    He didn't exactly endear himself to the Aussies either and our successes in Egypt and Africa were in spite of him rather than because of him. He especially hated being upstaged by a bunch of colonials and didn't like our Lieutenant General Sir Leslie Morshead one bit. Morshead was a hero to...

    Did Canada really take prisoners of war all the way back to Canada? I've seen a whole series of videos like this about Australia but I never bothered to watch any of them because I know they're complete crap. Why would Australia ship prisoners all the way around the world? We didn't. Our only...

    I'm someone very good with facial expressions and body language, but you can't imitate that very well with cartoons. I also don't see any differences in them, although I only looked at the first one.

    Attacks on Darwin started in February, the yanks didn't get here until October. In the meantime it was the Dutch that saved our sorry arses. They never seem to get much of a mention in the written histories but if you go to the Adelaide River War Cemetary you'll see an entire section devoted to...

    Australia was the only force to stop a German Blitzkrieg attack - twice. When we halted them in Greece other countries thought it must have been a fluke, when we halted Rommel in Tunisia they all stood up and took notice.

    We have a couple of different water pythons that are both venomous and aggressive but their venom won't cause you too much trouble, just makes you feel a bit woozy and a bit crook in the gut for a while. And they're not something you'll see outside of tropical rainforests.

    If given the option all of them would choose flight rather than fight. I've seen plenty of snakes but the one that shocked me was only a Golden Tree Snake, big bugger though. I was climbing to the top of Robin Falls near Adelaide River, and as I poked my head up over the top of a big boulder the...

    Which Is It?

    It snowed at Ayers Rock once, the only time on record. We had enough German tourists there at the time to confirm that it was genuine snow and not just small hail. https://www.nfsa.gov.au/collection/curated/asset/98580-snow-uluru

    Our biggest is the Scrub Python, but Olive Pythons and Carpet Pythons aren't much smaller.

    It's a very popular pastry in Australia, it's a bit better than a simple donut though. One of my favourites.

    Cassowaries won't be seen south of the tropic, in fact you'll have to go a long way further north if you want to see one in the wild, and even then they're quite rare. Snakes we have in plenty throughout the entire country, over 140 different species documented so far and of those over 100 are...

    Australia's biggest killer is actually the Sun. Here's my next week's weather forecast. Although it's not exactly comfortable I'm glad to see it because this represents a normal Adelaide summer. Our weather has been a bit weird for the last few years and I'm happy to see more normal patterns...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Just another quick thought - are you trying to dual boot both OSs on the one harddrive? Microsoft worked out how to stop that and Windows will delete the Linux boot partition every time. Put Linux on a physically different drive. Physically disconnect the drive that has Windows on it while...

    Almost exclusively Eucalyptus of many different types, plus a few fruit and nut trees. Macadamias are native to Australia. The only pine trees we have are imported from other countries, we farm them for timber for the housing industry.

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    AI is getting dumber and dumber. Here's a news story about a problem people in Tasmania are having at the moment, a foreign tourist website with AI generated results keeps sending people to places that don't exist. Any Aussie that sees this image knows instantly that it's fake but tourists...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Without knowing exactly what motherboard you have I can only give you generalisations but hopefully it helps. Most motherboards have Boot From External Devices disabled. That will cripple you right from the start. You should also be able to enable the built it Boot Menu. With that enabled you...
