Tashyboys tours

So am on me way to Brisbane now. Theres just something about the aussie way of life that massively impresses me. Some of the food is to die for. Not even mentioned the beers
 
Ave took a shine to four pines, but and this is a massive but. You are spoilt for choice. Ave just had a beer that's pumped through a glass tube 2ft tall 6" wide on the cou ter that's full of hops. Lordy flippin lordy. They don't sell beer in supermarkets, you have to go to a bottle shop 😳
Enjoy me man.
 
My lad told me.about a bird out here. Commonly known as a " bin chicken". Scruffy looking sods they are. Great big long curved beaks. They are into everything. Theres traffic everywhere and they just walk across streets like they don't care. They make me chuckle.

I think there may be a few tents from climate protestors in Tashy's front garden protesting about his world tour :LOL:. Coal miner then frequent long haul flyer, you are a prime target.

You know LT this holiday has been more of an adventure than owt else. Been flued up to the eyeballs til today. Me and missis T have been talking re our careers and pensions whilst here. 36 yrs mining from 16 to 52. She mentioned when I did 93 days without a day off, and not seeing kids. Sadly now seeing more of grandkids than me own.
That aside Oz is the highlight of me jols, just love the vibe. ANZAC square is amazing. The food and beer, lordy lordy. Brisbane, what a massive multi cultural society here. Missis T has read its Frocktober 😖. Here for another 8 days, gonna bladder it down for 2 days and got a few rd trips planned Tashyboy is being enlightened. Although seeing 2ft lizards on the side walk still makes me jump.

Read recently they had snow down there 😁. The guy on the plane said the golf courses down thee are amazing. Been to a brewery (falons) under the Brisbane bridge today. Oh bless ya. Looks like Oz could be playing the Aussies in the rugby. That will be interesting being a brit in Oz. 😁

Just a quick heads up, apparently its rutting season for the magpies, they are very territorial and attack people on bikes. So to defend yourself you put tie wraps on your helmet with the pointy bits sticking up. 😳
Honest Google it.

What is the exchange rate like out there for you? It is stinking everywhere else in the world, does it impact as much for you on this trip?

I've literally half an hour ago just got $885 for £502 which is about 1.77, not sure if that's better or worse than a few months ago.
At the same time I'm not really bothered as work is paying for it :LOL:
