Given this morning's news about the Yanks eye off the Cocos-Keeling Islands for drone spy flights into China ....
1) Maybe the place will be ruined with a bunch of pimply-faced Seppo 'spooks' barbwiring off large sections of this untouched kiting paradise.
2)Maybe a US presence will deter non-kiting visitors and make the place more deserted, apart from the sound of landing 'drones' that have just listened in on Mr Woo's latest missile launch or tried to find out how close you can get to one of their sub bases without being picked up by radar.
If you want to make sure Our Dear Leaders know what their humble, breeze-addicted citizens think about using C-K, try sending a missive to [email protected].
Smith is the Defence Minister and MHR for Perth, so any WA comments about how C-K our 'special place' - like Fiji or Lord Howe for the east coast - would ring a bell.
Personally, I think the news comes at a time when the Yanks are trying to put pressure on the UK about the lease of Diego Garcia, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, ending in three years
.
But if might be fun jumping US nuke subs' conning towers at Woody's if the other idea that's being floated to base hunter-killers at HMAS Stirling goes ahead.
Carton to the first Cabrinha rider to get their kite wrapped around a periscope?
I don't know who I find more offensive , the seppo armed
Forces or people who feel the need to publicise everything they do and every where they go?
hmmseems i was misled .i'll be writing in . Yes you would think the yanks would be more discreet .But then discreet has never really been there way
