Ahh the ones on the natural high or is that a pound high.

The threads cool, nobodies running it down just lightheartedly discussing myths, actually some of them are not myths!

Snakes in the pool, we found a 5 foot snake happily swimming around our pool last summer it was about 6.30 just getting dark, been hot as hell all day got home from work ready to dive in, notice what looks like a stray piece of pool hose and go to grab it when I realise its not straight but moving around like a snake, because it is a bloody snake. Its not likely to happen every day but it happens alright

:scared: :scared: Better not visit Queensland then, you seem to get alot of them up there... or is this a regional misconception of mine?

I must admit to thinking you guys have a lot of creepy crawlies, I haven't seen a lot here in Perth, not seen a redback yet but I think we had a huntman around (hubby moved it away from the house).

Perth probably hasnt got that hot yet? and no 27's not hot that will bring them out, plenty of snakes in wa too, they probably like a swim now and again too. Perths specialty is flies ours is more crickets, cicadas, toady things, which on reflection I probably prefer

Was it Trevglass who had a dead roo in his pool last week........?? :scared:

PMSL, I read that as "had a dead poo in his pool" Ooops!

Too much, best thread for ages.

Yeh did you not read Bill Bryson - Down Under - he mentions something about all the things that happen in Queensland

It was a really good book.

It had been a hot day. hot as hell. Whilst slithering back to my hole I came across a resort style tropical lagoon (aka Jads pool). looked left, no one there, looked right, not a whisper of even a hopper, so sneaked in. Water so cool and refreshing after a long day frightening new poms, but then............splash! Whats this? Someone wanting to play with me hey? All I wanted was a nice cooling swim and someones shoved my arse on a tap and is trying to use me as a hose! love from the snake in Jads pool!

Laugh, your not in adelaide are you?, been poppin a few e's before watching the news and cooking the tea again

Well guys, I've stretched me clacks, gonna sit round the camp fire with the billy singing waltzing matilda and getting as pissed as a rats bladder! Might even pull my muff up around my ears, and blow my dijiridoo like good ole rolph harris! (and yes I know I can't spell)!

Just make sure you zip up your tent properly when you retire, dont want any 4 meter crocs slipping in and dragging you off do we now.

Ahhh not forgetting to collect the kids from school, well I'm female we can do 'e's in our pinny's and multitask! Remember they're cheap as chips here!

Misconception of Oz by 8 yr old Bethany.....

"Mummy when Aunty Polly moves to Australia will she have a toilet in her tent?"
"What makes you think she'll be living in a tent?"
"Well Miss Thing at school said they have deserts in Australia and I know in deserts they live in tents, so Aunty Polly will have to live in one too, and I was a bit worried in case there wasn't a toilet in the tent........."

A good book to read is "A secret country - By John Pilger" That is the true image of Australia...

Oh........... and not all Australians are nice people! Worked beside some real witches and backstabbers, just like here then :scared: .
