Any of you guys live in Perth?

We exchange parcels all the time with Belgium and the average is four weeks. Sometimes get stuff months later.
Don't forget the rules that apply by international convention these days for sending parcels overseas. If you haven't provided proof of identity at the point of dispatch, then every organisation in the chain (in this case USMAIL, The forwarder, the carrier, the depots, and Australia Post) are all obliged to Xray and substance test the article. This causes huge bottlenecks that can delay things litterally forever.
You DID provide proof of identity, didn't you?
Hey can one of you pop by this guys house and hold his hand for a while. I'm not sure he is a real OZ type. He is kinda a pansy by the look and sound of his email.
NURSE!
The Indian Ocean on one side, the majority of Western Australia which
has bugger all population to the north, The Nullabor Plain (aboriginal for "1 tree plain" to the east and and Antarctica to the south. So good luck getting
your book or money.
Arbor, would I suppose be technically correct, though even that is incorrect as I understand those that know Latin.
Look, who gives a stuff. It's a bloody big bit of desert where the train doesn't go around a corner for 350 miles and cruise controls on cars get a work out at 200kph.
Not worth the words already used.
Since when did Aboriginals learn Latin!
And when did Mr Latin man visit the deserts of Australia???
And, and when I went over on the Indian Pacific (train-longest stretch of straight railway in the world) in 1977, I swear I saw a tree,... but sorry, no books.

Most of the vehicle accidents occur on the bends at each end of that straight stretch of road. It's bastard without cruise control let me tell ya. Then the first place you come across heading west is a place called Border Village. Village my arse, it's a roadhouse with a shed out the back.
Oh and you have to keep an eye out for planes landing on the road across the Nullabor as it is also used as an emergency landing strip for the RFDS. You also have to watch out for Wedgies, goannas, dingoes, roos, donkeys and camels.

And black cows at night (we nearly hit one in the Val), and Swedish Backpackers (we picked up two) and almost running out of petrol
(not so bad with the Swedish backpackers), but that's another story.
;)
We sure have some stupid people in this country. A firend of mine that moved from Texas to New Jersey told me that people in Jersey think we ride horses to school, and do other stereotypical cowboy stuff.
