* You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in
-o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc.

* You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are.

Bakes,

I had those meat pies after we came down from the gatta Mountains and either they were exceptional or I was tired of the bush grub.
Either way I enjoyed the Hell out of them.
