Australia apparent rules?
- Everyone is no more than one degree separated from knowing everyone else?
- You just keep getting handed wine?
- There are many bizarre things to hit in the road while walking, biking and driving. Yesterday we hit a boat motor.
- It’s 9c and people are barefoot?

@hacks4pancakes 1. Yep pretty much. Every industry is small.

2. Yep pretty much. If you’ve got a wine glass in your hand or on your table, someone will always offer you a top-up or another. You’re allowed to say no thank you.

3. Yep. Wombats are especially dangerous to hit at speed.

4. Yep. Shorts and thongs (flip-flops) are 4-season wear.

@jpm @hacks4pancakes wombats are presently the bane of my existence, with 2 separate individuals having decided to dig under my fence and into my yard after 4 years of leaving us alone. They can *have* the entire remaining 99 acres ffs.

I am about to start an attempt to trap and relocate them.

And yes, they will *very* fuck your car. It's not the least reason people around here drive lifted 4x4 utes.

@trib @jpm @hacks4pancakes I remember a ranger a Eildon telling me about how every camp season at least one person ruins their holiday speeding down the campsite at night and encountering a wombat.

Hitting a brick wall has more give

@sortius @trib @jpm @hacks4pancakes they're notorious for tearing the drive train out the bottom of cars as they act like little mobile bollards
@Taco_lad @sortius @jpm @hacks4pancakes today's wombat/bollard as I arrived home.
@trib @Taco_lad @jpm @hacks4pancakes hehehe, at least that one's keeping you on the track
