Back in the dark ages I did fancy moving and living in Australia by transferring to the Australian Army…I couldn’t surmount the barriers and hurdles place in front of me though, which was a pity I had and still have a great deal of respect for their military
Yep, it’s nice when watching Rugga and uvva sports Percy !

Australia and maybe New Zealand would be somewhere we would like to live. Have special close friends in Denmark Western Australia, it is a tad cold during Winter but a wildish kind of place that has a great feel about it.
Seem to lost contact with an elderly Uncle in Perth, Australia. my Late Mother’s Sister’s Husband, has some Dementia and now his Phone is dead…The Friends in Denmark are doing all they can…Come a few weeks they are back visiting in the Perth area ,where my Uncle lives/lived, they are going to his house to investigate for me…Have loads of relatives in New Zealand not that they know of me…I only know through Ancestry interests and the missing Gold…find that and maybe go travelling again…
I feel for the Aussie Farmers my self…they are having an extremely tough time…
I think ALL farmers are going to have a hard time soon ??
Saw a snippet today that suggested that not content with wanting
all livestock slaughtered to combat climate change, the climate
warriors now propose to do away with farming altogether and
instead manufacture all food synthetically in factories, on the grounds
that this would create hundreds of thousands of new jobs as well
as cutting emissions ??
I hope the government doesn’t listen. to these loonies !!

Most of the Aussies in Australia, including the farmers, are not indigenous, and look at the damage they’re doing to the environment! 
Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I lived in Aussie for 14 years, and that was my wind-up line when some Aussies complained about me having a cat!
Was wanting a cat anyfink to do wiv mice GC ??

Indigenous - neither are most of the farmers but that hasn’t stopped them?
Indigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. that leaves all the whities out then?
