·Memories of what? Your schooldays?
When I was a school kid, my father bought a property in north west NSW, on a huge floodplain.
Before we could move in, the biggest flood in 50 yrs covered everything. Overcame the house levy & delayed our move by months.
When we did move there were puddles of water & frogs everywhere. Snakes were crawling around so full of frogs I often saw legs sticking out their mouths.
I don't believe we bothered taking a photo of the dunny, but it looked exactly like that pic @rob#1 posted, without the rubbish. We kept a big pair of pliers in there to fight the frogs away before use.
That became known as the 1974 flood. Less than 2 years later, cyclone Tracy wasted Darwin, & the remains of the depression flooded northern NSW all over again. The frog & snake population went ballistic again.

·My first day in Canberra and I spot one thing that will most definitely kill my wallet... and here I thought I would be safe since we are far from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

It’s a Vegan thing, you have to let everyone know you are a Vegan, and this is letting everyone know.
Apparently 100s of people on Facebook are going to bring BBQs to the street where she lives 🍿

·Today's view from the road into town.
Our local bushfire level is Extreme. I have cleared all the flammable material from our property, we have a brand new roof & gutter guard thanks to a hailstorm last year & I have installed two 30m hoses for both sides of the house. But we are still on town water so its all for nothing once we lose pressure. I need tanks & a pump run off a generator. We live inside a National Park, nothing but bush out the front of ours.
Bone fυcking dry.
Going to be a long summer.

Most assuredly, all things in Australia DO WANT TO KILL YOU.
