Hallo Gronkers!
How's life over there? I've moved to the 1970s. The time difference here is half-an-hour and twenty years.

To specify: I grew up in a suburb called Blackman's Bay near a street called Niggers Lane.
I wish I was joking.

Crikey.
I'm hoping to make it over there for birdwatching purposes at some point next year.
It's not so bad here really. Still a week-and-a-half before I start work and it's increasingly difficult to not feel out of it.

They've renamed it but I can't remember what to.
Either way, lots of lovely wildlife in Tassie. Try and get to the west coast if you can, fuck the birds it's just wonderful to see 6 foot deep moss instead of grass. It's a whole other planet there.
Also there are probably a bunch of birds around Strathgordon worth looking at. Do yourself a favour and don't visit Queenstown, your heart will break as you crest the hill.

I'll take what I can get!
If we end up settled here, we'll do a leisurely family trip, too, but my friend wants to get all 12 endemics in one weekend...

The scariest part about pretty much every Australian town/city outside of Sydney/Melbourne
is that telling them you're from somewhere else gets a response of "What's wrong with (this town)?" and you won't be able to explain that you just happened to be born somewhere else.

I think it's ok if you're foreign.
People cut dumb poms a lot of slack.
