Chris
It`s going to be very close this year , between WA , NSW , QLd and LMZ I don`t think SA has a chance even with a few VIC club members showing for them.
It will be great when the VICs can put a team in may be in the near future.

Thanks Garry,But i think there will be a distance problem.As i am 4 to 5 hours from Melbourne.And i think all the professional zebbie breeders would come from there.Do you know why they are called aluminas ?As i like them because i work at a smelter.Its process is to turn alumina into aluminium.I assume it may be the colour.

It's a shame it wasnt on 35 years earlier, I used to caddy there when I was a kid. There used to be a lot of reddies and double bars on the golf course back then.

Framed.
Enjoy every sandwich
