Yamba, as seen by a visitor


Sherilyn and her family, who visited Yamba recently, obviously had a helluva good time there.
I've taken the liberty of extracting a few bits from her blog piece On Hiatus in Yamba. Honestly, the local chamber of commerce couldn't have produced something as positive as this, even if it paid squillions for it.

 "We are  enjoying some precious family time in the picturesque and laid back Yamba.  No time for cooking this week, rather we are being waited on and sampling the local seafood and produce this region has to offer.  Not to mention the salty stuff - water that is.  The boys are in heaven!!"

Big Bash cricketer tells it as it is

Brad Hogg, who plays for Perth Scorchers in the BB, responded with a fair-dinkum double-dose of reality to the Melbourne Stars when the latter complained about having a long trip to Perth for Saturday night's semi-final and that they'd drawn the short straw with less rest time between games than Perth had.
Hogg said, "Stop complaining, seriously. ...there are people out there digging holes for a living and we're actually playing cricket ... so stop whingeing."
