A$90,000 is about £36,800!!

I would take it - in fact I would take anything at the moment :sad:

Glad you are having such a great time - just stay in one piece and remember they have nasty sharks, snakes, spiders......... in fact avoid anything that moves!!! :)

been biten by a spider and it hurts but it doesnt compare to the 17ft salt water croc that swam by me and the girlfriend!

I was born in australia!I love the place!Despite all the nasty sharks,snakes,spiders and all those anoying people that drink fosters and all ways say Gday mate!Who are they...........?

no-one drinks fosters over here its all XXXX gold and its good really good

Rather be bitten by the spider than the croc .... unless its on the b*m!
(Can I get away with that?) :)

greetings from Brisbane good people the lack of robots has finally taken its toll on me, ive built a little robot from a tiny $7 iR car ans yes its a little Tanto and it is solving my little cravings for robot combat.
were covered in a sand storm so its hard to see but its still hot here
oh and Dingos rule!

i glad you like it Craig

all the beast

John and family

Lol I know the feeling. I hate the with drawl symptoms you get when you havent been working on a bot for a while. Wonder if there are support groups available? :)

Glad to hear you are loving oz Craig. Bring me back a Koala bear!

awww wow wicked nice 1 trust u nt t no who she is lol

turns out it wasnt her, bloody typical, all aussies look the same!
Im in my last weeks of being in australia now, soon ill be off to auckland, but not before i spend some time in melbourne and a whislte stop tour of the south east

ok less than a mont left in australia before i start my new thread, so this weeks activity was, diving with sharks and trapping spiders

im now offically scared of everything that moves out here

I was in the cage and nothing was moving couldnt see anything for ages, then from underneth us came a Tiger shark didnt even noice us and swam by, Hammerheads swim round in packs of about a billion but we saw about 20, they enjoyed the tuna we were dumping in around us, that soon followed 3 bull sharks (man eaters) but they eat and went all bar the one that like the taste of out cage and then a tazer prod, but the day was topped off with the sound and sight under water of a humpback whale that came very very close , we were told how lucky we were as this must be the last migrating humpback

on Tuesday night just as i went to bed, a redback spider came crawling round the wall, one good throw with the shoe and that was dead followed by a huntsman spider now that was scary! took 2 hours to catch it then it took 4 hours to die damn in effective spider spray!

so that was my week, hows England u got snow yet?

Just cold Craig.... No snow that I know of.

Same here in Holland. Cold, rain, icing on the road, but no snow.
