Learn the pleasures of Bunderburg Rum..............Bundy and cola is the stuff. If someone calls you a yabo , that would be bad !!!!!L Get ready for the time of your life
Ryan, Sure looking forward to the stories and pictures of this trip and events. Should be fine weather and Melbourne is a wonderful city. We enjoyed the 2+ years spent there leading Ford Design - '90-'92. Hope you are taking the family and travel a bit, they will never forget all the unique aspects of the country.
It's what it is, and yes sure u pay a little more for some essentials of life but it is the premier country in the universe for me!
On the "Bucket List." Pics are a must. Do toilets flush clockwise or counter-clockwise down under? Above the equator toilets flush counter-clockwise.
Toilets flush straight down in Oz. If you find yourself in a roadster near the sea - watch out for Pelicans!
toddc, I ask because I worked for a plumbing company while in college. The plumbers told me how toilets flush above and below the equator. I should mention the plumbers did say, if you are located directly on the equator the toilet dumps straight down...no rotation.
Ryan, if you feel the urge to come over to Mt. Gambier, South Australia, there,s an A coupe sittin here that your welcome to use. Cheers
Watch out for our Aussie mates offering you a pair of velcro gloves and a sheep....walk away!!! But seriously, you'll have a great time. Not stopping off in NZ on your way past ???
HaHaHa! Are you trying to kill him. Cars drive on the left side of the road, so they are approaching from your right when you step off the curb.
I forgot to mention, you have try the traditional Aussie "7 course meal" A "pie floater" and a six pack
Lookin' forward to catching up next week Ryan and at the Run. You'll have a blast for sure....lets hope the weather is lookin up coz it been shite this week haha !! Have a safe trip !! Rat
Vegemite works great for greasing up ya nipples (on ya car). Yeah that came across wrong.Keep it on ya toast. When you have built up a thirst...Just look for "Coopers SPARKLING-ALE" at the local bottle shop.Its nice and light and wont affect your judgment trust me.
Ha ! when i read about your trip, with a lawyer. getting arrested and the story a little off, all i could think was "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" Have a great time !
Ryan, hope you have a safe trip. Be sure to bring proper shoes for a "walkabout" and big knife ala "Crocodile Dundee". Oh yeah, have great time and can' t wait to see what adventures await the yanks from Texas! Cat
Dr. Gonzo: Sounds like big trouble. You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of Texas for at least 48 hours. Blows my weekend. Raoul Duke: Why? Dr. Gonzo: Because naturally I'm going to have to go with you. And we're going to have to arm ourselves... to the teeth! Raoul Duke: Well why not? Shit if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right! This is the American Dream in action. We'd be fools not to ride this strange torpedo all the way to the end!
Hey Ryan, remember keep your arse out of the gutter (if driving) Vegemite is actually recycled axle grease Try a dim sim,no one knows what they are made of but they taste great Fanny has a different meaning down here. Have fun
