    Default Australasia in the Playground II

    I noticed the Australasia in the Playground thread died a few months back. And since thread necromancy is frowned upon, I decided to create a shiny new thread.

    So, Aussies in the Playground...are there many of us still here? Where abouts are you all? How's life and all that jazz? Should I grab the map from the old thread, or is it out of date by now?


    Edit: Changed thread title.

    Quick, change it to Australasia in the Playground so it doesn't get locked! (international regions only, after a proliferation of national threads) Also the map is out of date but snazzy, so I reckon you should grab another (with the wider area - probably SE Asia, New Zealand, etc) and update it.

    Whoooooo, Australiaasia.

    So, which part of Australasia does everyone inhabit, and how are you finding the cold?

    Uh, the AFL season is heating up? Which is good news, as it gives me something to think about that isn't schoolwork (finishing year 12, albeit not under HSC 'cause I'm a cool kid).

    That's about all I can think about.

    Well, I suppose there's been a fair bit of rain lately and a bridge collapsed. But those are details.

    I'm finishing year 12 too...but not interested in the football, except when it makes work really quiet.

    I'm a bit north of Melbourne, in the outer suburbs. And I'm not really noticing the cold much, being in an office all day.

    Well, apparently we get lumped in with you. Hi, I'm a kiwi, and I laugh at your primitive notions of "cold" (I spent a few years in Canada, so I love the cold).
    If I creep into your house in the dead of night and strangle you while you sleep, you probably messed up your grammar.

    I'm always extremely careful to hedge myself against absolute statements.

    Oh hooray! Australasia in the playground is resurrected!

    As for the cold, I don't whether to like it or hate it. I like it because it gives me an excuse to sleep in. I hate it because it gives me an excuse to sleep in... >_>

    Apparently, the cold has invaded our island under our very noses!
    Anyway, I rezzed the thread 'coz I wanted to talk to some Playgrounders I'd have a chance of meeting outside the webs.

    I think he's in WA somewhere, probably Northish. I want to say near Broome, but I doubt I'd be right.

    5:30? What do you do/How far do you travel? I get up at 7:00 and have about an hour of travel.

    Leave at 6, travel an hour into the city for work to avoid all the traffic.

    Advantage of still living at home means I can catch a lift with my dad

    I only have 40 mins travel time to uni, I still get up 2 hours before I need to be in. If I had my drivers license it'd only be 15 mins...But I'm a lazy sod (:

    Takes me 40 minutes to get to school by bus, 15 minutes by car.

    Thankfully, I have a car.

    My potential Uni is only 20 minutes away by bus.

    I'm in Armidale, north of Tamworth west of Coffs Harbour.
