Sounds like you havent been drinking enough Fosters

 

One drink is too many Fosters.

Fermented Dingo spray - Uugh.

However I will be meeting the good woman in 3 hours or so for a nice cold pint of cider - after she finishes work.

I had a day unrostered so I can soak in the 27c with my kelpie at the beach.

Hard life,but hey,someones got to do it.

Sounds like a good time

 

Definitely had plenty of fun during the visits Ive had down under.

Cider is very tasty

 

 

Jk about the fosters - no one drinks that mess except for the Americans dumb enough to want to try an "australian beer". I believe the ones we receive here are actually produced in Canada?

All I know is that anyone who drinks Fosters or XXXX is very likely retarded.

Hey Andy, ever seen 'Wake in Fright' aka 'Outback'? Curious to hear a real Aussie's take on it. Crazy movie.

 

Never heard of it tbh - Wolf Creek is a goodie - if you like that sort of thing.

Going to IMDB to take a look - thanks Solar (I think.. lol )

Yes - now -after the IMDB thing.

Is that like a mining settlement - not now.

Then - probably.

 

The seventies era - to now - have changed so much.

I did some stints at Outoukompu ( a Nickel mine) and Big Bell (Gold).

Theres a gym,pool,wet mess (bar), library,restaurant,cleaners, fly-in,fly-out etc etc.

Zero tolerance for drunkeness,fighting,drugs etc.

At Big Bell, 2 guys punched on - both were on a chartered plane within the hour - gone.

The mining industry doesn't need grudges - it's dangerous enough as it is.

I did the blood,urine and hair tests etc - plus hearing assessments - no corners were cut - you screw up - you are out.

 

But that movie, whilst filmed in the 70's - probably is representative of the 40's/50's.

As you say - crazy film though.

 

For better Aussie stuff:

 

Wolf Creek

Tomorrow - when the war began

Lantana

Romper Stomper

Oh and, Priscilla - Queen of The Desert - if you really have too... lol
