Australian members

Hello. If you're an Australian member, new to the site, and wondering where you might find some locals, post here. A few of us will keep an eye out and try to give you a bit of a welcome so you can find your way around.

TFOK.

You know what I learned about Australia today?

The venom from this

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

is entirely different than the kind of venom you'd normally associate with our local spiders and snakes. Instead of incapacitation to make it easier to consume, it's all about the PAIN. A pain so severe that even high doses of morphine are ineffective and the only easy way to treat it is a chemically induced coma to let the venom pass naturally.

And you wouldn't have the slightest idea if you decided to handle one of the cute little bastards

They're vicious! They leap out of the water at you if you get close!

I wish i'd known this before, I never would have come here!

I'm kind of annoyed at Tee for blurting this out in public, TBH. We don't need to be scaring off the tourists.

What's next a dingo story....

I've lived here all my life and never seen one so don't worry too much

They do eat babies...

*folds arms, glares*

Clearly its this:

I've never seen a dingo.....they suck!

Used To see them All the Time In the NT, They are slowly Getting hunted and bred out,

oh come on, this is exactly what we do at meets!

Dingoes are cool enough, they're looking good enough since the floods of the past couple of years.

It's the bloody taipans (inland variety) which are a bit keen at the moment cos the rats and mice have gone ballistic up here.

Also the mice spiders are out and about, bugs are pretty keen until the first real colds set in. Had only one night below 0 so far. Those suckers were created when god did some seriously bad acid!

And the rig cook's name is .... Bruce!!

This gorgeous little guy is called Bruce:

I promise the members of SGAU aren't as scary as our fauna!

ive seen dingo's. but we in WA arent awesome enough to have Platypus' so i can say ive never seen one.

Of course you call even your girls Bruce, i knew it!

Brucina.

What? You're dressed like that everytime you visit the UK.

At what age do you get your official sheep?

We saw a number of them this weekend on Fraser Island, they are harmless, until you get out of the car that is, then its on.....

You can glare all you like, but you linked to it in our group description, fearless leader

I got mine at 18 months.

We had platypus in the river at our place until the dickheads across the river poisoned the willows on the advice of the government. I haven't seen one since.

This is Australia, mate. We don't do anything official.
