Horsetan Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Ahh Kevin Bloody Wilson (AKA Dennis Bryant). I met him a couple of times many, many years ago. - he looks a bit like Rory McGrath,,,, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 During Harves time we have the Harvest fly, a minute little critter smaller than a grain of salt and, apart from being annoyingly itchy, that's about as life threatening as it gets but I doubt the same could be said about the Oz Harvest fly with, no doubt, enough venom to floor a herd of elephants. Of course, we do have Scotland's midges - nasty little beasties that only eat tourists and dive on them in relentless squadrons and never miss their target - any exposed flesh from South of the Border.

monkeysarefun Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Larrimah seemed to be further south than it looks on the map, I stopped there heading south after going to Matarankah Springs back when there was no speed limits and you could drive through there as fast as your car could go. I didn't have a pie but, or feed peoples pets to Sneaky Pete. The ABC has a bit of a background story featuring obligatory suitably quirky outback characters. average Australians. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-01/larrimah-where-are-paddy-moriarty-and-his-dog-kellie/9380782 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Streak Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Saw that tourism Australia Ad, it's quite neat. There's this one going around as well. I quite like it as it's got Margot Robbie in it playing a typical Aussie Bogan Chick, beating blokes up They've got to make it ( The movie ) now surely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnA4DGoihak Edited February 6, 2018 by The Blue Streak 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan. All news here is about our favourite New Zealander Deputy PM, (now officially Australian apparently, haven taken the Aussie oath:) so we've had no time to fit in snakes and spiders. Here is a quick recap intended for Americans but it will probably work for you too since John Oliver has an English accent, and it features the Aussiest bloke ever in there...

TheGunslinger Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Barnaby Joyce. Old trouser snake's been playing away from home again. And we as a collective nation have been trying to erase that particular mental image.

The Blue Streak Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) The John Oliver clip was gold, pure gold! and a classic from the two Ronnies - Loved it. Anyway something for Allan to stop his cravings, a snake wrangler and his missus rescue a very peed off Tiger Snake from a beer can. Gotta love the comment half way through - "This is a bit of an awkward Fffd up situation". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iljPVCl-yU Edited February 21, 2018 by The Blue Streak 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
