This is a thread for people to better understand Aussies
Scotopedia states the Caucasian invasion started in 1770 when boats arrived with people of dubious character. They thought the West coast was lovely but they heard of rumours of gold in the interior, off they went to make their fortune. Day after day the heat and searching for water holes was taxing their endurance, then came upon a site that amazed them, a flat top rock. Ater doing a highland fling around the rock they realised the error of their ways. So back to the West coast. They found what is now called New South Wales to their liking and the colony grew.
They developed a new strange accent and were skilled in making beer. As time marched forward and knowing they could not beat their arch enemy the Kiwis at rugby they developed a babaric game called Aussie Rules. This shows the primative development of these people as they play this game with no helmets or padding to protect themselves, as this is a very violent sport.
Here are some notes from people who have travelled to this continent.

My brother Wee Dave and his wife spent a month travelling the land this year and they had a terrific time. They mentioned an incident that has changed their lives. They came upon a place called Broken Hill and they were frolicking around in a grassy meadow singing at a moderate volume. Then a person appeared out his house who said "Piss off you Pom b*stards". Wee Dave was quite struck as he thought he was talking about the English, so he strode up the hill to congratulate him on his good sense. They had a long chat and he inquired if their was a place that this person would suggest to visit. He was told to visit Tasmania and visit a gent who was in the security business.
So off they went, this is where it gets murky. Wee Dave and his wife remember nothing of this meeting. This is the troubling part upon their return to Scotland every Saturday they leap out of their seats and shout "Australia..Australia... Saint Kilda and then have a beer.
I have searched the Catholic records but I can not find a reference to a Saint Kilda?
