Hey ragz. It can be fun at the arse end of the world, I live close to some mountains and a big nature reserve. Unfortunately I don't get too much time for camping and hiking, and now my fitness has been going down the sink.
But yeah, there are lots of critters, you just gotta watch them on the roads. Kangaroos are killed all too often, as they seem hell-bent on jumping out on the road in front of cars with no warning. They seem to dot the roadside all over town here. We don't get too many wombats on the road, but you have to watch them too. They are built like a rock, and they can flip the car if you hit them while turning.
I also have guinea pigs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
There's a lot to do without a tv, but for the most part that would be the same the world over. I just started reading Lord of the Rings again (I read it at least twice a year).
Feel free to come and visit sometime though!
Sorry. You can all go back to talking about tv now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
