The Ghost of Benanee

... the first tranche of offers and seems to have made it his mission to make sure that all newcomers are made welcome. He made a point of mentioning all the works that the Gov. are performing to ensure our success. Harry is enthusiastic. I'm less so. Apart from the magnificent rail bridge over the Murray, there seems to be a lack of railway track. Similarly with the irrigation system which we will heavily rely on.
