That fence is only 65km/40 miles north of me and rabbits are fine this side of it, but on the other side you get fined, plus that fine has recently been increased from $15,000 to $40,000. That's wild. Australia fascinates me. I'd love to visit it and New Zealand. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Both places are something different, but don't forget to bring your sense of humour with you as ya'll need it in both countries. ;-) Cheers. |

I've known a few from both places, either online, or in person, and they've all been very easy-going people. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

That we are Gordon, but we are also a bunch of jokers as well and those that don't bring a sense of humour with them tend to want to label us as racists and/or bigots instead because they just totally miss that humour sadly (what's life if you can't have fun?). Time for another beer chaps. Cheers. |

I can't say I always get the joke, but I definitely try to take most reality with a dose of humor. You're making me thirsty. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Oh well I just found out the next thing to happen today. My youngest daughter just turned up again and informed me that she was staying for a few days. Definitely time for another beer. Cheers. |

I used to know someone from Brisbane who talked about ginger beer all the time. Seemed like she drank it the way we would ginger ale over here, but I think it's a brew like real beer. Now that I think about it, I'm craving a Meade. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I've never attempted home-brewing any type of beer, but there's been quite a few microbrew pubs open around me the last several years. I just don't tend to get out anymore, working overnight. On the other hand, I can go in with a growler and get it filled up with whatever for some take-home brew. ;-) The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Some of them are pretty darn good too. The ones I seem to like most (not local) is Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA and Ninkasi triple IPA out of OR works for me. :) the last one is about 10%.

A long time ago, there was a microbrew from Portland, Oregon I loved, called Haystack Black. It was only available for a few months and then stopped being distributed here. Dark Porters are really my favorite type of beer. There's one called Old Engine Oil which I love, and a unique local one called a Nitro-Porter, that has the stout quality from nitrogen injected into it. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

I think Ninkasi is from Portland OR., Little high in price though but Sierra Navada are about the same tasting but cheper. both sell here pretty good.

There's a beer store here that does tastings the way wine places do. Not only am I thirsty now, I'm hungry for some pizza. This night has gone by quick. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |
