Indy, I always thought you lived in a tree, after all you are always coming out of your tree to post on the forum. Don't tell me you've installed curtains in your tree, who knows next thing you'll be installing windows to go with the curtains, and a door.

Don't take offence, I do love yah!

Issy, just bought in the Moreton Bay area. have spend a great deal of time up there over the last few years with the Whanau (family), and now with the wife's sister passing away last year, we feel obligated to be there for the nieces (now our daughters in Maori tradition as they have no parents, but they are adults). Te's brother also died a couple of years back up there leaving a wife and kids, all grown up. Plus we have many close relatives in Queensland/Brisbane including some of our own immediate. Then there are so many of our mokopuna (all family children are your grandchildren, not just those from sons and daughters,that's how its seen), got many of them. Not to mention all the cuzzie bros. The wife can't wait to get up there again.

//Also the dark side of the moon isn't always dark.//
Most of it (82%) is, the moon is tidally locked.

Answer- Yes the moon is tidally locked- but not to the sun. They tend to travel in a plane- not the flying kind- but generally in the same direction.

If I hold my hands in front of my eyes you can't see me...

//Yes the moon is tidally locked- but not to the sun.//

Correct. It's tidally locked to the Earth, which is why we can only observe one hemisphere (plus a little bit of the second hemisphere due to libration) from the Earth. Most of that second hemisphere - the 'dark' or 'far' side of the moon - can't be observed from Earth; you have to send up a rocket to have a look at it.

A hemisphere is a fixed section but the far side is not fixed. The whole surface is dark during once a month or so. 82% is a rubbery figure from the gay referendum.

.....
the dark side is not fixed
the far side is...

In racing parlance Queensland has form, Paul reminds us of old Joe, his brown paper bags his gaol bird police commissioner.
Pauline Hanson knows that state has form for voting for lunatics and propers there and only there by that continuing form
You can bet London to a brick, some Queenslanders think their curtains are fading because of daylight saving completely forgetting they do not have it
Thanks
