563 Burpees for a large macca fries

Or so I've read

I just pay with cash personally

 

[Threelegs]

WTF is behind this Maccas/Mackers thing?

It's an awesome prank.

Stay home and do your washing . What's wrong with you people?

Blue and yellow stains everything in the wash!

I'm on holidays from interstate this time around. Spent the whole day with family at home with poor internet and no TV. Yesterday reminded me that moving to Darwin was a good decision.

 

[Borry]

Sinking a carton in the park with ex work mates as one mate is broke and beer is $11 a pint in the bogan pub nearby.

Shit poor Perth drunks do.

 

[BALKAN]

Have you tried not living below the poverty line?

 

[ioppolo]

Maybe he wouldn't be broke of he didn't 'sink cartons' ?

You haven't got a house?

 

[Off The Couch]

Well now we know who still lives at home with the folks

Better to bail him out by $20 than by $50.

Enjoyed that time in the park together. Good bonding session in the peace and quiet.

It's 3700km away.

Can anyone tell me why the Indian Ocean Road was not built as a dual carriageway? They couldnt have been lacking room. Caravans and boats being towed at 80kmhr on a 110 kmhr with overtaking lanes every 80 km is recipe for disaster

It's a scenic route not highway 1 - the section from Jurien to Dongara is an absolute nightmare
I go to Geraldton and would never use this road on a long weekend - even if I was going to Jurien I would go Brand and then cut back in

Cost. And its seriously not the hardest road to overtake on anyway. Something doing 80 you can blitz pass no worries with a clear gap on a straight.

Scenic route. Yep that makes sense. Only a short trip back from Jurien to Perth and there were some pretty nice spots along the way.

If you ever get the chance do Jurien to Dongara - you are so close to the ocean that the urge to stop for a swim is strong. I grew up visiting some of those fishing camps and they were accessible only by 4wd and it's quite surreal seeing them so close to the road now

You live on MH370?

How much of the Brand Hwy is dual carriageway?

There isn't that much dual carriageway in WA outside the Perth metro area. Forrest Hwy, Parts of SW Hwy and Bussell Hwy... that's about it.

We had a shack just south of dongara. Bloody government tore it down. Had the best times up there growing up.

 

[Scotland]

Dongara bakery is great.

It isn't dual carriageway - that sort of money only gets spent on the south. There are overtaking lanes but the road itself is wider and in better nick than the coast road as it carries a lot of trucks

It's not that much better that it's worth adding 60km on a trip to Jurien.

They might as well just shoot me, It would be a quicker and more humane death.

I don't think it's that much further but I'm also only talking taking that route on those really crazy long weekends

The bumper to bumper traffic slows the journey down significantly anyway and the idiots pulling out to pass 4 or 5 cars at a time makes for an interesting trip.

I just find there is less traffic going the highway but more road trains so each to their own

As I am sure you know, those 'work it off' numbers are nonsense as the vast bulk of the energy we need is consumed by the body keeping all the normal functions running and regulating body heat. But if you prefer the humane death....
