winds, severe thunderstorms and floods, in queensland.    one wouldn't 'ave thought there'd be too many tourists, goin' to markets, moona     B-)

It's not only tourists living in Qld and it's not raining or flooding everywhere either, in fact some ares are having their driest wet season for a decade this year.

If I sat on my bum and worked markets pacifly as other market traders do I'd be lucky if my takings were a quarter of what they are but I'm a 'Spruker' and work the crowds.

You may have seen someone like me at sometime where we give something away for free and using the 'Wait, there's more' patter lol

It's hard work but I enjoy putting on the show and all the effort pays off.

Given another 6-8 weeks when the tourist really start pouring through my takings will double to triple.

The only upsetting thing for me over the entire weekend was the fact that I only caught one 83cm bara on Saturday night lol.
