That's a wild house cat. Felis catus gone feral. Yes, feral cats. We don't have any other cats, our fauna have no protection from these agile predators. Most hunters have ZERO mercy for a feral cat (or even a pet tabby in the bush). Big push here for all domestic cats to have no outside access.

Mostly for delivery and/or tradesmen, but also as a surfing wagon with a mattress in the back and board racks on the roof. Most had a bench seats although the examples above probably had bucket seats. Great as a grocery getter, but useless as a family conveyance. Holden was a General Motors subsidiary.

They all made sense - even though I had not heard most of them - until I got to the last one. Grouse lippy Lippy? Did they misspell gross? Or, like so many other things, does grouse means something else in Oz? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
