South Australia is Full of Clothes Lines

Or so you would believe after watching the South Australian Tourism Commission ads.



Did you see all the different clothes lines?

There's at least five of them in that one minute ad.

And there's even more in the lates Tourism South Australia ad, but unfortunately I appear to lack the skills to track it down on Youtube. So we're just going to have to make do with this one ad.

But it's like the South Australia authorities wants everyone to know that South

Australia is home to the largest collection of clothes lines, much like Shepparton is home to the largest collection of model cows.

And you know that's exactly what people will want to see when going on Holidays; clothes lines ... hopefully they're Hills Hoists clothes lines since Adelaide is the home of Hills Hoist.

It can be a learning holiday for the family!

That'll be fun, going on a tour around the state learning all about the history of the Hills Hoist, because as we all know kids love learning about history. Especially when it's the history of something as mundane and uneventful as the good old clothes lines. Plus the parents can also have plenty of fun too.

The fun isn't just limited to the kids!

But all those clothes lines around the South Australian country side also serve another purpose. Yes, besides providing non stop excitement for the whole family, they can also be used to dry clothes on for families who are camping and need somewhere to hang their washing or just even wet towels after showering and/or swimming. And since there seems to be a clothes line in every possible location, finding one shouldn't be a problem.

Is there anything the humble clothes line can't do?

So next time you're planning your holiday don't forget about South Australia and their wonderful collection of clothes lines, which is quite possibly the largest in the world ... and is quite possibly more exciting than Shepparton's collection of cows. There's fun and excitement to be had by everyone!

Fair's Fair

Everyone who is banging on about climate change and how we're ruining the planet through it need to stop and think for a second.

Just remember that Mother Nature started this little fight!

Climate change is simply us retaliating ... and (best of all) it's totally justifiable!

Just think about this before you condemn climate change and those who continue to enable climate change;

How many times has the weather suddenly changed from amazingly clear and sunny day to horrible, Londonesque rainy day as soon as you've put a load or two of freshly cleaned laundary on the clothes line?

How many times has a nice family day out at the park, or wherever, been ruined by a last minute weather change?

You know the change I'm talking about; just like the laundary question, the weather appears to be all nice and sunny and the perfect day for a day outside, you get ready and leave only to arrive at your destination and suddenly have the weather change for the worse moments after arrival.

How many big and/or important events been ruined by bad weather when up until the change, all signs pointed to fantastic weather?

I could keep going on, but really, my point has been made; Mother Nature is being a little bitch with us, and has been like this for as long back as we (as a species) can remember.

It was only a matter of time before we (again, as a species) got sick of Mother Nature's shenanigans and retaliated. If Mother Nature can't handle it, then maybe Mother Nature should stop screwing us around so much with the weather and ruining all of our best laid plans.
