I am a bushie from Down Under. I also have no idea what this thread's on about.
I've got what seems to be a bloody big Indonesian goanna in my roof - it scared the pants/sarong off my wife a few weeks ago...and had the audacity yesterday to appear before some visitors in our house (who were suitably impressed/terrified as well).
Didn't really bother me: I just told everyone it was a baby one. Maybe I should find some crocodiles to wrestle 'cept there don't seem to be any around here. No spitting cobras either. Wanna find a decent funnel-web spider whose eyes I can bite off and then cook Laba-laba goreng. I'm working on it mates.
There are many "Bushes" in the world: George Bush (Sr), George Walker Bush (the current idiot US president who probably drinks Texas oil at brekkie to prove it's safe to drink), the "Burning Bush" story in the Bible...and I know: Kate Bush rings a bell too.
"Wuthering Heights" is an all-time classic but I don't recall any mentions of bush or bushes in it. MIght be time to lay off my Irish whiskey.
:shock:
