You mean 'dedicated racist'.

I've seen plenty of kangaroos up and down the residential streets in Queanbeyan and that was before I hit the tinnies 😯
They forgot flies.
I saw a very similar list in Canada of dumb (American) tourist questions
I like that.
That is great!

Whilst doing the drop bear sketch in the US the Ozzie girl at the other end of the table was trying so hard not to laugh as they really did buy the idea, backed up by the first image on a google search being

Where's Mad Max? 😡
The only issue with the map is they've put "convicts" on the one bit of Australia which didn't have convicts. There's a reason why the Australian MoD is based in Adelaide...
That's more Vic than sa, should have been over tassie though

Australia, where dangerous animals team up to kill you
A friend of ours, talking about how aboriginal people need to "get over it, and move on".
1st day of spring, the snakes are waking up now.... Makes bush riding interesting!
Routinely see kangaroos in our street (outer edge of melbourne). Swooping season has started for the local birds now also, It is annoying to get repeated thumped on the back of a helmet by an enraged magpie. Kangaroos and emus also move bloody fast, having ridden behind them down roads at times. The wildlife isn't very bright though.
Kangaroos and emus also move bloody fast, having ridden behind them down roads at times.
One of the most magical experiences (damm it was pre go pro) was riding across a tyre width single track up in Melrose with half a dozen big greys bounding down either side of me.
More terryfing were the early morning Stromlo jaunts where you were waking them up in tioght twisty stuff where they could cut the corners and suddenly coming back at you.
This week was a collection of Possums on a night ride. All fun and games, just hoping we have another couple of months before snake season kicks off.
The biggest danger now is going to be burn off and those not quite fallen tree's
Plus wombats are powerful little things. I've seen one lift the front end of a ute that had come to a halt over its burrow. Hilarious.
Farkin magpies. They follow for ages too.
Wombats, like a cast iron block on legs the shit cubes they leave are freaky too

"It just so happened that there was a few pairs of tree snakes mating and there were a few males waiting for their turn next," Mr Howard said.
"I think we were lucky in they were essentially a very harmless snake at the end of the day just doing what they do," he said.
which is why we have so little time for stuff like UKIP boxing
Real 'Snakes in a Plane' stuff there 🙂
We have slugs.[img]

I found one of these the other day - a hammerhead worm
That's pretty. 🙂
Hmm, persecution to the point of extinction doesn't seem too bad an idea after all.
pretty sure if I poke around a bit I'll find a BBQ recipe to suit these fellows:
Giant Gippsland earthworms
