i think we'll be somewhere around sydney.

i guess i'm bored. sorry if i'm being nosey.

Umm, my previous post was directed at your comment about being madly in love :p

I'm in North Eastern Victoria which is primary producer country. We are surrounded by Dairy, Orchards, Vineyard and Crops.

Fun...well, I'll try anything once or twice, so that leaves it pretty open doesnt it??

Boot Camp is part of my *fun*...in a sadistic kinda way. Its run by my gym and we have am Army drill dude come and ruff us up a few times a week. Its great fun, but I usually cant walk or lift anything for a couple of days afterwards...hence me sitting on my arse this afternoon.

Dont apologise for being bored or nosey...its all good.

i've heard of that kind of boot camp. i've heard it works.....

victoria sounds WONDERFUL. i was picturing it as i read your post. i want to be there. maybe my wife will know about it.

whats the club scene? any good live music around there?

try anything once or twice ay? i am trying not to allow my imagination to go wild now.........

:)

Club scene here is very good. We are quite central and if we tire of the local places, its not too far to travel for a change of scenery.

We have plenty of live music, the big bands only really go the Melbourne...which is only 2 hours away...so not too bad.

I love Sydney!! Its a place that people either love or hate.

Your wife should know The Murray River, I am only 15 minutes away from that...its the border for Victoria and New South Wales.

I say you have to try things at least twice...once is never sufficient to make a judgement ;)

i'm trying to figure out where we can move, and be able to play music for a living. lots of live music in sydney.

i bet my wife will know about victoria. and really, i must admit, its up to her. she should go where she wants. i'm pretty much happy with going anywhere.

Sydney would be great, Melbourne is the arts capital though.

Kagen would be able to fill you in on the live music scenario in Melbourne.

well...theres always live stuff going on in melbourne. for any music you like. what are you into?
i feel like a travel agent saying this but, theres so much to see and do in melbourne, and even more so in victoria. hey ducks, you heard of parks victoria? the organisation that manages all the national parks in vic?

my gym just started the boot camp thing as well. but im not doing it. cant be bothered

uhuh Kagen, I know of the org that you mentioned.

Dont be a lazy arse, do bootcamp, its great. I'm known for being a real sadist when i work out...so bootcamp is awesome for me.

Besides, I like the drill guy yelling abuse at me, he's hot and doesnt mind when i tell him to get fucked :)

im not a lazy arse, i did the "run for the kids" a few weeks ago (14.7km run through melbourne). i go to the gym all the time and do about 2 hours of running a week. i just cant be bothered doing boot camp.

oh and with Parks Vic. my dad made it and is the CEO now. so he's responsible for a lot of victoria.

I read that you work out a fair bit, so I will retract my lazy arse comment :p bootcamp is either your cuppa tea or not. I like having someone push me harder than I would push myself, so it works for me.

Thats cool about your Dad, we spend a fair bit of time in the National Parks along the Murray.

muahahaha, now whenever you see a parks victoria sign you'll think of me! :thumb2:

i'll try not to think of you any other time ;)

Get a Room ;)

only if you join in sparkz :3way:

i would want to play rock and roll, like maybe songs from the 60s and 70s (and 80s), songs that people will pay to hear. i've played in original bands, and there's no money in it.

that being said, i'd like to start a band and record originals too. studio work.

so basically i'd want to do two projects- one for money and one for art.

anything like that in melbourne?

oh yes. just about every bar or club has live music, cover bands probably dont get as much recognition as new original bands. and a lot of the rock bands coming out now are looking back to the 60's and 70's for inspiration (every heard of "Jet"? i hate them, but they are popular).

you'd just have to keep your eyes and ears open and ask around a few places

thanks kagen. we were thinking sydney, but i hear that melbourne is little nicer....

Melbourne = "four seasons in one day" weather
Sydney = NOT the center of the universe (as they'd have you believe)

Brisbane = God's own country. I'm not kidding. I'm also completely biased.


...runs and hides! ;)

oh really.....?

doesnt brisbane have no more than one city block? and a casino with only one room?

You're right about the Casino.
But you're a bit off about the city!

I suppose there are about 15 blocks of serious shopping and light commercial in the City center. That lot's surrounded by about a hundred blocks of commercial and and all the new high-rise residential stuff.

Between the City center (Queen St Mall), Southbank, West End and Fortitude Valley, the whole place has changed sooo much for the better in the last ten years. There's still heaps of new construction going on.

Plus you've got heaps of BIG suburban shopping centres (if that's your thing), easy access to the Gold and Sunshine Coasts (and their resective hinterlands)

[/tourism brouchure]


I can't hang too much crap on Melbourne 'cause I've never been there (my other half lived ther for a while). But I've experienced enough of Sydney on enough occasions to know it's not for me.

... and we're about ten years behind Sydney in terms of crime, riots and property prices! :D

take all the assholes in australia, shake them around, tell them that every race but their own raped their mothers, and throw them out of a moving car into the streets. thats how sydney was formed.

well not really. but ive never seen race related riots anywhere else in australia.

melbourne "the worlds most livable city", is very pleasant during the day, and a lot of fun at night. with a big casino that shoots huge fire balls every 15min, a cheap ripoff of the eiffel tower and latest tram designs.

My family is in Brissie, I actually cant stand it!!

No offense Hagar, but its really over rated.

Stinking humidity, overpriced, Sunny one day, perfect the next - my arse!!

That said, they do have an excellent rowers club ;)

I love Surfers though.

back in the early 80's I was in Freemantle for about 2 weeks ,
Good times ,
I got a RIDE back to the ship by 2 Aus girls ,
and well I got back to the ship about 3-4 days later,
Weird being introduced to their friends ,
The guys pulled me to the side and said " So You are the current TOY !!! "
All I could was grin and say " Yupp !!! "
They just muttered " Fucken Yank !!" under their breath ans they walked away !!!

So I LIKED AUS LOTS !!!!!

Such a friendly bunch of girls arent we zippy? :p

is friendly a new aussie slang for slutty?

j/k ;)

That's allright, the fewer Victorians up here the better! :p

It does get a tad muggy up here in Februrary...

Just as well you are cute Kagen :3eye:

'sall good, we feel eggzactly the same way. You guys cant drive for shit :lol:

argh! dont get me started on qld drivers!

What, you mean how we're all so polite, use our indicators, and know how to give way on roundabouts?

:lol: :lol: :lol:






sorry, even I can't type that without laughing. I drive for a living all around Brisbane, and we do have more than our fair share of wombats. But we do have a lot less traffic.

So glad you added those other lines Hagar, its very redeeming :p

its an aussie fight!!! i'll put my bets on duck.

:)

I'm just stirrin' the possum...I'm not here to start a fight. :)



...we're just all glad we're not kiwis! :p

Australia to win by 12 points in the test tonight!!!! Oi! Oi! Oi!

HI
Guys been away for a while but you know how life can get, good to see you all still hear (no life I guess). By the way you guy's are all crazy WA is the best state to live in, yes I know what you all say WA stands for Wait A while but hay we are proud of it we are never in a hurry for any thing relaxed and laid back the way things should be no stomach ulcers for us thanks. PS all red wine is goooooood (but your right too sweet not good) fond of Rosemount my self but still need a little more time for the vines to mature.
:)

Oh pooh!! :p

Dee - I love anything Monichino or Brown Brothers in the wine department. I'm actually a tequila or vodka girl, but when I am being civilised I'm a white wine drinker.

Lurve, lurve, lurve Brown Brothers!!

a VODKA girl?? :yum:

youre just getting better and better ducks.

bit like fine wine huh? :p

I live for Tequila with beer chasers, but a girl can only stand up for so long drinking those :D

i should be going through a bottle of vodka tonight. going to a pajama party. its going to be cold but a lot of fun walking around in my underwear drinking vodka. but at least there will be girls in lingere ;)

but at least there will be girls in lingere
