    speaking of the water situation, i was in western victoria this weekend just gone by and the rivers and damns out there look hideous... can't help but wonder how long this can go on for before it becomes a genuine crisis

    there are signs on the doors of all the toilets at adelaide airport that read: Adelaide Airport Limited uses recycled water for toilet flushing DO NOT DRINK

    slightly off topic but the recycled water thing reminded me of the signs, and the signs reminded me why i moved back to victoria.

    in all honesty i wouldn't be drinking water from the toilet even if it weren't recycled. :D
    and adelaide come on where do you think they dispose of all those dead bodies? :D:D

    See, this was the answer I was looking for. Thanks cate!

    Awww you too Scot! Ever heard of The Fillmore? You sure as shit belong there! :) Good luck!

    Were you actually looking for an answer? I thought you were just being a tool.

    Yes, we are an island, and a country. The continent includes the Australian mainland and the islands of Tasmania (which is an Australian state) and New Guinea (which isn't).

    But New Zealand and Tansania have nothing to do with Australia right? It's an island, country and continent.

    Is that how they do it! I've been wondering what the secret was.

    Are you really serious? Tell me you aren't serious.

    Tanzania is in Africa. Africa is that big continent. It joins on to the middle east. You should have heard of the middle east before.

    Tasmania is a state of Australia. New Zealand is a separate country, run by sheep.

    pay attention. :D
    the whole island continent of australia is one country. it also includes nuigini, which is several islands to the north of queensland( a state of australia)
    tasmania is a state of australia. it too is an island and hangs off the bottom of the mainland under the state of victoria.
    new zealand is some other place against whom we play rugby union and cricket and netball. it has nothing to do with australia.

    and any more questions feel free to ask.

    So they're kind of like what Scotland is to Great Britain.

    Tasmania is a state of Australia. Kind of like North Carolina is to the United States. Get it now?

    How about this. Maybe it will help you understand this very difficult geographical concept.

    Australia = USA
    Tasmania = Alaska or Hawaii
    New Zealand = Mexico
    Papua New Guinea = Canada

    Make sense now?
