Yay!!! My computer is all back, faster than ever..
You have probably noticed from earlier photos that there are lots of ways for small bears to ride on the Hamilton Island golf buggies. Here are three more. First off, if you absolutely must obey the letter of the law regarding seat belts, you can strap yourself and your buddies in. The lap part of a lap-sash seat belt will easily hold two small bears and a small cow. Why seat belts on golf buggies? Well, there have been a few accidents where people have rolled buggies and even a few people killed by falling out on sharp corners so the OH&S commissars have decreed that belts must be worn. In fact, only new arrivals seem to wear them, the old hands and locals don't. Second spot, really useful if it is raining, is up under the dash where the glove-box would be if buggies had glove-boxes. Of course, the drawback to this spot is that you can only see where you have been, not where you are going. The third way is the one I like best, just tuck yourself under part of Mum's seat belt. Make sure that you can reach the steering wheel and off you go, bear steering and Mum working the pedals. Buggies are the best on islands and it puzzles me why more places haven't followed Hammo's transportation lead.
