228 in a 110 zone

[Stinger GT SS]

Yeah.. not saying it's condoned. Just, it's a big, open country. (I've been to AUS, spent Australia Day in Geelong and down the ocean road, in fact..)

Now that’s a great driving road.

To me, context is key.

Were there other cars around? He's endangering others and should get the book thrown at him.

Empty freeway? Fine him and move along.

Exactly.

Were you on Holiday here or based at one of the U.S. sites out that way? Woomera is miles from anywhere.

I have been to Australia on several occasions, all of them having to do with my business making parts for helicopters. My travels have taken me to Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Oakey, Townsville, and Woomera. We were doing night and desert testing in Woomera for a week. Fortunately, I had time to experience more than work. I had a great time and enjoyed the gregariousness of the Australian people as a whole. From the people I interacted with, your culture seemed more lighthearted than the US. There were so many similarities and things analogous to the US, that I felt right at home. Wasn't a huge fan of egg and beets on my burgers though. I laughed when I realized that Australia has Asian restaurants like the US has Mexican restaurants.

A burger in OZ ain’t a burger unless it has beetroot on it & with bacon & egg makes it the ultimate, some also have pineapple on it as well.
I love Mexican food, the best I experienced in the US was in Texas.

Well, I guess doing 30/kms over the speed limit here you can lose your license so someone doing over 100km/hr over will be deemed " newsworthy "

In most states here in the US, anything over 15mph (20mph in some states) can result in a lost license, large fines, and impounding of the car until the fine is paid. However, it happens every day and many don't think twice about it. It certainly isn't newsworthy, unless a spectacular crash is involved or a high speed pursuit ensues. I've traveled to Germany on a few occasions and driven the high speed parts of the autobahn. No one bats an eye when you fly by at a speed 100kmh higher than the next lane. It is odd. It certainly seems cultural when it comes to how the society as a whole views speed.

The first Asians came here in the Gold rush times, helped build this country been here a long time.

No beets or egg on your burger? You must have been eating a bread role.

I'd like to comment on the 228 in 110 but i might incriminate myself.

Just say you went to Mexico. Yes, you shipped your car to NA.

 

[87and66]

Yes lots of military testing out there as it’s away from prying eyes.
Yes Chopper Reid was a real character here, even the crims were scared of him...lol. You should watch the movie Chopper which starred Eric Bana, gives a good account of him.

I watched that movie years ago as a kid (not even sure what age) and up until this very moment, I thought I was the only person in the world to know about it haha. Probably a lot more well known over there then here in the US.
