Yeah, but if it was meant to be outback Australia, they would have sold
these sets in Australia, wouldn't they?

Not necessarily. From here, it's an exotic foreign location. For you, it's
probably everyday ho-hum boringness. :)



Strewth, thanks for reminding me cobber, I'd better make shore the
windmill's working right before I fly the hairyplane to work tomorrah... :-)

Seriously though, I suspect I'd have to drive about as far as you would
before I saw even a windmill, let alone an outback airstrip.
Mind you, I saw a big windmill today when I went out driving in the country,
there's a coincidence. Except it was a European-style windmill (you know,
the building-shaped ones they used to grind grain in).

Hmmm, better stay on topic....  anyway, I was out in the countryside looking
in toy shops for Lego. Didn't find much, except I did see a few of #6418
Paradisa Country Club. People have often mentioned regretting not buying
Paradisa. Personally I couldn't bring myself to buy something with so much
pink.... 6418 looks pretty dull for parts too. Hmm, pink.....

(...) *laugh* Yes, I know. But it's perception that counts, and 99% of what we know of Australia comes from Crocodile Dundee and Fosters' commercials. (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.town)
