WARNING!

My niece is going to Brisbane to work as an Au Pair or nanny for a period.

She's a very petite, pretty French Canadian girl and I don't want anything untoward happening with her or to her. OK?

 

[Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062]

to far from me to do any untowarding  🙃

 

I do, however, hope she has an enjoyable time of it  🙃🙃

[Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474]

She's a qualified teacher, likes warm weather and loves horses, (hers had to be put down due to illness, last year), So, if she meets an Aussie fellow down there, we worry if we'll ever get her back home?

Big chance she's going to meet a nice young Aussie fella and fall in love!

What kind of moron does not know what grog is?

 

As for the rest of it - the servo and the bottle o and maccas - y'all just talk funny.

 

 

All for me grog

Me jolly jolly grog

All gone for beer and tobacco

For I spent up all my tin

On molasses drink and gin

And me boots are looking out for better weather

[Alpo]

Damn I hate otto.

 

Every time I wrote tin, he changed it into Tim. About five times. And when I finally got him to leave it the hell alone because I actually meant tin, I was so happy that he left tin as it should be that I didn't notice that he had changed me into my.

THE LONELIEST TOWN IN AUSTRALIA

The tiny outpost has a population of ZERO after pub owner, 88, dies – and he hadn't sold a drop in five years.

With little more than a derelict hotel, broken petrol pump and a vandalised phone box to its name, the abandoned town of Betoota stands alone in the middle of a barren desert plain.

It was once a busy meeting place for farmers and drovers moving their cattle through customs and onto the markets of South Australia.

But the deserted outpost, which lies 170km east of the nearest populated area, Birdsville, in Queensland, is now officially the smallest ghost town in the country.

And with an official population of zero, the town - which sees temperatures soar into the 50s - is also the tiniest by resident and building count in the world, according to the Herald Sun.

For several decades it was home to just one resident - Polish-born Simon Remienko.

He ran the 12-year-old Betoota Hotel, the only building in town, for 44 years before shutting up shop in 1997.

But he continued to live alone in the town until he passed away in 2004 at the age of 88.

Speaking in 2002, he told The Age: 'I own the place - if you own something and it makes you happy, there is no reason to leave it.

'There is always something for me to do here. If I don't look after myself, nobody else will.'

He stocked a full bar in the years leading up to his death, despite not having sold a drop in five years.

Betoota's history can be traced back to to the late 1880s when it was used as a customs post and Cobb & Co change station.

Hundreds of workers were attracted to the area after the building of a Rabbit Proof Fence in 1895, meaning the construction of a police station and a court was necessary.

But when changes were introduced to the customs services in 1901, population numbers began to dwindle.

In 1928, an inspection of the town revealed that in the past five years no one had been taken into custody and so the courthouse and police station closed their doors.

The town started to fall rapidly into a state of neglect and disrepair.

But Mr Remienko breathed new energy into the town when he purchased the hotel for £3,500 in 1953.

Now the ghost town only comes alive on the last weekend in August each year for The Betoota Races.

Ya know "Lonely Betoota" would make a great alias.
