Yeah, it's down in my home state, Victoria. Thought to be spread by mosquitoes - sales of insect repellant will probably go up... :tea:

Try using hops instead.

Is it not gin he intends to distill?... no need for hops but he'll need juniper, citrus and other botanicals...

I'm no real fan of gin without tonic, but I love me good rye whiskey.

Two cases of "super gonorrhea," a strain of the sexually transmitted disease that is resistant to all frontline antibiotics, have been identified in Australia, the Australian Government Department of Health reported on Tuesday. This comes three weeks after the world’s first documented case of super gonorrhea, where the patient’s infection was resistant to all known treatment, was discovered in the U.K.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Just don't have sex, don't get bitten by a mosquito, don't swim in the ocean or the creeks, don't walk in the bush, don't drive through the desert, don't annoy crocs or cassowaries. Easy.

Otherwise you can do everything which is staying in bed surrounded by a mosquito net. In Queensland that was everything you could do along with drinking all day.

Well my wife's cousin was an alcoholic. They used to live in Melbourne. He a university lecturer and she a producer in ABC. They went to the dogs when they moved north.

We Floridians are quite envious of Australians. Yeah we got gators, but they have salties. We got zika, they got Buruli. We're drunks, but they're drunkier. We got Mexicans, you got Aborigines.

We're Australia Lite.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
