Falcon is not my real name (probably obvious) its Lachlan. I live in Hobart Tasmania Australia and love it. It is going into winter at present soit is cooling down.

I love the outback, thats were I grew up, and the simple hard way of life that is there. My family managed a cattle property for a company until they sold it.

I have a adorable wife and a son who turned 1 last wednesday.
I am studying at present to be a high school teacher for i have not been able to find work in the computer industry since I moved from Central Queensland 2 years ago.( very tropical area only 2 days of winter a year, nice).

Anyways fire away ?? ;)

I was born in Brisbane Queensland but grew up near TAmbo and a little town called Rolleston also in Queensland.

Fav thing ... most likely our sence of humour, creativeness and ability to get on with the job no matter what the odds. O yes This is the great south land of the Holy Spirit....

...A land of red dust plains. And summer rains. To this sunburnt land. We will see a flood. And to this Great Southland His Spirit comes...

Welcome and Curse You Captain Cook For Discovering Australia!
Nah! Just joking with your mind!
So another person from the land where the seasons are all topsy turvy.
I always thought it was weird that Aussies have Christmas in Summer when all of us have to suffer through it in Winter.But I guess we have our revenge on you
now!
Ok,I'll play nice now.
So what grade do you hope to teach when you get your teacher's certificate?

O_o
Do you even know what a summer in Aussie is like?! Trust me, I'd rather have 6 feet of snow (which I have had before :grin: ) than suffer through the Aussie summer.

...A land of red dust plains. And summer rains. To this sunburnt land. We will see a flood. And to this Great Southland His Spirit comes...

Woooaaah, wooaaah,
This is our nation
this is our land!
This lucky country
of dreams gone dry.
And to its people,
we see a harvest,
and to this land,
revival comes!

ROCK ON! I love that song :grin:

They can never get it right, can they? :P
I do believe its "gday mate!". Noone says "good day", two separate words. Run them together "gday"
