Cane toads don't like detol.

One tiny squirt from a spray bottle with a 50/50 solution of detol and water and the cane toad is history.

Just grit your teeth and say I can do it. It may not be...

It's an Aussie thing

Have you ever noticed how the Aussies like to shorten or change your name for you? It's something I noticed as soon as I arrived which was over 40 years ago. I'd had my name for 20 years and all of...

Re: Aborigines?

Do non-indigenous people who booze, sniff petrol, smoke cigarettes, eat junk food and are violent also die young?

Aboriginals do not have the same or even better access to health care than white...

Re: Aborigines?

It's no use asking me the sixty-four thousand dollar question because I don't know the answer.

Maybe it's because they are a primitive race and are more susceptible to modern day illnesses than...

Re: Aborigines?

Re: What could happen if I "forget" to lodge my tax returns ?

I retired a couple of years ago and I've had a little problem with the tax department since last October and one thing I have found out is that they have set up a new system. I don't know what this...

Re: What could happen if I "forget" to lodge my tax returns ?

If you don't work or receive centrelink payments there's no need to lodge a return.

If you do work and pay tax it cannot be rolled over to the next year.

Re: What could happen if I "forget" to lodge my tax returns ?

If you are working for an employer who takes tax out of your earnings and you haven't worked for a full year you almost certainly will be due for a refund.

If you don't lodge a return and you are...

Re: Fossicking!

Thanks for jogging my memory earlybird :)

My kids grew up in Armidale and I would say it was as good or even better than most places.

I lived in Armidale for over 20 years, not a bad spot ;)

I know nothing about fossicking for gold but I do know a little about sapphires.

If you're lucky you can find sapphires down the big...

Re: Pauline Hanson - O the irony!

Re: Sick of everyone calling Australia racist.

It all boils down to personal perception of words. To me a gollywog is nothing but a toy doll or a little paper doll in a jar of jam, that's the way I was brought up. I may have grown up in the...

Re: Sick of everyone calling Australia racist.

What is wrong with it, what is offensive/racist about a gollywog? Is it the actual gollywog or is it the word gollywog?

What is the difference between a gollywog and raggedy ann?

Re: Why do Brits stick in the US more than Aus?

The original question "why do brits stick in the US more than Aus?"
