requirement for Queensland?
Each state has a similar, but different requirement.
http://www.ccypcg.qld.gov.au/bluecard/about.html
I think you'll need to obtain one before your visit???

Re: Something worth sharing...
Already done & dusted!
Just needed Stephen and Steele to fill in the paperwork so that they could operate under my blue card.
Must admit though - the Working With Children department is one of the easiest Government Departments I've had to deal with. Very efficient and friendly. Pity other departments aren't as easy!.
Avagoodone,
