Australians - Where are you all????

Good morning, Aussies.

It seems the Qantas news is now Old News. It's not even making the headlines anymore

Random, but, I've been to the Qantas founders museum. The one in longreach. It was very interesting. Qantas started in outback Queensland as a flying doctor thing.

It's Melbourne cup today isn't it?

Who's everyone betting on? Am I allowed to ask that

Who is running?? I have no clue and I even live in Melbourne

I was going to take the detector out today- but after waking with a headache.. I think its a lazy day at home for me..

I'm not exactly sure. I just picked the one my eyes were drawn to the first time I looked at the paper. So the guy with the yellow and black and white checkered shirt. Bart Cummings trained the horse. So I should have a chance.

Good Morning!

Found a baby galah today that got caught in some barbed wire. poor thing cant be saved! we will have to kill it!

Please try and save it. Try your best.

Morning all

Poor galah, hope you can save it! Most vets treat native animals for free if you can get to one.

I can't believe we get a day off for a horse race... I think horse racing is cruel so I don't bet on anyone. I am grateful for a day off though

Yes, it is! I've never been to the races. I reckon it'd be a good day out though.

I'm hearing on the news that this "Americane" has good pretty good backing. I usually tune out during the sports section though

Didn't one of the founders have the surname Fish?

I was pretty surprised to find out that QANTAS is actually an acronym.
