It just annoys me listening to them/reading what they write sometimes...there are so many
people around the world who could do a much better job and get no recognition at all.
Thanks, RaM. Kind words, mate.
No worries.
So who do you follow in the A-League DB10? I'm guessing your once-local Brisbane?

Good friend of my parents has a dog that's a Dingo crossbreed.
Not seen a Dingo in the wild though.
I see a lot of Kookaburras, Cockatoos and Galahs though.
And red back spiders...and a goanna...and a few blue-tongued lizards...all live practically in my backyard.

I'm sure I read in Bill Bryson's
Down Under book that you have to change trains on the Indian Pacific as the train tracks are different widths from one territory to another!
I think the Indian Pacific also has the longest straight section of any railway line in the World!
Wow!

Sadly no. All of my travel within Australia has been confined to the East coast (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, ACT). But I do intend to rectify that in the next few years.

Pretty sure you don't have to change trains anymore...because the tracks are the same width now.
And it does have the longest straight section of straight track, its called the Nullarbor Plain.

I heard that they're a Karnivool tribute band apparently, whoever the hell they are...

Karnivool is too good to have a tribute band. Any attempts to mimic them would end only in dismal failure. Because no one can compare.
