Hastily Compiled and Seldom Updated.
Most of these lists were written on a rather boring, four hour drive from Swan Hill to Melbourne and as a result may not be the whole truth. That is, they are either in no specific order (eg. No.1 isn't necessarily the highest ranked item on the list in terms of preference) and might not contain items I couldn't think of that mean more to me than something within the actual contents of the list. Until I actually sit down and really work through them this won't change though...so...looks like this is it.
