It's been a blogging drought here at the
Sunburnt Country but I saw something on the weekend's news that I just had to break the drought to comment on. Mostly because I just love that headline. Mandrought. Isn't that a cool term? I could imagine using it all kinds of ways when writing (although, rats, it does not suit my current characters' situation!)
Anyways, in the story I saw on
Weekend Sunrise it referred to a shortage of men in
Cairns, a decent-sized city in the far north of Queensland which is very popular with tourists. Apparently men in their 30's-40's are far outnumbered by women, so in the interests of public service I thought I should get that message out. Y'know, in case anyone's looking to visit and wanting to check out the manscape. ;-) Although I should point out, in the interests of full disclosure, that there are plenty of men in the 50's-60's demographic.
Mostly I just wanted to use the words mandrought and manscape!
