@Patrick. It's a line from Oils song [Lucky Country] referencing the wonderful times I was member of the Bob Hawke surf team.

I went to this amazing beach last Friday. Best beach I’ve seen that didn’t have waves.

Epic YS

So inviting. What was the water temp like ?

I went diving that day and the water was 23 degrees. Not super warm but August in North Queensland is pretty sweet. No stingers to worry about.

This one goes out to you Gary G.

Sorry to hear about schoolies mate.

P.S. Sing it as loud as you like.....

Gary might be able to host schoolies at his lair?

If the Govt limit is 10 under one roof, I think he could make do with that.

Gary & schoolies, mmm I remember a Captain Goodvibes instalment in old Tracks. More correctly I remember one scene where an exhausted Captain is dragging himself out of a huge bed full of busty maidens and the sign above the bed read vassals must vacate the bed by 10 am!

Wrong thread mate....

Maybe an interesting turn?

Thank fuck the flag-rooting oi! oi! oi! bullshit still really doesn't gird the loins despite the mass seepage of the Howard regime years?

I love how Aussie’s have no time for turkeys.

There used to be episodes of Frontline on youtube but looks like they've gone now.

Cheers mattlock, I thought it was something like that and a lyric.

"I love how Aussie’s have no time for turkeys."

Hmmm, then post the bit from Mad Max where the Goose - a copper - calls the bloke who's just been bashed and raped by bikies a turkey for bolting away! Like a...?

Right........................................

Australia has no Bill of Rights & legally spy & raid the innocents but never the evil.
Oz is not a signatory to Death Penalty so o/s War on Terror Plot is inadmissible.
During a US election OZ PM can take out Chinese infiltrator! (We're good for that!)

Proving that Oz is central to 5 eyes Spy Network & World Slave / Prisoner Trade.

Most countries don't speak Australian or even know where their English is!
Doubt if UK would order any other fall guy + he eats onions!

Q: Would EU really pull out of Free Oz Deal to claw back UK (Finance)Trade losses?
Yeah! But Oz probably has a bigger Army than NATO...we don't do we? Seriously!

Abbott reports to PM Scomo...That the Thames Toll Booth is overflowing with Tips!

Listening to a boobook ( mopoke ) as I went to sleep last night. All was silent except for the shore break and it’s lonely call. Perfect.

Hahahaha.

Who here has seen the film Swinging Safari?

Australia's own little songbird is in it. She's on the soundtrack too, of course.

Road trips.
Interesting too...

Watched Priscilla for the first time since it came out on a red eye flight earlier this year. I liked it. Great cast.

I watched "Last Cab to Darwin" on a plane a couple of years ago and it was a really nice surprise. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Priscilla is a great movie. I have a few friends that move in those circles and they're the best value.

93 years of Fantales, and we've all turned our back on them because they are unappealing and rip fillings.. but I'm sad. All sold out. Anyone get any for the pool room?

I was sad to read about Fantales too. Reminds me of my youth. Those and Minties and Jaffas.

Bliss was a great movie and even better book. Is Vance Harry?

haha, found a rogue bag on the top of the racks at foodland.. mixed lollie bags won't be the same without the odd fantale (and minties and jaffas [and freckles] for sure!)

Favourite food or satirical calling out of a fellow contributor? Works well either way. :)

How good, when they brought them back basesix!
Very funny Blackers!

Well there you go, I thought they were gone forever. Will have to track them down. This should be in the Good News thread. Thanks.

Yes Blackers. I get them at the local newsagent.

scorched peanut bars came up in a thread about sara lee, violet crumble and such.. (can't find it now) and the rescuing of brands (sara lee new owners have a heart-warming message on their site..? I have 3 cheesecakes still in my freezer), and are a nsw invented thing.. I've found the bars from robe to port fairy, very cool, but today just bought a bag of their new bites to have with a coffee on the drive home.. dangerous.

You could get a job with them basesix ;);)

they are real snobs, regarding us cookie men.
the ice creamers get on well with them at conventions though ; )

Ice creamers? Slang for....?

Scorched Peanut Bars are native to Wollongong.

Brought back from extinction by a local and now they grow on trees.
