Had one in my living room once also

What, an eagle or a brown snake?



Edit~ Here are some pics of an eagle under attack from a magpie, I especially like the last photo. Magpies will vigorously defend their territory. During nesting season they switch to ground attack mode and swoop humans.

Comrade Estreeter has no reason to fear snakes or birds, or even cops - have you seen his day-suit?

Not likely..............

Summer on Steroids

A climate “on steroids” was to blame for a summer of record-breaking heatwaves, severe bushfires, cyclones and floods, according to Australia’s leading climate change scientists.

It's been over 30 for the past 5 days in a row where I live, and not expected to go below that for another 7, and it's early autumn

I noticed it's been hot where you are. I always thought it would be colder there than say Sydney or Brisbane, but that's not the case this year, or at least not at the moment. Is that normal?

Is that normal

Does anything about this place appear normal to you

It does too me Anyway, I'm gonna answer you question.

Generally, Melbourne is hotter than Brisbane and Sydney in the summer months. Brisbane and Sydney tend too be warm to semi hot and humid.

I'm gonna answer your question like a teacher at school. So, pull up a front seat and desk and leave the teacher a pizza at end of lesson



Download that chart and view it full size..........

Now, between Australia and New Zealand you'll see a high pressure system. The high pressure systems only tend to be along that latitude, that's part of the problem. The wind direction around a high pressure system in counter clockwise down here. Now, see how the isobars from the high extend way up into central Australia..... All that inland hot air get directed straight down too South Australia and Victoria. It's also the reason Victoria is the most bushfire prone place in the world . Those kinds of winds wont get too Brisbane or Sydney so it wont get as hot, generally. It's not often their temps get above 35 C, it just tends too be more humid and stormy there. Perth and Western Australia has the same conditions as Victoria.

Understood

Now for my capitalist fee
Cheese, Tomato, Salami, Pepperoni, Anchovy, Mushroom and Olive pizza, Please

Yes, LOSE a serving PM and not know what happened to him

One day, Mr Holt went swimming and was never seen again. Nothing was found. Not his swimsuit, bones, watch...

When I read this, I thought "Come on, you can't just lose a PM", but they did

This led me to the library and to "Ways you can die horribly in Australia, vol 21"

So why does Comrade Estreeter have such a problem with the present PM? You know, sooner or later...

I had nothing to do with The Honorable Harold Holt disappearence, I was only 7 months old at the time and was having fun keeping my Mum busy changing nappies

Though, Click

He might have been eaten by a shark. Or maybe he was assassinated by secret agents from the Soviet Union. Of course, he could have possibly been picked up by a Chinese submarine. Others have said that he might have committed suicide or been picked up by a UFO. Such were the rumors and conspiracy theories that ran rampant after the disappearance of Harold Holt, Australia's 17th Prime Minister, on December 17, 1967.

The only difference between the Dishonorable Julia Gillard and Pinocchio is that Pinocchio don't have a fat ass

Hard to disagree with an eminent expert, but was Pinocchio's ass better than Gillard's?

You know something palo, You're one of the very few people that have asked me a question and I cannot answer, however it's also a question I never want too answer for the following reasons

1, I'm not really into getting splinters stuck into my member
2, I'm not really into sticking my member into lard

Some say Harold Holt landed in Brazil in 2008, breaking the world underwater swimming record.
