Was the road necessary though?

Also, I wanna see it, but I’m in Australia so

Might never have a release here

Probably just gonna buy it on DVD or something once that’s out, get one of my mates to send it over

I'm sure it'll have some digital release. The real disappointment was seeing how empty the theater was.

We would be living in far denser communities too.

@Salacious Swanky Cat yes, it was one of the major arteries leading to one of the outflows to the freeway

Was a constant factor in complaints re traffic, wrecked wheels, punctured tyres etc

Oh! If you're Australian, not to hijack ya'lls conversation anymore than I already have, any recommendations for someone looking to spend a week there? I'd prefer to steer clear of tourist heavy areas for some true Australian culture

@Deleted User dang.

@SteelandSouls go to Outback Steakhouse. Lol

@SteelandSouls where in AU were they planning on going?

Cause I don’t really know anywhere outside of Victoria...

I was considering Adelaide

I’ve only been to Adelaide twice, and while it isn’t bad, it’s... I dunno

A pretentiously sad imitation of France

Or Marlborough in New Zealand

A running joke here is that Adelaide is the forgotten capital in Australia

That's disheartening

lol that says a lot

For the most part South Australia is the place that everyone sort of just forgets about

I hear East Australia is the place to be but that also means that plenty of other people are being at that place

It often gets mentioned as something you pass through on the way to somewhere, but uh... yeah

Yeah, but stay away from urban centers such as Sydney and Melbourne

Plenty of country towns in Victoria that have plenty of personality

New South Wales I dunno much about since I only ever traveled there for work, but Vic is pretty decent

Some real bogan towns here too

bogan?

So if you wanna experience the hillbilly equivalent of Straya that’s where you wanna go

hm...the American hillbilly in me says "Go for it!" Also, the American hillbilly in me says "You're going to be the foreigner there. That may not play out like you think." lol

Haha

I don’t think they’re as hospitable as some places but you really get to see the country in country terms in places such as, say, Geelong or Bendigo

Some good drives through the great ocean road (which is a touristy place, but bear with me) then swing up to Halls Gap and do some mountain climbing or something

I don't mind some touristy. I just know what its like to go to places outside the country and it feels too American than where I'm supposed to be

Port cities are pretty nefarious for it

Yeah stay away from the ports

It’s a good drive to go through the Goulburn valley and visit some farms

Mildura etc

Echuca was pretty hostile when I went there but that’s more because I’m brown I think...

They didn’t act that way towards the Serbian coworker I had with me at the time

Well that sounds like that's more your fault than theirs 😃
