Undeterred, I decided to continue my quest by hiring a motorhome and travelling up the east coast of Australia all in the interests of keeping the world's knitters up-to-date with the latest in all things wool! As you can see from the evidence below, no stone has been left unturned in my search. No sightings yet of unusual versions of our four-legged friends; if the truth be told there are no sightings of any versions, but I remain resolute in my quest. Rest assured, that I take my responsibilities very seriously and will endure any hardship to bring you the latest news. If I have to sup some more cocktails in sunny places on the way to The Great Barrier Reef, then so be it! All tips offs seem to point to the best sightings being on The Reef itself!!!!
I have even ventured into the Pacific Ocean, suitably attired in my red polka dot bikini and was temporarily encouraged when I heard the cry of "mutton" from the beach.
Please pass on my heartiest regards to all the happy knitters and I know that any one of you would be doing the same if you were in my shoes.
