Brisbane rules. Fauna and flora from my yard: The tallest one is just over 20 metres.  Rainbow lorikeets. Real marauding type. Ruthless.     That pair of eyes belongs to a carpenter bee. One of three that live in an old branch I have tied to a post out the back. They like burrowing nests into dead mango tree branches.

Anybody got any dracaenas that are flowering? They have the most beautiful perfume of any flower. And there is so much that the fragrance can fill the house if the wind blows right. The flowering stalk comes out at the start of winter for about a week. The flowers bloom only at night. I love love love them.  edit to add another picture.

Just 5 minutes ago there was a wallaby (smaller version of a kangaroo) in the front yard of the house across the road from me.

Dr. Garbanzo posted:I went to hogs breath once and I ended up with the wrong plate of food. Rather than let me keep it they took it from me and gave it to the person who actually ordered it. I then had to wait 20 minutes for them to bring me my meal while everyone else at the table had their food. The guy pretending to use crutches in the movie There's Something About Mary has a Hog's Breath t-shirt on in (I think) his last scene. Also, I've eaten there a couple of times and don't really remember much about the food.

A couple of my friends loved the place so much they'd affectionately call it "Hoggies". Gah I couldn't understand any of that.

Do it ironically posted:I’m enjoying this thread just want to say everything I know from Australia as a Canadian comes from watching old episodes of Bondi Rescue on Netflix and what I saw from crocodile hunter when I was younger Most of my Canadian knowledge as a child came from watching The Beachcombers. And Degrassi.

A house around the corner from me has a bowerbird nest on top of the carport roof. It's the brown fuzzy thing under the tree limbs and above the blue roof. It is very unusual for this bird's bower to be somewhere other than the ground. They are also just unusual birds. They like to collect things. Depending on the bird/species/things they will collect white things or blue things or pink things. This is what they look like up close (random photo):  And this is the bower (again, random photo):  And 3 minutes or so on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOfukj1aM1E

All I know is that the premier of my state Queensland banned Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors because of drug use. Hearing this as a primary school kid in the eighties made it the stuff of legend.

Caedus posted:I've noticed Australia has an unusual respect for tradies. Is that real or put-on for comedic effect on the internet? I feel like I could get elected PM by walking around giving anyone in an orange vest a cold Gatoraide and calling them a legend. I'm not sure how unusual it is but yes those with a trade a generally well respected. To be clear a tradie has done a 4 (or so) year apprenticeship - as opposed to a labourer. But it wasn't always the case. I reckon about 20 years ago or so there was still the idea of a tradie being a bit of a dag, plumbers' crack showing etc. I remember there being a distinct shift in public perspective. 'Tradies get the ladies' wasn't always a saying.

Jestery posted:I stood out in my shorts and tended to my Aussie native bonsai garden I saw native bonsai on Gardening Australia and they were pretty awesome. I like growing natives in pots from seeds I find around the place. I also like bonsai. So this seems right in my wheelhouse. Please post jpgs.

Jestery posted:https://youtu.be/92KR6s4YPMI I did like the look through your garden! The roots coming down over that half a brick is really nice. Also, my leopard trees have much smaller leaves than that. Like half a 5 cent piece size. They've got beautiful bark on them.

That Melbourne Sharpies video was a real eye opener. I'd never heard of them before. It led me to this 3 min video of Sharpies vs Mods in Melbourne in the sixties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOyo_SPRbMM

 Of the Bolwell Mk VII: "...and a Holden 202 with triple SU carburettors, but it has got a Celica five-speed." This was exactly what I had in a HX ute. It drove really smooth! edit to add: it was even that same colour and had flutes in the guards as well.
