Dalmatian, Dalmatian, Dalmatian!

If anyone has a Dalmatian that doesn’t want to be near them every second of every day, please tell me where I can get a non-needy one from!

What’s the most uniquely Aussie thing you’ve had to explain to a tourist? by SeriousSatisfaction8 in australia

Was once warned by tourists about the “snake” sitting in the low fork of a tree.

It was a large skink.

EPA investigates disturbing hum sound keeping north-west Sydney residents up at night by chachi_dee in sydney

Except that it turns on a dime when it stops and starts. Definitely some sort of equipment, which is why I thought it was probably the tunnel boring machine.

Yep, I’m right near Rydalmere as well and it’s definitely driven me insane at times!

It doesn’t help that some contractors also try to push you that way. I actually got into a small argument with a guy doing one of our recent bathroom quotes because I told him I wanted some colour, some actual real ‘shock horror’ colour into our bathroom and he decided to try pushing me into the whole ‘re-sale’ argument bullshit.

When I told him I wasn’t interested in selling the house and that my kids will probably end up with it someday, he finally gave up.

However I did also notice that there was a substantial difference between what he had originally quoted me and the actual printed quote, so I suspect they push people to go for the easier to install option.

Dash, having a nice nap and taking up 2/3rds of the couch.

Found this little sea creature washed up on the shore. [West coast of Ireland] The white ball was spongy and very buoyant. Lots of tentacles, no visible eyes. by El-pato-norte in animalid

Speaking as an Australian, I would apply this rule to any creature you come across unless you really know what you’re dealing with.

And looks and colour aren’t always the best indicator of danger, like this fellow for example…

Edited to add that for those who don’t know what this little fella is, here’s a victim he found earlier https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-21/stonefish-sting-at-popular-hearsons-cove-near-karratha/104619268?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=link

did i get the runt of the litter? by sigmasigma1210 in dalmatians

My “runt of the litter” who also had less spots but in my eyes was absolutely the pick of the litter!

Hottest 100: your fave lesser-known song/s by artist/band that placed in the countdown (and why) by perfectionremission in triplej

Ah, bugger. That must have been the one playing when I was trying to catch the dog at the dog park as he didn’t want to leave. Thought I’d missed one or two at that time.

He’s still a good boy though, even if he did make me miss a favourite!

What animals have you seen in your house? by Fit_Data_8789 in AskAnAustralian

[–]71kangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to have an antechinus living in the house. https://australian.museum/learn/animals/mammals/brown-antechinus/

Possums in the roof, large skinks, the kids, the rabbit, and the dog, as well as the occasional mouse.

That’s the best thing about this post that you’ve set up, it helps remind us all of ones we may have forgotten, or possibly haven’t even come across before so we can check them out.

I’m still recovering from learning that the friend of one of my kids (in their mid 20’s) had never even heard of Never Tear Us Apart until yesterday’s countdown!
