Radar Detectors-Aussie

[Quasievil]

DARWIN eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk lived there for three years prick of a place, why oh why oh why would you want to go to that shite hole?????
see ya back in NZ in a month

I think:
- You will also find that the use of a radar detector in NSW is a VERY large fine.
- They even confiscate it on the spot.
- 100% ILLEGAL.
- They even employ detector detectors.

YOU can get radar detectors that turn off when they sense a radar detector detector.
apparently it works great too

Darwin - just up the road from me! (sort off)

Watch the roos - dusk and dawn are particularly bad - I had one close call this week and a brand new Falcon ute had a nice indentation in his bonnet further along the Toodyay road with an old man roo lying on the road.

Its worse where the bush hedges right up to the road

They are talking about banning detectors in WA but its only talk at this stage

Mate I NEVER rode in the bush after sundown if I could avoid it.

You get confused and turn into an Ocker.

............huh? What? Who did

Dave, 4 lines down and you will see that it is stated

The Northern Territory is an exception, as there is no speed limit on the highways.

Ah well, enough of that!

Basically I am going to Darwin, well, to be more exact, Batchelor!
My wife was offered a position at the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. This was/is an opportunity that couldn't be turned down due to the high salary, etc... Also a break from the headache inducing corporate world (She is a CA).
Soooooo, instead of telling me how crappy the place is, why not share some good things?
Weather wise, it is the same as we had when we were in South Africa, we both spent time in Zambia due to our fathers being a Geologist (her) and a civil engineering graduate (me), we lived in Durban and my parents had a game ranch in Hluhluwe.

Ok, this is long enough for me for now...

A 'Darwin Stubbie' holds about 2 pints of beer.....Broome is not far away, comparatively......good fishing.....hot - damn hot.

Places are what you make them.

That's a tough question.

I do recall reading about the USA developing an anti anti-missile missle. When tested it successfully shot itself down.

[Al]

I agree, we will look at this as another adventure...
Wife has been there since beginning of Feb this year, so she has a lot to "show and tell" when I arrive.
She has started flying training (each our own toys, hers is more expensive), and has also completed her 16th skydive/jump!
WoooooHoooo

And the new improved version worked even better..............it never left the ground.

Just had an old mate visit from Adelaide last week. He reckoned all the roads in the hills are now 80 kph . Seems we are not alone with our tax system here. There are four main roads out of Adelaide leading into heaps of great riding roads, just like having four lots of Rimitukas. Gaz.

Actually we copy everything Victoria does,
and they copy Sweden

When I was there last week I noticed some other bits (out toward the Barrossa) are 110 Km though.
Seems we can conclude speed only kills if you are in the wrong place....
