Perhaps you could start importing big cashews to Australia and build a monument in Melbourne to the big cashew, called, wait for it...The Big Cashew!!! I see bells, lights and whistles!

Rose Porteous, who now resides in Toorak, is withdrawing from social life because she is depressed and stressed and has lost 7kg. Stop. Bert Newton has made the switch to Channel 9, no more Good Morning Australia. Stop. Dusty Springfield was a lesbian, before she died and all. Stop. Heath Ledger is a gay cowboy...oops sorry typo error...stars as a gay cowboy. Stop. It's Summer in Melbourne but it is raining. Stop. Stop. Stop. Love Meg
