AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, OI OI OI!!!!:rasta:
We have seen so much and yet we have only just started really,it still amazes me even living in Aus ,just how much we have got to see and do in this Country.Onward we go .....Where now mmm lets check the map ...I think Mt Gambier Will be our next stop.We are getting close to the border now nearly time to say goodbye to my home state S>A..and move into Victoria but S.A has another wonder to offer yet MT Gambier..home to the Blue lake.and the sunken garden.The blue lake changes colors with the seasons............Mount Gambier, South Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wow. The Limestone Coast sounds amazing! Especially that Naracoorte Cave. And the Victoria fossil cave. WOW! Very beautiful. (yes, I read all the links you provide! Great info!)
I'm definitely now moderately obsessed with all things Australian! Shall we make it CRAZY obsessed? :silly: I'm almost there!
yea i think im pretty obsessed with it too..... everything is so beautiful.. love the gardens..
now its time to leave my beloved state South australia,we are now crossing the border into Victoria ,this is the third state we have visited so far on this tour.Our first stop Hamilton.............Hamilton, a large town at the centre of a rich agricultural plain between the Grampians and the coast, prides itself as the â??wool capital of the worldâ??. The label is reinforced by the Big Woolbales Centre on the approach to the town.
But the title was dearly bought, forged in the blood spilt in a series of bitter clashes between the white settlers and local Aboriginal tribes.
Most of those who died were Aborigines defending their tribal lands and their women. Although records are sketchy, it is reported that in one incident in the Western district, 40 Aboriginal men, women and children were surrounded and shot after they reportedly stole about 120 head of sheep.....About the Grampians The Grampians Victoria
awww what is he doin to the sheep??? i don't like that ... but the history is pretty awesome..
he is only shearing it Blazin...it doesnt hurt the sheep, gotta get the wool off em some how.Quote:

Yeah I suppose its hard to tell whats happenin in that photo unless u have seen shearing before..I worked in shearin sheds when i was younger ...very hard work!...heres some more pics of shearing ................
I heard Australia has some world class sheep shearers. And from what I gather, the sheep actually dont mind it too much. Its kind of a relief to get all that wool off.
i thought it would be hard to do that job , i think you have to be skilled i dunno... looks to hard for me..i bet it takes along time too.
For sure happy ,in the Mallee when i was workin in the sheds a Gun shearer we worked with cld shear 500 sheep a day, they were only getting Abt $1:80. each, still a damm good wage for a days work.:thumbsup:Quote:

No worries buddy. God bless them.
And, yes, I love history, especially gold mining .Its very close to my heart! I live in the "Gold Country" in California.- My hometown,Nevada City, California, has a very rich gold mining history.
What a beautiful road, The Great Ocean Road. Unbelievable rock formations! My husband and I have taken a road trip on Californias Pacific Coast Highway. It also is truly breathtaking. Road trips are my thing!! My dream vacation is a road trip across America from coast to coast! *sigh* Someday.......someday.....
You have a very beautiful country! Very beautiful, indeed!
What are the police like in your country are they relativly cool.Or are they bad assess.Do they carry guns?Are your taxes high?
ladies and gents Welcome to Melbourne
Melbourne is set around the shores of Port Phillip Bay. The city itself, laid out in a large rectangle and boasting a lively and cosmopolitan pulse, sits on the northern banks of the Yarra River, about five kilometres from the bay..........Melbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
most of our police come from the U.K Austalia welcomes police officers with open arms according to the government we dont have enough.yes they carry guns but shootings are rare.As for taxes yeah we get taxed for everything but hey we get by .:DQuote:
