this lot is going to think we Aussies are all like this



Which reminds me of a story circa 1980, when I sent on a detail to assist with a dedicaton at Natural Bridges National Monument in the red rock mesa country of SE Utah. We were instructed to be on our best behaviour as a Ranger visitiing from Australia was going to join us. About 8 pm there was a knock at the trailer door and some Gonzo guy wearing a t-shirt, shorts and ratty tennis shoes enters. He went straight away to the cubboard below the sink and asked if we had any liquor?? After the second, or was it 4th drink he described a time the Queen made a visit to his homeland

I kinda figured all Aussies were like that?

jh



Great story, John!

(...btw, I thought all Aussies were like Crocodile Dundee...just like all Yanks are "of course" like Indiana Jones!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
