Victorian, couple of hours south of Melbourne.
Waves from Sydney
Yeah, but he’s a bit slow on the draw.
I’m still an American, BTW. I just love a good dead language pun.
Mornington or Great Ocean Road?
600,000 of us in Australia.
Martini Enfield is another Kiwi/ex-Kiwi.
I’m in Melbourne too, born and bred.
Sydneysider here. Hi!
You can add me.
Hi. Checking in from the Sunshine Coast, about an hour north of Brisbane. Anyone further north?
Brisbane here but until two years ago I lived in Perth.
Canadian, living in Melbourne now for 5-1/2 years.
Kiwi - just here to keep our convict cousins on the straight and narrow.
Canberra here! but originally from NZ.
Really loving the whole ‘special visa’ thing for new zealanders which offers zero social protections, bars us from most jobs in canberra, voting, even Insurance in some cases, etc while demanding I still pay full taxes and medicare levy for services I will never be entitled to use or have a say about…
meanwhile 12000 asylum terrorists from Syria, pardon me refugees, will get everything handed to them, even pensions they havent earnt, or jobs they neednt apply for, where applicable.
Australia, be ashamed; I used to think you were awesome when I last lived here in the 90s.
that escalated quickly!
Yes well someone has to say it, it stinks that newzealanders, who incidentally couldnt claim dole in Oz on arrival since 1986,
sorry to burst that old bubble/excuse/stereotype,
are treated worse than literal terrorists syrians/lebs/iranians, “ex” communists croats/serbs and boat people - again mostly from communist countries, mostly the children of the wealthy who could afford to send their kids to uni in Oz, i.e. Communist officials!!
All these shady charcters can get jobs in highly sensitive government agencies and they DO because I know some personally, while new zealanders … gee … who knows what state secrets new zealand might want to get a hold of… ? FARCE.
Anzac my eye. Prove me wrong Australia, you gutless backstabbers.
Anyway go back to the love in, " brothers"
Bitter, party of one, your table is ready.
G’day from the Hills district of Sydney.
Loooooooooong-time lurker (I remember the fad of having “Hi, Opal!” as the third bulletpoint of EVERY list on SDMB), but not so much a poster.
Typical Sydneysider - paid $150 for 2 tickets to a NYE vantage point, then after the fireworks, said ‘meh’
In such instances you can only quote that Oracle in Gum Boots, the wonderful Fred Dagg
Bellarine Peninsula, not quite the GOR.
