Travellers to Australia, read this!

“Read this
”

“Okay, I read it. Now what?”

“BE BLOODY CAREFUL!
THEY CAN AND DO TRAVEL!”

“hey Bunyip, have you ever read Bill Bryson's *In A Sunburned Country*? i learned from that, that Australia is a freakin' death trap, and it's a wonder anything can survive there at all...
:-) also, it's hilarious!”

“We got Taipan snakes, crocs, cassowaries, Box jelly fish, Collingwood football supporters(locals will be laughing at this), sharks, coral sea snakes, funnel web spiders, red back spiders.

Thankfully we dont have BEARS, LIONS, The N.R.A., Rutting Elks.”

“You've also got the Croc hunter. Unfortunately, we do too.”

“Bunyip's Link

You owe me bunyip. Pay up now. Tells where you've beent the last couple of months.”

“the NRA, ha!!

what, Geobeet, you don't like ol' Steve?? he's awesome! overacting, schmoveracting.”

“Crikey!

Oh god help us!!!!!!!
He's like that in real life. It's almost as though he's got 2 duracell's permanantly applied to his n*ts's!!



Busy, doing boring stuff.

Hello everyone!
How've you all been?”

“Disconnect the Duracells (Crikey, 'at's a big-un ain't it myte?).”

“AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPARE ME!!!!!!!!!

I hope one of those domesticated ghekos bloody well eats him!!!!!!!”

“hmm. i hope you don't think you can toss off the comment that you know the illustrious Steve without telling the story!
;-)”

“Of course he knows him lyra. There's only like 3 or 400 people on the whole continent, right?”

“bunyip, help me please. i need a 6-pack of south pacific lager. i can't get it in the states. do you know any online stores i could buy beer from that carries it. could i send you some money and have you ship me some? help me please.”

“oh yeah, i forgot, Violin! hee hee.

yikes, that sounds dire, baume!”

“Baume, I'm straight onto it.
My Dad picked up the taste for this stuff in PNG.

The population is now down to about 20.
What the crocs didn't eat Steve Irwin frightened off!”

“Lyra told the pommie he can't toss off...pphhhhhmmmmmwaaaahahahahahaha!”

“I'm sure it's just for a scavenger hunt or something. Nobody could be that hard up for a brewsky.”

“well, there IS a whole thread about emergency beer, Violin!

EEEK! i didn't realize, FG! maybe i meant "toss out"? something like that...”

“Father Goose.
Aussies are not (expletive deleted) POMS!
(Expletive deleted) Poms are from (expletive deleted,expletive deleted) England.”

“my wifes uncle has searched high and low for this stuff for years (he is really into foriegn beers), brewed in papau new guinea, but it isn't available in the USA. he made the comment that this is the hardest beer to find and if he ever found one, he would set it by itself with its own display light shining upon it. i am trying to give him the best gift ever. if i can get a 6 pack, he will recieve a 5 pack. with bunyip's most gracious help, this may be possible.”

“Guess you got told FG, ... pphhhhhmmmmmwaaaahahahahahaha!”

“U haven't taken any trips recetnly BUnyip?”

“I was just funnin' ya, Bunyip. Perhaps I should explain the term for the uninitiated, as explained to me by some of my Aussie rugby-playin' mates from many years ago. POM is an acronym for prisoners of His/Her Majesty, a term describing British criminals exiled to the then penal colony of Austrailia. They were known as 'pommies'. In today's parlance, Aussies refer to the English as pommies because they have to live there.
Did I get that right, Bunyip?”

“Thankfully we dont have BEARS, LIONS, The N.R.A., Rutting Elks"

Geesh, we all know the Lions suck, but you don't need to rub it in!

Did you hear the brew-ha about the paper bags some fans were sporting at the game on Sunday? A local radio station handed them out, they said something about getting rid of M & M (the coach and GM), but the NFL and/or Ford Field authorities got ticked off about the whole thing, took them away, saying it was aginst NFL safety rules. Gimme a break!”

“One of my co-workers took a year off to explore south east asia and Australia. The first six months he's in south east asia. He's been to Vietnam, Bali, Indonesia etc. etc. He just went over to Australia for the last six months of his journey. On the fourth day in Darwin on a beach, he got mugged. Jeez, all this time I was worried that he would get kidnapped or something in S.E Asia.

He hung out on the beach with other world travellers, then he decides to take a walk. He gets surrounded by six black dudes in the isolated part of the beach at night. Luckily he only had a few bucks of change..a watch and a necklace he bought in Vietnam. Lucky they didn't smack him around for the lack of money.”

“Appologies for the delay,
but I have to sleep and go to work while you guys are rabbiting on here.

Father Goose, your spot on. I know where I'd rather be living.
Your rugby mates would be real men. Full contact tackles, none of that woosey padding and helmets the NFL have.

Rosymonster, no overseas trips, doing the daddy trip. Maybe back to Nepal in 2003, I've got some mates who wanna have a look about.

Smiley, We may not have the NRA, but a bunch of morons in Government who feel that a couple of hundred people from a 3rd world country would be better of languising in camps on a tiny island or an isolated desert town than possibly contributing to our society.

Baume 66, the search continues, no joy at my local, will start trying some of the posh "Bottle O's"

Stanlee, a lot of the crime is opportunist. It doesn't excuse what happened, but it could have happened anywhere. I'm sure if he was at home he would not have put himself in such a position, gotta remember its a big bad world out there, and we can be just as big and bad as the rest of them.

I'm starting another thread, I have a question re gear.”

“Yep u r right Bunyip...hope nobody took my story the wrong way. Everyone's got to be careful out there.

In New York state, they're trying to form a league that plays some kind or Aussie football (forgot the name but I'm pretty sure it's not rugby)...it looks vicious.”

“Aussie rules football? That's a wild game. Kind of a cross between rugby, soccer, American football, volleyball and a barroom brawl.”

“Back again.
It's called Australian Rules Football (AFL).

Imagine a game where you can kick a footy (ball) and bump into opposing players and the "play" doesnt stop every two seconds. It's like soccer but you can pick the ball up and goals are scored every few minutes. The players are built like greyhounds not bulls. In a way it's like rugby but with the added skill of having to bounce the ball, basketball like, every ten yards. You cant just chuck the ball, it must be handballed(held in front and punched to a team member. The Grand Final (superbowl) is this weekend. Should be a cracker.”

“And they don't wear pads....ohh, the pain, the pain.”

“Your right, no N.R.A.! The government has already confiscated and destroyed hundreds of thousands of hunting rifles and shotguns. Is the crime rate, murder, home invassion, and armed assault, still sky rocketing like it has been the last 4 or 5 years?”

“Why don't you go eat a Vegemite sandwich and leave the NRA bashing out of this thread.
>
And don't tell us you prefer Marmite. They both taste like #&%!$e!”

“OOOOOOOooohhhhh!
Nah Nah Ne Nah Nah!
Nothing will make you turkeys jump than a bit of NRA bashing.”

“Citori, actually they're are all dropping.
Lifes pretty good, can you say the same about the U.S.?”

“As a matter of fact we can. I think in the latest FBI statistical reports most kinds of crime in the US are falling. And if this country were to legalize marijuana, the crime rates would plunge. Now go eat your Vegemite!”

“The Canadian govt is trying to outlaw and restrict a lot of weapons too.

Turn citizens into sheep....it worked in Russia, China, Rwanda and Germany etc.”
