How do you know when you are in the county

[Brumbypt]

Most ppl have above have described the outback, not the country..


Country ppl are different to outback locals...


Tapa Tapa talk is not as good as using safari.

From my experience, you know your in the country when.
The locals say more by not saying anything at all.

You know you are in the country when ...

You don't have to lock your house or car ...

When I was a kid our neighbours went to England for 3 months ... didn't lock their door, 'cause it didn't have a lock!

When your power goes out with a strong gust of wind

When you don't have mobile coverage or internet access

When you come from work after a storm and hubby (Mr TheTaylors) is out with a neighbour, both with chainsaws chopping up the huge tree that came down blocking the road and our drive....

You can hear a car coming from kilometres away.

No town water or sewerage

The local sporting club is the social life of the town....

The deb ball is run through the school....

There is a deb ball!!

Tractor Pulls.... ahh memories of the Quambatook tractor pull!!

Rodeos, camp drafts etc etc

Gotta love the country!!!

When your mail doesn't get delivered by a postman and you have to have a post box.

When a tree drops in your front yard and everyone's over with a chain saw to get their share of firewood.

We get a postman Tuesday & Friday but if its bigger than a letter we have to go to the post office. . . Does that count as country??

We get a mail bag dropped in every Wednesday by the weekly mail plane run, though sometimes the letters are 4 or 5 weeks old.  I wonder where that rates in this conversation.

When you pull in for fuel and they ask which way you going,

Quilpie... Good oh I got a compressor here for Dave's freezer, just drop it off at the pub there, he'll be needing it soon if it doesn't cool down soon, maybe a bit of rain would help, though don't give it much hope, hasn't rained for months and we will be carting water again soon. Mates got a truck sitting around doing nothing, might see if we can put a tank on the back of that, could make a quid... Best get on with it, can't let you buggers hold me up all day!

When the kids start arguing about which movie to watch next..... Takes a whole movie at 110kph to get far enough away from sydney.

And then that sinister laugh kicks in as I cut the power to the DVD players.

Yesterday afternoon we definitely knew we were not in the city.  The grandkids were playing with their new IPad, Napanangk and I walked in and asked who wanted to go out and get some lukiti (witchety grubs)....the IPAD was left on the bed, and the kids were on the trayback almost before I had finished asking them,  We were out for about 3 hours and got almost half a bucket of lukiti, as well as two mundun (black head python, a very successful day.
Got home, some damper, hot tea, lukiti and mundun, and all were content for a nights rest.
Regards

When complete strangers stop, have a chat, crack a joke and pat your dog.

When you can't hear your neighbour's kid...s slamming the dunny seat all day long. (Thank god they've gone)
When you can't hear your neighbour's dog barking 8 hours a day even tho the neighbour is at home. (that's two thank god they've gone) I do however feel sorry for their new neighbours.
