Hi Paul,

PQ>Both countries are still tied to the British Empire, unfortunately.

OK, that's like the �land Islands being a selfgoverning part of Finland
but not allowed to take full control of itself.

For example, in 1994 �land intended to issue its own currency named the
Daler. Everything went smoothly until the finnish authorities got scared
that �land would use it to start a "tax paradise". That's when the plan
ground to a halt and we still can't use the taxes collected as we want
but they have to go bacj and forth to Finland.

PQ>Ah, yes.  That might have been Bundaberg and its environs (about 100
PQ>kms away).

Yes, that is correct. We even have three back-packing girls from �land
over there that told their story to one of the local papers. They will
probably have to return home since the farm they worked at was drowned.

PQ>All is good here now.  The river only got to within ~300 metres (and
PQ>that's just a guess).  The other water turned out to be an overflow

I'm happy to read that you escaped the flooding.

Have a nice day,

Holger
