PS - someone asked... and doco style or story style is fine.

The Byron Bay Schoolies page has been updated: http://accommodation.schoolies.org.a...-schoolies.htm

One style of reviewing a destination, very well done. Use any form you want for submissions, story telling is great too.

[Dominic]

Thanks for all the contributions so far. Still a few destinations need new content.

If you were thinking of sending something in but didn't get around to it - now would be good slacker.

dominic i wouldnt mind writing a review of leavers, but im not too special with destination reviews, and if i attempted it and it wasnt used id be cut. im talking dagger in the heart.

[Dominic]

Are you still gonna write a leavers one?

[Ben]

i wasnt sure if you wanted me to, if you want me to ill give it a go. so i just write about whats crackin down in dunsborough and bussleton?

do i have to write formally?

[Dominic]

It's up to you, funny stuff is fine but think from the perspective of people who want to know stuff about leavers, people going this year. Online, people will click away quickly if they don't think the info is there or it's just some prat rambling on. Anyway, just see what you come up with - I don't want an essay! just write to the audience.

The byron one is only one style, but a great example of what people looking for info on byron bay schoolies will re-read three times and just soak up.

Definitions of prat on the Web:

buttocks: the fleshy part of the human body that you sit on; "he deserves a good kick in the butt"; "are you going to sit on your fanny and do nothing?"

yeah ill give it a go, and email you what i come up with. if you dont get it in a week, i wasnt able to come up with anything and a ran away and cried

cool?

[Dominic]

So did you have a teary or is it still in the hoppers?

[Dominic]

No pressure by the way, but the entire leaver's class of 2005 is waiting for you.

[Ben]

ive been pretty busy man and havent really had the time to sit down and write a review. the leavers class can wait. its a known fact that most of the year 12's this year in WA are the worst yet. year 12's in 2004 were the class of all classes.



don't wanna be an american idiot, much rather be an australian dickhead
