Lived in a national park for 12 years and all I saw were possums, deer and snakes. I've never seen any koalas in the wild although they apparently live in the park.
We don't really get any native mammals around here. There was a possum living in a palm tree next door for a few months last year but I haven't seen it for a while.
A flock of sulfies passed through the area a little while ago though :3
Not sure if we have many people representing canberra but I figured it's worth a shot. I'm travelling down to Canberra for 4-5 days next month and looking for things to do. At the moment we're planning to go skiing, ice skating, truffle hunting and to go to the war museum (plus local restaurants of course). Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, more obscure stuff is quite welcome. My partner used to live there but I've never been so everything is new to me.

This the best video of E3 (Giant Bomb). It starts going pear shaped a few minutes in. You're just waiting for them to come to blows. These aren't journos, they're ex-Midway guys who are now executives at major developers. Can you spot who's going to wake up with regret tomorrow?
I highly recommend you find the hour to watch it at home and not click the spoiler.
three former colleagues from Midway chicago- friends and very, very drunk- insult each other, have a major falling out, one tweets the other's phone number so people can ring him during the stream, then spends 40 minutes trying to be not drunk enough to apologize

I wouldn't consider it a falling out, though. They're old, old friends. You could tell he was mad at the time, but in the way you get mad at your best friend for creasing your new shirt or some dumb shit, I don't know. Also they were super drunk.

They went with the cousins though and had a bust up before the movie started so that likely didn't help their mood lol. Should have seen Minions instead!
Too many damn movies coming out. Minions this weekend with my son is a lock though, seems like the perfect laugh out loud movie for us.
Do contact lenses have an expiry date? Is there any danger on me stocking up with like a years worth of supply? I wear monthlies, and each order gives me 3 months worth.
Edit: All good, just checked my current pair and they don't expire until 2018 so seems safe to stock up.
was just sitting in my apartment the other day thinking 'god damn i haven't heard an honest to god kookaburra in a year'
the brit in our town didn't even know what a kookaburra was. weirdo
realistically, living where I did, mostly just cockatoos, lorikeets, possums, the occasional brush turkey, and various other australian fauna. think there might've been wallabies and wombats up north in the hawksbury valley, but maybe not

At least you're getting it. My area went from "ready for service December 2013" to "Under construction, Ready for Service TBD", to "Remediation Started", to "Work has not started in your area". We are in area 5, 1-4 are completed, 6-8 are completed, 9 and 10 are under construction. Talking to a Telstra guy last week they are planning on rolling out cable (copper) and having our area become a cable 'nbn' site, thanks Malcolm.

The NBN coverage area stops literally 2 houses down from mine.
Now all i get is "The rollout of the nbn network has not started yet in this location. " Whenever I check the rollout map.

As for animals, I love the Australian animals here. Though, after our recent trip to Borneo the missus and I were discussing animals and I forget that the US has a lot of crazy animals too. Much more then here. I guess because the Australian animals are so unique they are a bit more special then those back home.
She hasn't seen any of the US ones though. Can't wait to show her a moose or something huge. Better not hit it though, fucking things.
When I was out running today (Morayfield) I saw four kangaroos.
One of them was a child, and it was just bouncing around the field with its mother watching it. The child then ran until it was around 2 metres away from me, then ran away. The mother then proceeded to come within 2 metres of me and to stare me down. Quite an experience really.
...And then I came back home and realised that last night I left out some Kanga Bangas to defrost for dinner tonight.
I got kookaburras for days. Possum hangs out on my front verandah every other night. A couple of nights back I had to swing a bag of dirty nappies at it so I could get to our bins. Turns out they don't like that.
I think we actually have lyrebirds in the creek behind my house, but the backyard is way too overgrown to see them. If anyone knows how to deal with onion weed (I think that's what it is), I'm all ears.

Yes, but I didn't want to say Joey as to me that means a baby or really small kangaroo. The child kangaroo that I saw moved out of that pouch a long time ago.

OK so you guys know how much I love my Surface Pro 2 right? I mean, I adorrrre that thing. So much so that when my desktop PC died
RIP old Krome PC you were monsterously overspecced for someone who just ran Word and Chrome all day
I didn't even really notice much because I used the SP2 for everything!
Well last night I noticed something weird about the power cable. Instead of not having no flames, the connection had LOTS OF FLAMES. I checked out the manual and there was no mention of fires spontaneously breaking out when you connect the power cable to the device. Weird!
So. Can anyone think of where I can just walk into a store and buy a power cable for the darn thing? I have spent my lunch break calling every JB Hi Fi and Harvey Norman under the sun and they only stock Surface Pro 3 accessories now. I guess if I can't find anything I will get one from eBay but who knows how long that will take - I really would like to just get one from a store today or tomorrow if possible.
If you can't find an official one you'll maybe find a third party one or adapter at either of these joints, otherwise trying calling MS directly to chase stock down.
the real problem back home was possums. I remember one day I woke up and a possum had fallen through the roof into our bathroom and was absolutely freaking out in there.
called in the rscpa or something and they trapped it and... released it back into our backyard
ecologically it was probably the best option, but that wasn't what i was thinking when that dang possum did excatly the same thing two weeks later

I don't care if they use sketches from the police flipbook from hot fuzz so long as they announce stuff that wasn't already known about from the last three e3 videos.
