A 'real' Outback theme could have...

1.  The Aboriginal Mission: Even heavily juniorised elements can't keep the
housing upright. Willa the Witch is recycled into a 'Little Sisters of the
Culturally Imperialiing' minifig. A large roadtrain restocks the service
station with petrol and alcohol.

2.  Former Nuclear Test Site: Sort of like Space Port, but with lots less
elements (not very good value for money).

3.  Uranium Mine: Like Rock Raiders, but even more trans-glowing elements.
Comes complete with perimeter fence and protester minifigs.

4.  Outback Pub: High alcohol intake and high speed motorsport. Comes with
Police pursuit vehicle and ambulance.

And power-pole that car fits around?


5.  Backpacker Minifig Set: 5 Timmy minifigs with different coloured hair and
Adventurers Style Tent.

If using Timmies, can ivan Milat figure be included?


6.  A B&S ball set. Large numbers of extremely drunk minifigs, plus numerous
over-powered utes. (Same utes can also be used everywhere else in the
outback sets)

Comes with special 48x48 baseplate for 'circle work'


7.  Pastoral lease. 4 minifigs, 50 baseplates, and 80 thousand sheep. :)

And how long before someone came up with the MOC Kiwi version? [If you don't
know what I'm referring to, you really don't want to.]


8.  Flooded town. Comes with no houses, only roofs which stick out of
mud-brown baseplates. Minifigs sit on top of roofs. Comes also with
food-drop helicopter, and sympathetic state premier minifig, which does
absolutely nothing. :) • [besides talk to reporter]

9.  A Special Uluru Set: Piece count = 1 Big BURP.

Along with native 'care-takers'?

10. Two 16 x 32 tan* baseplates, laid end to end. Two bushes (in brown or >>tan, not green) on one, one bush on the other. Five spiders, eleven snakes >>and two scorpions. A couple of cow skulls (white 1 x 3 slope, 1x1 clip and
bull's horns) A Troy Dann minifig (blue legs, yellow torso (with hairy
chest print) and arms, cowboy hat) and a horse/motorbike/jetski/helicopter.

11.  Brekkie. Two minifigs with proper Akubras, dead gumtree (lots of grey
2x2 cyliders), ute with roo-bar (non-juniorised please), swags (made out of
hinge bricks so they roll up), assorted tools, campfire (various brown
plates, trans orange bits), frying pan, camp crockery (green 2x2 radar
dishes, green cups), bacon (raw meat 1x2 plate (printed?)), scrambled eggs
(pale (belville) yellow 1x1 plates), toast (tan/white 1x1 plates), butter
(bright yellow 1x2), vegemite (black 1x1 cylinder).

new pieces: billie (black minifig scale bucket), giant blowflies, billabong
16x16 baseplate

12. 'Explore the outback': 1 land rover with 2 minifigs and film crew. land
rover has special 'Leyland brothers' markings

13. Outback kitchen: various spiders, snakes, scorpions, and other animals,
along with the bush-tucker man [and native assistant?]

14. Outdoor dunny: comes with one out-house containg dunny with opening lid.
under lid.....1 red-back (on spring mounting in internation release?).

15. Barrier reef set: perfect set for the standard coloured minifig. comes
with dive boat, shark and two less minifigs than shown on box.

And the accessory pack...containing jerry can, various tools/camp
accessories, drop-bear, road-kill roo [with tyre marks] and the obligatory
VB slab(s)
