Medic1281 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Back in 2003 I went to Australia to work on a farm with my girlfriend at the time. We stayed in rural Queensland on a small Lucerne farm about 6 hours west of Rockhampton. We lived in a 40ft lorry container that had windows cut into it with a stihl saw and a door. A couple of camp beds, and a fly screen door to keep the snakes out. We shared meals with the host family, worked closely with them, and spent a lot of time with them. They seemed genuine if not a bit alternative. Well imagine my surprise when tonight I got curious about where we stayed and the recent floods in Qld, and after a quick google I found the article below!! These were the people I stayed with as a 22 year old with my 20yrold girlfriend! We had no idea!! https://m.gladstoneobserver.com.au/news/not-a-dingo-dunnit-but-guns-to-chase-off-dingoes-g/3012335/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyefor Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Much better story than the "Bit of a shock" that I was expecting to hear - like some 15 / 16 year old youth arriving on your doorstep - "G'day. Good time in QLD in '03? Well, hello, I'm your son / daughter" !!! Happened to a friend of mine. EEEK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I wonder if they had the box set of "The walking dead" 200+ guns and no jail sentence, i imagine if you had ten in this country it would be a major police operation and ten years in prison??
