So you don't mind reptiles, how about this little fella then

holy crap! What kind of snake is that!? Look at all the teeth!.. like the bastard stepchild of a rattlesnake and a crocodile..

If the fence killed it, the electric fence people should put this picture on their sales brochure.. That would sell me on the spot.

This in addition to spiders the size of house cats. Yet another good reason to stay the eff out of Oz..

Came up to the roof of the hotel here in Sydney to watch the sun rise, when a local showed up and said "G-Day!"

Beautiful Garth!

That must be an expensive hotel being so close to the Opera house and all...

Actually the hotel wasn't all that bad per night. The ones that are right on the harbor are what cost $$$. The room was a bit small for what we paid, but the view from the roof made up for it in my opinion.

It's a kick to see how fascinated K-man is with American T.V. We have to stay in places that have cable or satellite service. Plus seeing American commercials dubbed in Aussie voices and the products altered with CGI to match their labels is funny.

A lot of things are the same as in the states, although there subtle differences.

If you come down to ride, bring a kidney belt. The roads leave something to be desired.

Glad your enjoying your trip Brother Bean

As for the roads, the last time my daughter & her family when to Sydney my Grandson complained about the potholes & they flew down

It is difficult to avoid but it is possible :nam1: oh except for NCIS

we like that :big grin: and Boston Legal.

but that's probably because I have worked at Boston ( Westborough and Burlington - gotta love that mall

and I really miss those trips up to Kittery to the shopping outlets ) I have also worked at Marina Del Ray in LA pity you have to be a mega drug lord to own one of those boats parked there

You are so right about the advertisements, the one I hate the most ATM is one for the Ab King Pro they haven't even bothered to dub the voices.

I have spent quite a bit of time working in Spain, Holland, Italy and France and its soooo

funny watching US shows dubbed in the local language.

Did he say anything about some clown fish - blowing up sharks, wrestling with jellies & riding the EAC with a bunch of turtles?

Just wondering.

Garth, was excellent spending the arvo with you and Klavdy. Hopefully next time you get down this way I will have my shit slightly more together and will be able to spend more time in the saddle with you.

I hope the flight home works out as good as your flight over, time adjustment wise.
Later mate.
