Re: G'day from Australia ( yeah theres a few guns left)
Sydney ! Wow, I spent a week there once in 1970,
but don't remember very much, because that Aussie beer packs quite a punch. |

Re: G'day from Australia ( yeah theres a few guns left)
Thanks for the welcome folks i'll try to answer your questions
if i miss one let me know Prozac ?? is that a pill , dont use pills here mate, we have beer! fixes most problems ok XXXX Beer ( pronounced "four ex" ) is one of the better things out of Queensland ok no vegemite in the threads thats easy kraft just changed the recipie to suit US tastes so now we dont eat it ( stuffed it eh) hunting is excellent 'roo's rabbits , goaties, pig's, a few types of deer ( escaped and bred up ) camels ( more here than in saudi) and a goodly selection of ducks and geese for the shot gun folks and thats just at my place, head out a bit and theres a better selection here in sydney aint much to hunt , would love to hunt the local jihadi's, but like in the US they are a protected species and have more rights than aussies pics of some friends   and these just out of reach of my flinter  cheers jack Last edited by jack404; 01-11-2010 at 04:34 PM.. |

Re: G'day from Australia ( yeah theres a few guns left)
Welcome to the forum! Here are a few examples of Australian equipment found in the states.
 I visited Sydney and environs back around 1993. I still kick myself for not going over the hills to visit Lithgow. But Sydney did have a couple of interesting military and gun shops back then. BTW: After about a week, I found a place serving excellent kangaroo stakes. While some Anglo "pomies" said that Australians don't eat kangaroo I thought it was great "tucker" and would like to have another slice. Best regards, Greg |
