I've seen a few Aussies on here, I don't think I've seen any other Kiwi's but I'm sure they're around.
I'm curious. How many members have we got from down under?
-
There's Dr Zoidberg :pok:
-
We can add claws42, Syncop8r, Jerm and KiwiMark to the list. :tu:
-
Gregozedobe, Multimat and Acidhammer are all aussies :mail:
-
I'm dual nationality. Kiwi born, paper Aussie.
-
Isn't there also an Aussie called Huntsman?
Zoidberg and I were nearly neighbours.
-
Adding two new guys, ace.chen and babola. :tu:
-
does MTO down under look like this?

yep, it looks like that AND words like colour are spelt correctly. (http://www.animationplayhouse.com/rasp1.gif)

Not quite - Pom living in Oz :-)

Only to you. Since we're upside-down as well it looks the right way up to us.

I'm Aussie too!!

Welcome. Bored on night shift, or insomniac?

So, you cling to the earth with your feet like bats in order to prevent falling off?

You northern hemisphere types may have it all wrong (again !) - IIRC according to astronomers when you take the big picture (looking at Galaxies) the southern hemisphere is actually the "UP" side of the earth when you orient correctly to the rest of the universe (or something like that, anyway) :pok: :pok: :pok: :rofl:

No, I just looked outside. The birds fly the right side up, we are definitively on the top :P

It's dark outside right now, but I'm certain I will see exactly the same thing tomorrow - for both of us "down" is towards the centre of our planet, just some flat-earth types haven't figured out the whole spherical planet & direction of gravity thing. I guess I could make allowances if you lived in a country where something like 70% of the population doesn't believe in evolution, but you don't, so you can't use that excuse :pok: :pok: :pok: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Heretic.
I was in NZ once. They have only walking birds Kiwi and lots of Penguins. Its all evolution and science. Birds that did fly down into the sky from underneath the earth disk have a much greater chance of never getting back up to ground but fall down into space, so they got extinct. Here, what goes up must come down. Australia has the Emu, Africa has the ostrich, do you really need more proof?

All three unfortunately.

I won't argue with that "logic" (I'm not sure I know where to start ;) ). But you have to admit that even the most rabid flat-earther has to respect an overgrown chook that can disembowel you with one kick (and watch out for cassowaries, they are big AND stroppy).

Big, stroppy and packing claws like this...

looks like something that should be on a velociraptor

Well, that might have been very close. Birds and reptiles are quite closely related, feathers and scales are evolutionary homologues (they are two chips from the same block of wood). Also, there is some evidence that at least some (see thats more theoretical than the earth disk) of the dinos had feathers or probably an ancestral form of feathers.

Hi,
I'm in Oz too, naturalized from South Africa. Love being "down under"
Pete

Another one to go on the list, and hopefully one more by the time tomorrow is over :whistle:
-
Brand new here.
I'll add to the list. Kiwi living in Oz.
And I really need to get cheaper hobbies.

Do you guys know if I have to declare a SAK before shipping it to Australia? It looks like it's not prohibited on the customs site but then I went to dutycalulator and it is saying the procssing fee is $48

Had loads of SAKs shipped to me here in Oz (from UK/USA mainly) - Never paid any import duties......
Or had any issues with customs/prohibited goods etc
:tu:
Although shipments do get held up by customs sometimes - and I know at least one package has been opened
Certain knives are banned here eg flick knives, balisong, automatic/gravity openers etc
So don't send them
SAKs are fine

Every now and then Customs or Quarantine open up one of my MT boxes, but zero issues so far ( I mostly collect plier-based MTs, and never any "illegal" knives).
No import duty or GST on packages with a total value (including postage & insurance) under $Au 1,000.00 Unless customs think you are operating a commercial business.
Describe the SAKs as "camping tools" and you should be OK :tu:

Another Aussie just joined.

Welcome!

Been a member for a while, but haven't logged in due to the distractions of life. Spent the day here catching up a bit, though.
