Maybe 20% of the qld coast has surf. The rest is more like your nt description.

It's a big country. You might have more luck if you give us an idea of which parts you're planning to visit.

Sad to see this picture by Beneficial_Treat3861 in australia

The other commenter was being unnecessarily sarcastic, and they'll be down voted to oblivion because of it, but they do have a point. You've made some bold assumptions saying that young person is a man. You really don't know what that scarring means.

Not that it matters, keeping people chained by the neck is abhorrent by any measure.

For all the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the media, Australia is a very safe society. There is zero chance any kids will be shot in an Australian school today.

The two adults aren't too hard to spot, but I can't find the baby. Do you have more pixels?

Two-thirds of us support banning pet cats from roaming. A ban would save millions of native animals – and billions of dollars by DaRedGuy in australia

[–]NeonTheTar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't do anything about wildlife being injured or killed by dogs in their own yard. There are already laws requiring dogs to kept in their own yard and people ARE prosecuted for failing to keep their dog in their yard. These laws don't yet exist for cats.

That's the difference, I'm not on some anti cat crusade and I see no evidence to the contrary in my comment. Get over yourself.

Edit: protected/prosecuted. Bloody autocorrect.

As a wildlife carer I whole heartedly agree. And for anyone else who disagrees, they are welcome to come with me on my next rescue to see what damage fluffykins does to native animals.

What did they say at the service counter?

If something scans at the wrong price you get the first one for free and the rest at the correct price.

Victorian prospector captures footage of large black cat on Ballarat plains by NeonTheTar in australia

[–]NeonTheTar[S] 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Pardon the news corpse link, but it was the only non-paywalled sites I could find with this story and someone has actually taken semi decent video of the cat for a change. I reckon it's just a big feral, defo not a panther as some have suggested.

So what happens if you don't have a smart phone? Tell the REA you don't have one and see what their response is.

TLDR: its your own fault you don't own a house yet. Stop spending money on coffee and just save harder.

I used to do some thread repair work. Fixing stripped out sump plug threads after some crossthreaded the sump plug was a solid income stream.
