I hope he's bunkered in somewhere out of the elements and we get good news soon.

Hope they find that guy up around Tomahawk Hut but it doesn't sound good.

Not happy with the cold here in Mansfield at the moment, the beer taps have frozen on the bar in the shed and I can't pour beer  >:(

At least it should knock a few mice down though.

Anyone coming up Mansfield way for the long weekend?

Currently 7 degrees in the Hunter Valley, so I can appreciate some of the pain you guys are going through.
