Doble Troble Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi Dave. What cartridges do you shoot down there? Something on the 303? I've heard that Kangaroo is good eating and would love to find-out myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dave, I must have goofed. I never did this before in the 3 1/2 years of this board, but I accidently edited (erased) your last post. I thought I was replying. I'm really sorry about that. I wish I could put it back. He was saying that Roo is like beef, but he ate is when he was younger, so doesn't eat it much now. Glad to have you. I have had a couple Aussies on the board in the early days. Australia has a strong rifle history, and I recall reading one issue of a fantastic reloading magazine from Australia. It is sad to hear of the government taking away firearm liberties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailormilan2 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Greetings Dave. Fosters ?? Isn't that the beer in the little, tiny cans?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave h Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Greetings Dave. Fosters ?? Isn't that the beer in the little, tiny cans?? 9645[/snapback] It's a Victorian Beer that we do'nt do'nt see all that much of anymore . I think it's more a export brew than a local product anymore .I have'nt seen it in years to be quite honest but I belive it's popular in England & over your side of the Pond !

fritz Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Welcome Dave, You confirmed what I had heard from another Aussie, that Foster's beer is made to export to us (and not drink there). My cousin, a Texas cattleman, once decided to go to Australia and observe the cattle operations there. His wife would have nothing to do with it, so he went alone. That's a long trip from Texas. My cousin was not the usual sterotyped Texan who always wore a big Stetson, in fact he wore no hat at all over there. He said that everyone he met asked him, "If you're from Texas, mate, where's your hat?" He explained that not everyone from Texas wore a big hat. Good to have you here. fritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave h Posted January 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Nice to be here all ! Fritz .We have the same problem ! Crocadile dundee& that idiot Erwin ! Have really given us a bad image ! I was told once by a German backpaker that I could'nt be a Pro shooter cause i did'nt wear a hat with Croc teeth round the brim! I thought the load of Kangaroos on the back of my 4x4 was a dead give away but there you have it! I told the wife the next day I did'nt have to go to work that night as I'd been told by a expert ...ect ! But she clarified the matter ! !! So it was off to work again (minus croc teeth) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emul8 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yeah, welcome dave h! I feel that I am something of an expert on many things Australian...I love Vegemite, and I even know the song. I also know that Foster's is a joke to most Australians. Personally, I like XXXX beer too. When a good friend from Australia visited me, I bought a whole bunch of items that purported to be Australian, things like "Australian Toaster Biscuits" (English muffin-like things, not cookies), and our line of "Aussie" hair care products. My Aussie mate and I had a good laugh over the stuff. I am a huge fan of just about anything Australian, and I particularly like anyone who (literally) sticks to their guns and shooting in your nation given the restrictive gun laws there. Good on you for sticking with it! BTW, your comments about the German who said that you couldn't be a shooter because you didn't have croc teeth on your hat reminded me of what my Australian friend about someone from Boston asking my friend if Australians had weekends! LOL! Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
