We have about 2 weeks till me and the Mrs are Australians until 2014 or forever if your government lets me.

How's the Spring been?

Not sure what day we will be there, as I don't have the tickets from the office yet. Just know it's the week of the 10th.

I do know we are going to be living about 15 km North of the Capitol buildings downtown.

Its been pretty wet and green all over eastern Australia, so there are pretty good numbers of drop-bears and other game around...

Matt,

Great the wife wants to know if a slingshot is big enough for the bears or if we need a woomera?

I heard that's the traditional method anyway.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

That one looks ferocious, I heard they are the size of volkswagon beetles. Maybe they could be ridden with a proper saddle.

There's the reason convertibles are not popular in Australia. Personnelly I'm more concerned with Bunyips, Yowie's and my Mother In Law - I think there the same beast

I don't know that they are as big a chupacabra, but I guess I can see when I get down there.

There's quite a good repellant you can use that you ingest and let it work it's way out of your skin to keep the buggers up in the trees - it's called Bundy - it tastes like shit so you have to mix it with coke.

Not a fan of rum.

Might have to bring a 700 NE Double rifle or a 4 bore.

I've often found Cow carcases like this one and wondered what the hell happened!
Thankfully I usually carry the 425WR.
