Hey fellow Aussies
Great thread and thanks for that
@Deja Vu
Yes I have had my brain removed he he. And hello
@Mr. Gweilo 420 &
@Frederick McGuire @herbivore21 @canj00digit? &
@4tokin among others.
Background...I'm originally Irish begorra & moved here to the Sunshine Coast Queensland after travelling quite a bit around.
that was 8 years ago from the U.K. to escape the cold and enjoy the lifestyle ,beer beaches and 4wding and fishing none of which I actually do regular,apart from a daily Guinness tonic or a beer or two at the weekend. I live a stones throw from Steve Irwins zoo and actually worked there for a time.he was a crazy guy and is respected and missed here..a little known fact..he loved to party hard say no more
I became naturalised last year on Australia Day.we have some of the toughest laws in the world here.i pass police random breath checkpoints daily esp during holidays,the police will just shut down a section of road/highway in a sting and screen every driver who stumbles unaware upon their checkpoints.mostly booze but they usually profile You and that's when the saliva tests are produced from those big white testing vans becoming more and more familiar.kids I've spoke to growing up here are scared and intimidated driving about tbh.its sad for them really.it was never like this for my generation growing up.facebook & twitter however have several threads spying on police cams and checkpoints warning people.
they the govt have just brought a new law in here just a few days ago because of all this Isis propaganda BS which allowed them to go to town with new restrictive laws that will control us more and send journos massive fines & straight to prison if they report on anything that is government sensitive.in other words if you are not govt media,say an independent media journalist and say the wrong thing you could end up in jail.go figure 1984 and Orwell are alive and well.
so for folks abroad wondering how do Australian people deal with their hard knocks and harsh rules?......the only way they know how. Most ignore it pretty much....gotta hand it to em,they don't give a flying f@&k
and do what they want regardless.there is a saying here it's only illegal if you get caught
Well laws here and general media brainwashing provoked me to move further away from the grid,that is no more TV in our home. No channels 9, 7 or 10 or even sbs on my TV. I stream all my shows advert free now at home from reliable websites through a PC straight to screen. We don't bother with news apart from google searches or in dependant news channels or Youtube ..life is good and we manage.One thing I m noticing are the amount of people waking up to all the BS around us .the lies and stuff we all listen to.i won't go on about it.its there open you're eyes.the rabbit hole goes deep.
As for herbage I would love more strains.mostly organic outdoor grown round these parts $280 or so on the oz,easy to find if you know people.hard if You don't.
reefer madness is rife here in every day news papers and TV .if you ain't going to the gym or drinking coffee you are the unclean.
Great people here I feel for them they deserve a better ride for sure.
Aside from over the top rules,life is great here.relaxed as,hot as here in summer and rarely drops below mid 60s in winter,the sun hurts you're skin here if you are from colder climates.there are lots of skin check clinics. Free bbqs scattered around everywhere in parks etc.Beer is plentiful and is drunk in vast quantities despite the crazy prices.the Irish drink.aussies drink by the gallon. $60 for. Case of corona which I've been told the govt collects over 80% of that in revenue,god damn pesky pollys.
Fags are $27 a pack of 25.now you see what doing it tough is all about if you smoke.
I love to walk early in the mornings.my favourite places are waterfalls ,many of which a you are allowed to swim in.i usually with a portable,usually the vapman
Anywayz she will be right,the sun will shine tomorrow as always
