RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted January 30, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2018 Oh we have not mentioned recently the one thing that you can't avoid is the weather... well here in Melbourne it was 30 on Saturday 39 on Sunday, 35 yesterday and 19 today....been hot now back to semi normal. I think the animals are so tough is because they are dealing with the crazy weather! ...and something like 70% of average January rainfall in one go last night according to the ABC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 According to 'Wild Australia' on Netflix last night, Oz is two thirds desert which probably means that God run out of ideas after having built the first third. However, He was showing off when he built Grimsby - or at least the part where we live cos we have a tree in our garden that we never planted and only one spider that ain't poisonous and which the wife calls Fred.

That’s no different to Oz really, you might only have one spider which isn’t poisonous, that’s about the same as any garden over there, it’s the ones which are poisonous that overrun the place.

allan downes Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) But beware you'se guys if ever you come to Blighty. We have killer cows over here where somewhere in Yorkshire some guy got surrounded by them and trampled to death. I think it was because he offered one a sandwich and tried petting it. Fortunately, my mother-in-law had a good alibi. She was in another field. Allan Edited January 30, 2018 by allan downes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan They really are deadly those killer cows, my next door neighbour met his end after coming into contact with the back end of a particularly tough one. He choked on a rump steak.

DougN Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You know how spiders behave it is Freda.... If it was Fred he will have a long life avoiding the female of the species... as they end up the first meal afterwards.....Is that why human males take the female out to dinner first.....

allan downes Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Watched a prog on Netflix about the most deadliest and poisonous critters in the Amazon. Real tame.

Those not found in Oz were probably eaten into extinction by the other snakes but bet your life they'll be back again. Oz ain't gonna be out done by the shortage of just a few measly snakes. !

allan downes Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Further to Manna's snake list, nature's on the case and working frantically to make up for Oz's snake deficiency by developing a Four Fanged Parrot that will carry enough venom to wipe out a small continent and, no doubt, to be released soon in a backyard near you. So, no worries there then. Oz back on top and then some. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Parrots will attack vehicles in the outback in their attempts to get inside and kill, you have to drive everywhere with your windows shut or else they will get in and get you. Not many bike riders make it safely across the continent.
