@Ken.

Mate out here in the summer we cross the Kangaroos with the Sheep.

That way We always have plenty of Woolen Jumpers for the winter....Lmao

@Ryan.

That was a true story Mate.
Chopper was/is one tough Bastard.
He cut his Ears off just so He could get transferred to another Jail.
He lives in Tasmania now.

Sam.

There was a joke doing the rounds out here at one time.

Where a cabby picked up this German Tourist.

The guy sees the Harbour Bridge & Says
""Thats just a small bridge like we would have over a pond in Germany.""

Then he see the Opera House & says.
""Thats so small We would only use that for a back Yard shed""

Then as he gets further out in the Country He see a Kangaroo and says.
""Whats that thing ""

And Cabby says ....""Its a small Rat ""..........Lmao

I live here in Australia and saw the movie couple weeks ago

I asked someone if there was a term called creamie which was used in the movie
A creamie is half cast between white and aboriginal not one person said they have heard the saying tho I still maybe wrong

There are more derogatory names used for them tho that word creamie was meant in a derogatory way in the movie it was pretty good tho even Nicole Kidman was ok in it

The  political correctness at the beginning of the movie and undertones I didnt agree with

THe aboriginals babies were separated for there own good and we didnt know any better at the time poeple thought they were helping the childhood mortality those days for the natives was quite high
