Flammable Australian River

Ronald Wilson Reagan

From my knowledge of Australia, mostly from Home and Away, it's pretty dangerous place with twice annual bush fires, floods, alf stewart, sharks, spiders and koala bears. But now it's just got a little more riskier with flammable rivers.

I have seen some mad things in my life; when I took LSD and Ayahuasca. But I never saw a river on fire until today.
Many thanks for the video link. The guys reaction was funny.
You may like to see the electric when you put hair gel on a speaker playing music (I know I did). Youtube it.

Nah, Is it not more of a case of "Put another shrimp on the barbie" in this case you don't need it.

I have a feeling that like very similar circumstances on the US, it will turn out the river always had a methane seepage and you could always do that.

There was something similar in a documentary called Gasland. They went around showing the consequences of fracking, and at least one of them had flamable gas bubbling from their land that turned out to be natural marsh gas (presented as a fracking side effect in the movie).

Koalas are dangerous now? Unless you're having sex with them, I'm pretty sure they pose no danger to humans, or anything actually.

Have you seen a chicken in a bikini dancing the Charleston on top of a flag pole?

No?

Then despair not, you still have something to see!

Apparently they can get pretty vicious. Like most wild animals. The eucalyptus leafs they eat get them slightly intoxicated and when they can't get their fix they turn nasty.

Aye while attacks are rare, they have some fierce claws to stay up in them trees. Also pretty moody during mating season. And yes the less high they are on the leaves the Moore aggressive they become.

It doesn't really matter how cute an animal is, it will do it's best to gore you if you mess with it. Especially if it's Australian.

The worst most dangerous animal I've heard of from Australia is a tick that makes you allergic to mammalian meat after it bites you. You might not even feel the tick bite but then you go to have a nice steak the next day and you drop down dead. Nature can be quite inventive when it wants to be.

They don't get high from eucalyptus, it's an extremely low energy food that gives them just about enough energy to be awake for only 4 hours a day. Also they tend to stay well away from humans so if you're stupid enough to be clawed by a horny koala you deserve it. I'd say it's more likely you'd be run over by a cow tbh.

Actually what you are most likely to do is ruin the radiator on your rental car in a swarm of locusts.

I ate a chicken tikka masala for my dinner last night and a pints of cider.
I reckon I could reproduce fire on water in the bath today with the farts I am doing.
I let one off in Tesco earlier and it cleared the aisle.

I had a mate who was attacked by a drop bear, killed my mate stone dead, he said it was the most painful experience of his life.

Yeah, I was killed by a drop bear once. Was lucky to come away with my life.

When I was in Australia I just spent the whole time imitating and Aussie accent and I never had any trouble with drop bears. I'd recommend everyone sit through a few episodes of Home And Away and learn from the great Alf Stewart before heading over.
