I had millions of gold worth of items, but lost it all due to the glitch on my account. It was the weirdest thing.

Bearzy 04-24-2013 08:31 AM

Bye Pheonix!

Welcome to The Billabong Phoenixphyre: !

Where abouts in Vic are you located, if you dont mind my asking? Ive been to Melb with my GF for an extended weekend stay once and it was awesome! Best food ive ever had!

I didnt really get in to the event this year, I did last year, but for some reason I just wasnt too interested. Looks like there were a few good items released though? Was the respirator that everyone is wearing part of that by any chance?

Bearzy 04-24-2013 11:18 AM

Na, the respirator is from the Contribution item.

Thanks Dropbear! Nah I don't mind you asking at all. I'm located about 4 hours out of Melbourne heading towards the South Australian boarder in a town called Horsham. Born and bred in Darwin, NT though and go back often, but I guess Horsham is my home now. Which I don't mind....don't think I could handle living in the maddness of a city anymore after being spoilt by the country life. :D

Hi leasfy!

Drop Bear 04-28-2013 02:53 AM

Ive heard of Horsham before. Dont know squat about it, but the name rings a bell! :P

Id love to go to melbourne again when time and money permits, but i think me and my GF will end up getting to Darwin before we're back there. What would you recommend doing/seeing in Darwin?

Welcome back leasfy!

Welcome back leasfy!

Meh Horsham is okay, nothing really exciting though unless you use it as a stop over to the Grampians, now there is a nice place.

Darwin, well if you can rig it to go in around June or July as that's the dry season (no build up to the wet season storms or opressive humidity) then you'll definatly have to check out the Mindle Beach Markets on Thursday night, and the Parap Markets on Saturday mornings. You totally want to check out the Territory Wildlife Park and Crocodylus Park as well. If you don't mind a little drive I totally recomend checking out Buley Rock Hole and Wongai Falls in Litchfield National Park. Um....other then that when I lived up there I used to spend a lot of time out at East Point Beach, The Warf and Nightcliff Jetty.
Hopefully that gives you some ideas of places to check out. :D

Drop Bear 04-29-2013 09:56 AM

Awesome! Cheers for that Phoenix, ill keep them in mind once we get around to actually getting there! Could be a while at this rate. Our next port of call is Sydney, but we're hoping to get to all the other capitals too eventually!

Catch Me If You Can 04-29-2013 10:27 AM

Hi everyone, another Aussie in this thread!!

Drop bear, if ya going to the capital cities make sure you visit Darwin. I've just moved away from Darwin, but it's beautiful and remember not to go swimming in the water.

Drop Bear 04-29-2013 11:06 AM

Welcome to The Billabong, Catchy!

Yeah i hear that going in the ocean up that way is rather detrimental to ones health hahaha! [lol]

Catch Me If You Can 04-29-2013 11:16 AM

It sure it. Gosh I've already gotten a nickname. Then again my name is very long compared to others :3

Bearzy 04-29-2013 10:23 PM

Yeah, we all get nicknames the minute we drop into this thread. I used to be Carzeebear until I hung around here, and then everyone called me Bearzy anyway, so I shortened my name for simplicity.

Catch Me If You Can 04-30-2013 12:06 AM

Nice, I don't wish I to change my name. I enjoy it too much

Bearzy 04-30-2013 12:37 AM

Reminds me of a song. Also a bedtime story, and the one bit of The Brothers Grimm that creeped me out.

Catch Me If You Can 04-30-2013 01:34 AM

What song? Maybe I know of it.

Bearzy 04-30-2013 03:32 AM

Catch me if you Can. By GaIn. It's kpop.

Aww pish posh to that I swam in the sea all the time and nothing happened to me what so ever and I still go in everytime I go back. It's fine, no big a risk than what you'd get in Queensland, New South Wales or even Western Australia.

Hell the highways during the wet season are more interesting than the sea. I still remember going to school one wet season in the torrential down pour...got held up at the lights and looking out the window to see a big saltie just meandering up the middle of the road. He'd swam up rapid creek and just continued on his way!! Smeg it was funny!!

No worries Bear. I haven't been to Sydney in years myself. Would like to get back there one day with the Hubby but Darwin is on the top of the list first once we both can work out our annual leaves on the same time!

Another ex-Darwinian. What suburb where you in? I was born up there and miss it to pieces but go back there every chance I get since moving south.

Catch Me If You Can 04-30-2013 06:00 AM

I lived in Gunn for the last year and a half but I was in rosebery for 5 years before that. I just loved the place so much. Especially my job at the local Palmerston McDonalds. I miss walking around up-top with my friends too. The south sure is colder thought ^.^

I Learnt something really interesting the other night. Darwin was known as Palmerston till 1911 :O did anyone else know that?!?!

Sleepy Anarchy 04-30-2013 06:02 AM

Another Victorian?

Catch Me If You Can 04-30-2013 06:03 AM

Nope, Queenslander mate. Gosh it dose get cold compared to Darwin >.<

Sleepy Anarchy 04-30-2013 06:05 AM

Ah, damn it. I was hoping for someone else.
That's what you consider cold? I was up there for two weeks and never put on a jumper, even when it was raining.

*nods* I remember being taught that in yr 8 Soc Ed.

Ahh Palmerslum we used to fondly call it, I guess some bad habbits stick, but I remember The Maccas there well, my bestie worked there and one time another friend and I rode our horses through the drive through when we knew she was working. It was so funny, even got into the NT News because of it. [XP] Must have been a slow news day for them that day! [mrgreen] And now I feel so old! *cough* moving on. The suburb I grew up in was Malak but spent alot of time in Karama, Nightcliff and Leeanya the most with my friends.

Sleepy Anarchy 04-30-2013 06:25 AM

Horsham... Name rings a bell now. Not saying much, half the damn country sounds like i've been there by now.
