Rex very kindly offered to put him up at the Normanton Hotel for the (Friday) night; quite an experience for someone who'd only lived in Australia for a few years!
Whilst a one-off event, this may explain one method Rex use to ensure on-time performance!
Brilliant- depart 60 mins early to make up for 3 x 20 min late departures. OTP 100%
These guys are going to kill it with Maggots.
