I wish I lived in Texas...We could both have doomsday vehicles, hang around cooking Texas BBQ and telling lies. Good times. Alas, steem will have to be the poor substitute.

I think Texas would be a great alternative for most Aussies because of the similar weather and other things like values. I've never met a liberal Aussie for instance. And the BBQ, oh man! lol.

There's *liberal Aussies mate, just maybe not quite as liberal as up your way. I'd like to get the the States one of these days.

Have you met any Aussies?

In passing yes, but other than that, just online.

We're an odd bunch. Usually a lot of fun though, especially when we're travelling. Sarcastic and off the cuff but good friends to have generally. We are innately dependable usually...The old-school ones anyway.

I've always loved Australia since I was a little kid and found out how much she fought with us in WWII.

Yes, General Douglas MacArthur was based here in Brisbane after he abandoned the islands. Australia has been in many wars, despite our small population. We are good like that. Dependable.
