    Look how desperate this Koala is

    This comes from the State of Victoria I believe (Melbourne area). I also understand it was happening a lot when their temps went well over 45C (over 113F) for those weeks. Story goes, the Koala actually stopped them, and approached the 1st guy quite persistantly. Bit like one of your Eagles...

    Face Mask-Bust

    Don't laugh you blokes, but I have always wanted to have a go at 2 things. No 1 is making face masks, (including neck and shoulders), which I believe is called a bust. I want to be able to do this of any person. Does anyone here know what: I am talking about, and any experience in this...

    Thirsty Koala

    I didn't believe these photos were for real, until I saw a video of firemen doing the same. That Koala drank 3 bottles of water, and the firemen said they remain placid till they re-hydrate themselves If you know anything about these animals, you don't approach them....their claws can do decent...

    Lowkee.....sharing business ideas.

    I certainly don't mind sharing my business op. I grow culinary herbs for a Supermarket chain....no one else. As for profit versus time......that's easy.....if you work out what we get per hour, no one would do it. We have made good money, but when 2 of you do over 80hrs week (includes early...

    Okker words.

    Clearly, you need to be an Aussie to understand this. As you blokes aren't, then here are the Aussie words in their proper 'state'. When you understand them, move to part B. below. Billabong: a waterhole Bludger: a person who doesn't work, lives off welfare or others...
