    I remember some students from Melbourne Uni broke into Saba and birdnapped Dave and Mabel for the Prosh Week Scavenger hunt. They were being looked after by Zoology students, and ransomed for a massive donation to Cystic Fibrosis research. They were returned unharmed and in better shape that they had been found, but Prosh week was banned as a result. I believe it exists again, after many years.

    Channel 10 showed the A-Team and I missed out on it?! And Guests was around that long?! The Jam Factory looks SO different to what I remember?! And I went there in the late 1980's (probably 88 or 89 and it was a heavenly pearly white color inside?!) and 90's and it was still pretty good but nothing like what is shown on here where it even has an Adventure-like playground?! Whoa Mind Blown!!!! The Jam Factory in 2018 is SO bad that it's not even funny?! I mean I've waited over 35 years for the most pathetic Target store in melbourne?! It's a boring dead-zone that not even the local birds will fly past! I can't believe how cool and unique the Jam Factory was in the very early 1980's and I was totally convinced that the mid 90's (1996!) was the best time?! I wish I could back in that time and visit it but I'd never want leave sigh......

    I was so surprised of how similar Aus was to America, I thought I never got on the plane, other than the accents, lack of a good variety of guns and having animals that want to find any reason to kill you at the drop of a hat, it’s just like home. Have been going back at least twice a year for the last 18yrs. Cairns is good stuff as long as you beat the Christmas crowd.
