Great stuff. The additional shot of the observer in action really makes the story.

Cheers

Well done Paula - and a very good story. Chalk and cheese compared with the non-story from Townsville.

Congratulations Paula- how exciting!!!!!

I can't help but think of the night before when it looked so gloomy for your area and we were all doing the "clewwwwds disappear" chant.
And so it turns out that in future, we never under-estimate the power of the chant sung by many on fb , because look at you now... celebrity and all!
