    Default Was looking at going on holiday....

    Hey all and especially to our fellow humans down under.

    Was thinking about going on a little holiday to Auz, 'cos it looks nice and sunny and have a few friends there....

    Then I saw this and decided to stay home!

    That's great! Never seen anything like that before. Heard a man get eaten by a crocodile, but that was in Africa.

    It's pretty tricky finding any wildlife here in Melbourne (well unless you count Collingwood Football fans).

    Hey Wookie! You can come visit Dnar and I in Perth

    You might want to watch this first as WA has recently been upgraded to the shark death capital of the world

    Saying that, I go swimming at this very beach quiet often. It's those crazy people who swim far out where you can't touch the bottom that they nibble on. Me personally, it's jellyfish that make me walk on water! Luckily there are very few here and at worst they just sting a bit, no death in minutes types round these parts.

    No wars, or too many natural disasters down here, insects and sharks are what make people jump up on chairs and squeal down in Aus

    No one has warned him of Vegamite. A friend from Aus sent me some. I think it is really snake bite anti venom. Nasty stuff!!!

    HehHeh, did you know that the first time they tried to sell Vegimite in Australia, we didn't want it either?

    They they tried another add campaign later and we fell for it oh, we're such simpletons on the colonies.
    I'm a sucker too. Toast, melted butter Vegimite mmm mmm. If your home sick in bed, sometime your better half might offer some Vegimite on toast as its all you can manage to eat. I'll admit it's a weird anomaly.

    England shipped all their criminals down here, we bred and this is what you get:P

    This is the one I remember from Bondi Rescue, guys gets his arm chewed of by a shark.

    Strangely enough I think it was only a few days after a Navy diver had his hand bitten off in Sydney Harbour.

    There are some Australian military members where I'm at right now. They let me try Vegemite. It wasn't too bad considering I didn't try it on bread or something else.
