12string Posted February 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2019 It's bad enough that the blood's always rushing to your head, and that pretty much every insect, bird, and animal has some sort of poison that it can inject in you to cause slow painful death - except for the ones that just maul you and let you bleed out. Now they are warning people that the floods have displaced these killers and you should be careful leaving your house because they are waiting on your lawn!

Tizeye Posted February 5, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 5, 2019 It is really hard to emigrate as government has strict rules. I forget her name but on the other obsolete forum there was the Canadian lady who did a lot of brevets as part of randonneuring to qualify for PBP. I believe the person she married was an Australian, yet still had to jump through a lot of hoops despite her Commonwealth heritage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted February 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 5, 2019 Towards the end of our stint in SA, Wo2 & I pondered it for a while. I had a specialized skill set & a tentative offer fro the Aussie company that prolly would have gotten me in as a Temp Worker (same as SA). We had no desire to emigrate. One reason we left SA was because they were pushing us to become permanent residents. As such I would have been eligible for their military service. Not a risk we were willing to take.

Razors Edge ★ Posted February 5, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2019 I'd live there. I felt safe enough in Sydney. It was definitely a sun burn risk any time I was outside, but I didn't encounter any venomous or poisonous creatures. Probably luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted February 5, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 5, 2019 I could think of a lot of worse places to live. Some years Australia's 24.6 million people have fewer homicides than the 600,000 citizens of Baltimore. Fortunately for me, 90% of the Baltimore homicides are to people who have served prison time. The rest of us are mostly safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted February 6, 2019 Share #13 Posted February 6, 2019 At 20 I would have jumped at the opportunity to move to Australia. At 40 would have considered it At 60 some, I'd like to visit, but that is a long plane ride.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted February 6, 2019 Share #16 Posted February 6, 2019 Not to mention the cockatiels steal all your cat food off your porch and crap on your fresh washed laundry hanging on the clothesline. True story, an internet friend was always complaining about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's still Down Under and active on Bikeforums.net. I believe that her father was named Cadillac and also very active on the old LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
