Shit! I've been bit

[cc rider]

How the heck is anyone still alive over there ??? Survive this lot and you'll probably die of heat stroke or thirst and your house is almost guaranteed to burn down...No wonder the poms sent the crims there, it's the grim reapers party town

Natural selection, mate. We just kill/eat everything before they kill/eat us.


ps tourists help keep the count down

On the plus side I have yellow cockies, black cockies (the feathered sort)
Crimson Rosellas, various Lorikeets, Parakeets, Finches, Bellbirds, Wattlebirds etc. Kookaburras & Owls in the back yard too. Even discovered a pair of Red-wiskered Bulbul calling my garden home.

And it never failed to amaze me how loud they became at sunset, increadable

Haha! Tell me about it. It's 6.25pm here & the cockies should be doing their flyover departure from my area to their night time abode, soon. Hell of a racket. They fly low enough to make eye contact & squawk at ya. Too funny. Always makes me nervous when they sit on the clothes line on a wash day.

ps when were you over here, dangerous?

Have added link. (fingers crossed it works) It's a nice spot, you can feed the birds by hand.
Springbrook & Natural Bridge are worth a look, too. Natural Arch waterfall is the spot for a plunge on a hot day.

Yeah, Canungra is an army base. Mt Tamborine is a nice scoot. Anywhere south of that area is. Inland is a little cooler & greener.

I'm up there before you get back I think, kev. But I'll PM you when I have my days set. Will only be a quick visit to see family. But definitely will find the time for a drink with a mate.

cheers

Wow! Small world. I'm from Stafford. Did you ever get out to Samford or Lakeside? The Mt Nebo ride is a good one too.

yeah Mt Tamborine, used to take a hoon out there often, head in at Canungra and take the bush (kiwi word) walt through the canvas of the tree tops

I lived in the caravan park along the creek at Canungra, then on a dairy farm at the base of Beechmont. Last farm on the road. Very peaceful.
There's a tree top walk??? Gosh, feel old now. Wish I knew this on Wed. We could of had a nice chin wag.

[kevfromcoro]

Africa has even more nasty animals than Australia.

Really? please elaborate? I kept reading that Aus was the most poisonous place on earth.

I've lived in South Africa for 7 years so I know what it's like. There are venomous scorpions and snakes which will kill you with 1 bite. Ostriches are common and can be very aggressive. They have been known to kill people. Lions kill people, so do elephants. Mosquitos spread deadly diseases. Cape Buffalo are capable of killing lions. Then there are leopards, rhinos and hyena. You're not safe in the water either. Great white sharks are extremely common around Seal Island, and many other coastal areas. Deadly jellyfish also thrive in those waters. In the northern parts of the country crocodiles also exist. And the greatest threat of all, is the kaffir.

My brother used to have a place in Beaudesert.
Had a fucking Huntsman on the kitchen ceiling the other morning - they don't half give you a fright when you're half asleep. A few white tails and thousands of Redbacks - had one in the barn built a web on the bike handlebars one night - bastige! And I've got to watch it when I get my home brew out of the storage boxes.... The ones I don't like are those gnarly looking tree spiders that build webs after the sun goes down - normally across footpaths or between bushes. It can be clear one minute, you go out to the chook pen or dog run and wallop - straight through a new web with an irate spider running around yr neck!!!! Haven't seen any snakes (alive) so, obviously, making enough noise around the place - mainly Dugites and Tigers around our way. Parrots - thousands of Galahs, 28's, black and white cockatoos - the bastards eat all yr fruit of the trees and chop off any shoots they can get - got 2 grape vines that got badly pruned by the shits this year - still - the dog is doing her best to keep the numbers down.
