Our forum has been pretty quiet this week. Here’s the link to the forum for you to have your say. Remember, you can start a new topic off if you wish – just make sure that it focuses on Australia. Here’s the link to the forum: http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php/forums/315/1/Australia

That’s all from me this week. Speak with you next week.

Cheerio for now
