Gee .... the closest I ever got to being that typical was when I was 17.

Even then, I was still a couple of streets away.......

Aaagh! Snake!

Yes, there are some typically Australian things I'd rather NOT think about! (Although it's a beautiful design...)

I wasn't frightened, Loco... *tries to stop the trembling and deal with the wildly staring eyes*

No, no, not scared at all. I eat tiger snakes for breakfast.

That's not a snake.

That's a 50-course meal.

This is a snake in the Kimberlies about to swallow a Wallaby. Look closely, it is a long one.

Nolan's Ned Kelly no steal at $5.4m

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/03/25/2856436.htm

A Sidney Nolan painting of Ned Kelly has sold for a record-breaking $5.4 million to an unknown bidder.

First Class Marksman, a 1946 painting of the legendary outlaw, smashed the previous record for an Australian artwork of $3.48 million when it went under the hammer in Sydney.
