"Well, perhaps it snows in australia.
I hope you do not mind, but we are already using the snow lantern as a weapon for a while. < F123979?thread=334423&latest=1 >
I tryed it while we where skiing. If there is sufficient snow, the only problem is to find a place where you actually can see the light."

Yeah, it is a pity that it didn't get through PR and editing and the whole process until now - I wrote the original entry in January while there was still snow...

Winter's just starting here... Even if it doesn't snow in Canberra this year, I should be able to get up to the mountains at least once. They're only about 90 minutes away. If I get there, I'll try this out!
The mountains are called the Snowy Mountains. British explorers had very little imagination, as a rule.

"Look what I found next to the keyboard 'y' I guess it is yours like the pictures."

Oh - that's right - I didn't think about the researchers living in the southern hemisphere!
I really ought to remember, because Loonytunes always used to gloat about having a beer in the sunshine while us northerners groaned about masses of snow...

Actually, we've very early. Of course, the same principals might apply to sandballs on the beach, but this hasn't been tested. Perhaps someone near a sunny beach might like to test this for us?

Thanks for getting my photos blobbed, Jimster!
It just wouldn't have been the same without them...

When we were approached on this, I had to give the non-committal reply, but you're right, they really do benefit the entry.
Now, about this sand lantern idea...
