QUOTE (virtuallotus @ 03/04/2012, 12:53 PM) I'm talking about Central Queensland. Yeah, totally killed off my cowboy fetish...completely! Oh gosh, you couldn't be talking about Rockhampton and surrounds could you? I dunno why, but the worst 3 months of my young life spent in Rockhampton. What a dive and YES, for some reason, the men were just SO gross....... Either total yobbo's or wannabe "country" blokes who thought the sun shone out of their droppy ass I couldn't wait to get out of "rocky" and I would NEVER go back to that part of Qld. Teh only place I've ever lived that I genuniely disliked and really couldn't find a positive thing to say about the place, even all these years later. Total dive. Tamm

Yep, grand ol' Rocky. And yes, one of the worst places I've been also.

Ask me about my cats
Probably about 25ish. I still enjoy drinking and staying out late, but I just hit a wall with drinking where I get to a certain level of drunk and can't drink anymore until I've sobered up a bit. It's been many years since I've been at the stumbling around, slurring my words, the room is spinning level, vomit before I've even gotten home level of drunk (which is what I class as 'blind').

Oh god...if Rocky is the only "regional" Australia someone was to go to....well....it would make me consider living in inner city Sydney LOL Yep - it's the pits alright, I can't understand why anyone would live in that gawd-awful place?! If people think Tassie is "inbred"....agghh...got nothin on the Rocky population. There are VERY distinct "social" groups there too. HIlarious, the townie, wannabe "country" people are the most incredible SNOBS And they have absolutely nothing to be snobbie about, but they dress in the long denim skirts, with "paisley" shirt and pearls, stick their hoity-toity noses in the air, attend the cattle sales adn think they are hotsht +++ With their equally dull and yes, usually fat (can tell exactly how long a man has been married in central Qld by how fat he is and the women are either pencil thin or very overweight) Then the other side of the coin in Rocky are the true Bogans... Priceless really FAcintating place to live if you were doing a PhD in Anthropology!!! Tamm This post has been edited by TammIam*: 03/04/2012, 01:21 PM
