Dear Trevglas,
Another stupid law to add to your list of many.
We moved over from Dorset(southern England) and on the old bridges you would see a plaque stating if anyone was found de-facing or damaging the bridge, they would be deported to Australia. We often wondered if that law would be valid today. Cheap way of gettin to Oz don`t you think.
When we were at Byron Bay we were told off by a bloke for parking the wrong way round in a space. Apprently, you have to park as if you drove into the space, not reversed. Regards Louisa

P.s can you add a modern law .. compulsory voting .
Australia prides itself on it's freedoms and democracies, but then they have compulsory voting laws . uhh?
(Just as bad as democratic Britain having royals I suppose... at least Aus got a vote, no matter if it was cr@p way of doing it)
...............
A Brit law passed in the 1800's sometime - trying to commit suicide is a capital offence.
cheers

You're right, I'm not in Brisbane, not yet in any case. Aw c'mon, run starkers through the night! Why should Sydney get all that type of fun?
Brisbane needs more streakers. Hell, if I get enough bourbon in me, I might volunteer myself when I get home.

Funny you say that but I have seen a few streakers around here. Apparently it is a bucks night thing but the best man seems to join in as well. I have seen a few on the Parra road but the common one is the tunnel under Sydney airport runway. Who knows what the passengers on the 747 thought of the nudy running towards the tunnel.
