October 21, 2014 Red Nomad OZ Aussie ABC, Aussie Icons, Aussie Loo Book, Australiana, Facts about Australia

Last Updated on May 5, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ The Aussie sense of humour – ie laconic crossed with off-beat crossed with extreme larrikinism – sometimes manifests itself in unusual, weird and downright bizarre ways.

Last Updated on May 5, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ Bruny Island As far as I could tell, the fashion police hadn’t made it down to Bruny Island’s Adventure Bay. Just as well.

Last Updated on May 5, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ On a fine and sunny non-race-day Saturday morning, the Lismore Turf Club’s sensational sub-tropical setting is generally race-horse-and-people-free.
