They have a turtle that met Darwin too, well, they had one when I saw it a few years back...

I'm pretty sure she died a year or so ago. I can't guarantee it though, I haven't been to Australia Zoo for ages.

Dunno, i know she's been around for ages and that particular species of Turtle lives a veeeery long time, dunno if she's still alive or not.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

She died 2006.

I hate daylight savings time.

[hexedmagica]

I hate the New South Welshmen and Victorians who think it's necessary. Seriously, turning clocks an hour forward makes no bloody sense.

In theory it's supposed to ensure that the sun sets and rises at approximately the same time throughout the year. In practice it just screws everything up.

Yeah. Australian governments are stupid with stuff like this.

I'm pretty meh about it. One extra hour of sunlight in the afternoon.

I've always wanted to scuba the Great Barrier Reef. I snorkled in the carribeans but im sure The Great Barrier Reef far surpasses that.

It would if all our corals weren't dying of heat death. As for daylight savings, I love it. I'll admit it's not really necessary, but nothing beats a lazy summer BBQ, beer in hand, at 9 pm in the fading evening light.

Hell yes it does. My first experience (so far only... need divers license) was there. Fantastic.

Vegimite is the shit.
Nutella is alright.
Marmite is just plain fucking shit.

Marmite > Vegimite. Plus Marmite is made by an Australian company whereas Vegimite is made by an American one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft_Foods

Note: Kangaroos do not walk haphazardly through the streets of our major cities, just an fyi. And yes, it does rain in australia. Not very often - but enough to keep the plants from dying.

Qlander here. One of the best states. Not only for patriotism - it's just that I've only been to perth, NSW and the barrossa valley. Not great variety for me to be making statements.

Kangaroos everywhere over in Vic. Or maybe that's just my place.
