Wow, good to see a different perspective from another Aussie. Can't wait to see those other couple of ungrateful Aussies come back to address this beauty. Great job! And for what its worth, you got me laughing out loud this early in the morning.
I spent a week in Sydney on my R & R from that beautiful paradise called Vietnam during the war in 1971. The Opera House was going through its final building completion, and I was getting laid by various hookers downtown. Never did get to see the outback, but did run into the aborigines down at the marketplace. Pounding down a few mitty's at the tavern brings back fond memories. And, oh yes, topless girls at Bondi Beach, or was that me topless.
Yeah, same can and has been said of myself, as I managed to pick up a case of PTSD at the 100% disability level along the way for my efforts over there.
bit off topic and personal but .. Ever gone back there? or thought about going back? take it to pm if you want?
Told the folks over there I would be back for sure when I was 21, but that was 40 years ago and I haven't quite had the opportunity to do so. I have a cousin living in New Zealand, but I doubt I get to vist that place either. Very few majority WHITE nations left.
No you are not TALKING TO me at all. It seams that most aussies want to put their heads in the sand over this and don't want to deal with the abo issue. It doesn't really surprise me.
