![]() My (sydneysider un-communist) brother says you're nuts if you buy an Australian-made car. He says no one buys them because everyone knows they're all sh*t. I'm not joking, he really said that
![]() What do other Australians say? |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first song that I played in the car was of course "Racing in the Streets" by the boss. I love street racing. The car is totally not PC. If you get on it, it swills premium. I only drive a few miles to work so it is ok. A really fun car if you like to wallow in wretched excess. |

![]() Air Conditining would be a must. 30+ at night is ridiculous
Could I accept Australia putting us to the sword with the willow?

![]() The only time I use it is during the daytime, I work nights so when I get home early morning, I put it on lowest setting when it's going to be a ridiculously hot day, But other than work days, we tend too use the ceiling fans, I like them better ![]() I remember when I was a kid, kept asking Dad when we were getting an air conditioner, over and over all summer. His response was simply this...If it's hot you're gonna be hot, it's what nature wants....In other words he didn't want too spend cash ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I really think that the (early) homesteaders had it right, with large shady verandas right round the home.
Also good areas for entertaining. In Queensland many of the old houses (called 'Queenslanders') were built on stilts, to allow air-flow underneath. Where i am it's a little cooler at night. A friend of mine built a place using cement blocks incorporating cinders (which he sourced from a local factory) using a brick press. The cinders provided insulation. He later painted the walls white, inside and out and with large verandas front and back (which served as a carport at the rear) and large french windows in front, overlooking the countryside. The place had an almost constant, pleasant temperature. A few fires at night in the middle of winter in this enormous open fireplace took the chill out of the air for the whole house and the whole thing looked a million dollars.

![]() What It Means Too Be Australian ![]() ![]() ![]() I had quite a few friends over this afternoon and into evening for a BBQ, Long weekend here ![]() ![]() ![]() As I was going through this thread, I was also thinking of the day I had. I thought of the above question in this post, then thought of my mates and their wives, GF's etc... A huge mix of cultures there, backgrounds include, English, Scottish, Irish, Italian, Croatian, Austrian, Chilean, Greek, Chinese, Dutch, Czech, German, Lebanese, Ukranian... I think I got em all. But that's what it means to be Australian, a mix of cultures with a small population of 22 million making this place a bit of a powerhouse considering it's small population but huge physical size and making this place work. Being once isolated, I think we've done a fine job using all those cultures making this the greatest Country on the planet ![]() ![]() I am Australian ![]() ![]() ![]()
