I mean, NZ would be its own globe because it’s a separate country.
But the Australia globe is potentially missing Tasmania.

so who are they pleasing?
Companies. Germany tends to only care about German companies, to the point where they’ll save them with taxpayer money every time their shares drop .2%

One of my Aussie relatives has a top of the line Dodge RAM Laramie and it literally has sidesteps that automatically slide out when you open the door…

It’s a bummer smaller, Aussie utes aren’t a thing anymore after Holden was killed and Ford axed all their exiting cars. If you want a ute in 2025 it’s pretty much gonna be big either way; of course those US shitmobiles are even bigger but still.

- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
Reading further into it, it seemed to have been the name of a watering hole in the area
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, someone mentioned to me how it used to be next to the highway but then said highway was rebuilt to bypass Albury or something.
It’s still not that far away in my opinion but it’s not exactly walking distance from anywhere.
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
Interesting that the previous owner of the Pub in Albury had these grand plans of a caravan park and a petrol station, even read somewhere that they wanted to build it into a theme park.
Obviously didn’t go too well for them…
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
It’s a Wiradjuri word meaning “place of good drink”
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
They still had them when I was there!
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
Mhhh… Looked up some reviews on Google and the owner’s responses are either hopeful that they can return the place to its former glory, blaming the previous owners for its current state, dismissive of any criticism or completely unhinged…
I hope it won’t close or anything…
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
I’m kinda aware that there were 4 Ettamogah Pubs in total, but I don’t know where and I can’t find anything about the other ones
- Comment on The original Ettamogah Pub in Albury, NSW 3 weeks ago:
I actually don’t know the significance of the words, must be in reference to the Ettamogah Pub comic strip that inspired the building. But you’re right, it’s kinda amusing how Aussie it is; I couldn’t help but chuckle when first reading it^^
Thanks heaps for sharing!
