Zeity beat me to it, but its a good point. Be careful out there K2P2, it can be dangerous. Make sure you take lots of fluids everywhere you go, in case you get stuck in the outback, and get your anti-venom shots before you go.Originally posted by k2p2 View PostJust wangled a trip (paid for by clientCo) to sunny, sunny Sydney for November.


It's gonna be hot!
I have this mate right (had actually. RIP Andy) and he was walking down the street in Sydney minding his own business when his arm brushed an ordinary hedge. There was a sixteen foot web on the other side containing a colony of hunstman spiders, that zoomed down sensing prey. He struggled hard but couldnt break free. When they got onto him, a passing bushman saved him from a grisly fate by beating them off with his diji-stick. He was so relieved that he went for a beer but wandered into a gay bar by mistake, he was beaten to death by hells angels when he left.
so be careful over there. its a dangerous wild country
no word of a lie, straight up

He was a tribal younger from the bumDingo tribe. The tribal elders live in the riverbed of the Todd river communing with boxes of Aussie white and they send the tribal youngers on walkabout into SydneyOriginally posted by norrahe View PostThey were hiding, they only have stealth bushmen in the city.
