Pompeii In Western Australia.

Something worth mentioning for Sandgropers.
Pompeii in Perth

Thanks for that, Rod.

Up Pompeii!

That dates you Steve :)
Should be a good show, I have diarised it.
I saw the original, but I was only a little tacker then.
I remember both the smell of the museum, and the burnt dog.

Is that Oz talk?

focus on the animals I posted bc

G'day BeeSee
The term 'sandgropers' has a long history as a colloquial name
for people born and raised in Western Australia

Queenslanders are "Banana benders"

Victorians, well we don't mention them

I see Rod. We don't have too much of that in Canada, however, people from Newfoundland are called "Newfies", those from Nova Scotia are called "Bluenosers" (named after the famous boat built there), and people from Alberta are often called "Rednecks", especially here in B.C.

In Tuvalu oh yes, the people from the 8 different islands all have there own slang names some very derogatory and unmentionable here. My wife is from Funafuti, and they are known as "nauti" or beautiful people. Must be self-named! Most of them now have Irish blood (like my wife). One of the other islands, they are said to have big feet, so there is some name for that, I forget what, I will ask my wife when she gets home.

South Australians are called Crow Eaters,
New South wales people I think are Cockroaches
And Victorians are called Mexicans (because they come from south of the border, from a NSW point of view)
Taswegians don't have a nick name that I am aware of, but we all think they are inbred and have two heads down there.

This is a sandgroper, they live under the sand as there name suggest, and very rarely seen. (which is fine by me)

Trig, What the...? eeewww

No comment.

La cucaracha thanks Trig
and people from the Northern Territory are called "Top Enders"

I had never seen such a beast before, so I looked it up and I was shocked to find out that it wasn't poisonous. I thought everything in Australia on land or in the sea was capable of killing you one way or another (OK, except for a sugar glider).


Princess Mary of Denmark is a Tasmanian - if that's the way they grow them down there, that's entirely acceptable to me.

In Cajun country we'd make a roo, throw in some onions, bell peppers, celery and hot sauce and cook those boogers.

We'd call it "groper & grits."

Swabbie, the hard part is finding the critters.

Ryan, Princess Mary looks OK now, but you should have seen the other head that we cut off before she went public. LOL
