Kelly must be finding it hard to hate the South West after the last few days.

Too bad that the whole world rediscovered it at the same time.

If kelly was here in winter he'd fuck'n hate it alright! Or he could just fuck off up north with the rest of the world.

Good soundtrack too.

With the Internet, Google Earth, Video Cameras, surfing charters etc etc etc, not too many spots sacred anymore......

WA insane waves one day, insaner the next!!!:) I hated the crowds though (tongue firmly in cheek) and it's only going to get worse cause WA is so accessible, yeah right guys! I've got a conspiracy theory going where all the older seeded WSL guys got eliminated early so that they could go surf the really good spots! Oh BTW let the tourists come...... very, very big fishies need to eat too ;)

Yeah WA is pretty inaccessible .

All that will change if ever humans invent some kind of machine that can transport people through the sky though.

Hey , wait a minute....

Yeah $5000.00 for a week in WA or the same for 2 months in the Mentawai's? Seriously? You better build more condo's to house all those wealthy surfer's. I'll let you in on a secret..... the guys from Perth have heard about Margies:)and it only takes 3 hrs to drive from there. Check out the surf cam at Snapper one day have a laugh and then count your blessings.

Sick movie by the way.

$5000/ week to stay at Margies !

Your kidding right ?

I managed to rent out the dumpster out the back of Coles for just under half that.

Got a meal at Settlers with the difference.

Actually it was only an entree but fuck it was tastey.

I'm on my way!! Where did you say that dumpster was? They were asking $3000 a night at Woolies one. I'll just fire up the hot air balloon...... The wind's blowing that way isn't it??:) Do you have MacDonalds in the sovereign commonwealth of Western Australia?

No Maccas at Marg's , that's for sure .

The local businesses didn't want the culture of the town diluted with global corporate entities.

They weren't too big on the idea of competition maybe denying them an opportunity to peddle their reasonably priced $18 salad wraps either.

Yeah, I heard that Ripcurl, Quiksilver, Roxy and Hurley et al don't approve of global corporate entities but at least they're aware of Drugs and that''s why they're closing all the whineries, so that no one can abuse having a really good whine. Pity I liked the odd drop of Houghton's White Burgu......I mean dry white. It goes well with $18.00 salad wraps:)
