Heh heh, yup, all us Aussies carry around 14" machetes, kill crocs with
are bare hands, stare down buffalo (had to do that today on the way to
the store for bread and milk), communicate to each other using
bullroarahs and an intricate series of whistles and tell the time by
looking at the sun.
Oh, and we always start our sentences with "Crikey mate!..."
(Yes, it's true. Most Australians can't stand Steve Erwin.)
My apologies for confusing the north of California with the south. I
saw desert and instantly thought "south".
