Notice I split this thread from the "Pirates steal tanks" thread. I hope no one minds but there was significant thread drift and I really wanted to see how this process works. Pretty painless for the most part. - Kato13

Can't answer your question, but...whose bush were you in?

You all probably already know this but anyway, "been bush" is Aussie slang for having been out in a wilderness area. The term "outback" is similar but basically refers to anywhere in the warmer parts of Australia well away from the cities, with a more rural than wilderness connotation. "Bush" generally refers to wild country rather than rural. KC's State, South Australia and the State where MajorPo and I live, Western Australia, both have vast stretches of "bush" and KC and I have both spent a fair bit of time "in the bush".

I actually knew that slang, but deliberately put my mind in the gutter anyway...

Yeah I thought you knew Paul. Anyway, you live in Texas which has a lot of terrain I think I could relate to and you were a soldier so I bet you've spent a lot of time "in the bush" too eh? Heh heh.

HQ they are Australians, not Corsicans. For Corsicans that is the "Maquis", not the Bush . Some people have been hiding there for years. Yvan Colonna who participated in the killing of prefect Erignac hided there for 4 years before being captured (1999-2003).

This makes me remember that, a year ago, I tried to watch the australian TV serie "ANZACS". In original version. I left it in the third episode... I was able to undestand only about 50% of the dialog... Always when Paul Hogan was not speaking, of course. The part I was not able to understand was plenty of bushes, too.

Thats the "bush." It looks a hell of a lot like down the road from where I live in S. Cal.

Yes. A great deal of Australia looks much like that only flatter.

It looks like the mountains near Newberry or Calico here in California, or Joshua Tree further south. And these guys say its flatter, oh that must be nice to walk on.

Default Thread split notice.

I am not sure how often I will do this but if anyone thinks it is annoying or has any comments or complaints let me know.

There are lots of very rugged parts of the Australian bush (its an entire continent so there is a wide variety of terrain types) but very few mountain ranges and none that Americans would consider to be "big". Billions of years of being in the middle of our own tectonic plate and zero active volcanoes means no substantial mountains.

From footage and photos I've seen of Texas and New Mexico I very much agree with Paul's post. My mum was roaming around California recently and she did mention that some parts of that State reminded her of parts of Australia.

I don't mind. I actually like thread drift but it sort of distracts from the initial topics so splitting stuff off without killing that line of discussion is a good idea.

Exactly,

We can start a new topic from the drift, but we can retain and continue the original topic, so its a win win in my view.
