Just don't let it happen too often.
That would ruin your reputation.

I asked one of the other Aussies if it smells like Vicks Vaporub and couldn't get a straight answer.
Thanks!

So, what you're saying is that Australia is full of really talented artists- that live out in the middle of nowhere without much anything to do and have to be creative in order to express their artistic talents?

Local pub end of harvest
Or a small town Meat and Three in South Georgia during the peanut harvest.
I got stuck in a 'traffic jam' in Plains last year- it was late evening and I got stuck in the middle of the tractors pulling the peanut wagons into town.

But that is more fun.
Must be.
The guy that told me about kangarilla rats said that he pulled it on a bunch of American soldiers that he was training with. He had 2 of them so convinced that they slept in shifts keeping "Kangarilla Rat watch" the whole time they were in the field.

They think it's funny that the rest of the world is convinced that everything in Australia is out to kill them.
It's a national past time- just behind convincing the rest of the world that they drink Foster's.
Seriously, every Aussie I've ever met had some story about some critter like a drop bear, kangarilla rat, or black-crested emurilla bird that attacks humans at every opportunity.
It ain't like ya'll aren't already giving Africa a run for its' money on the 'everything here either has thorns, stings, is deadly poisonous or can swallow you whole' reputation.
There's no need to make up stuff, too.

Mexico Beach and Destin, too. It just wasn't a Great White that followed it up to the boat.
Daddy caught a grouper head once.
Just the head- it had been bit off clean right behind the gills.

Ours didn't like the liquid, it make her flip over and squirm all over the carpet trying to get it off. I presume it may have burned. She liked the chewables until this year, now we have to break them up and slip em in her food.
Gotta rely on her baser nature to out smart her. Dogs are greedy, so use her greed against her.
Tear a slice of ham into 3 pieces. Wrap the chew around one of them.
Show her a piece of ham without the chew in it and give it to her.
As soon as she has it, let her taste then show her the piece with the chew wrapped in it. She'll gobble the 1st piece down to get the 2nd piece.
As soon as she takes it, show her the 3rd piece. She'll swallow the ham and the chew to get the another piece of ham.
Cheese works well, too.

Don't feel bad, we have nitwits moving grizzly bear cubs so they can take a better picture and laying down against bison to take selfies.
They are everywhere.

Most of the Enfields I've seen have a barrel mounted leaf rear sight. The only ones I was aware of with a peep sight were Canadian.
The No4 moved to a peep mounted on the rear of the receiver after WWI.
The earlier models like the No3 hand the barrel mounted rear sight. The No3 was used in WWI in huge numbers and was used by the Commonwealth forces in WWII. The Indians made lots and lots of them in Ishpore (and kept with them even after they went to 7.62x51).

Dad bought my Mum one of these, but I thought hers was a two door?
Two door, 4 door, I think there was even a station wagon, and it was the basis of the Ranchero, too.

It really doesn't help that his breed is known to suffer from hyper-restivity (it's the opposite of hyper-activity. The hyper-active can't sit still. The hyper-restive can't get moving.)

Yep....the humidity here on the coast is the real killer. Its dreadful, not like inland where its a hot dry heat.
The other whinge that I forgot to mention are the nights. It don't cool down! It's just as hot and bloody humid through the nights as well. I don't know how we managed before A/C.
I am pretty far inland. The Gulf of Mexico is over a hundred miles to the south and I'm the entire width of the state of Georgia from the Atlantic. We get all of the humidity and none of the cooling from the on-shore breeze.
Ya'll probably survived like we did. Old houses in the South have high (12 foot or so) ceilings. Hot air rises, so you live in the cooler, bottom half of a room. They are also drafty, have large windows and, usually, deep porches so the entrances are shaded. Open the doors, open the windows and let the breeze flow through the house.
A style of house called a 'dog trot' was popular as well. It's basically 2 buildings connected by a central covered breezeway. You put the kitchen- and all of its' heat- on one side and the other living spaces on the other.
Even the '3 room shotgun house' you find in the old cotton mill towns was designed for dealing with the heat. They had tall ceilings and windows and, since the interior and exterior doors align, the breeze could flow through the house easily.
Bigger homes- like the mansions in Savannah, have a central room with a cupola in the center of the ceiling. The windows in the cupola were opened and a chandelier hanging from it's center was lit. The air heated by the chandelier rose and escaped through the windows, drawing air from all the rooms in the house and in through the open exterior windows and doors.

That might even be a deal.
How much is an adult sheep going for these days at market?
