    NZ/Australia tips

    Heading down under in two weeks, for a month, as an end-of-university trip...barring unforeseen circumstances, will be back in time for camp.

    If anyone has been there or knows about good stuff to do there etc., I'd love to hear it.

    Will be in Christchurch/Auckland/Melbourne/Brisbane/Sydney.

    2 Super 14 rugby games, 2 NRL rugby games, and 2 Aussie Football League games already accounted for.

    Fire away.

    The water swirls around the opposite way when you flush.

    You're welcome.

      Let me know how you like the place. I've always wanted to go to New Zealand.

        This is actually a common misconception.

        The Coriolis effect does not determine the direction that water rotates in a bathtub drain or a flushing toilet. The Coriolis force is relatively small; it appears over large scales (like weather systems) or in systems such as the Foucault pendulum in which the small influence is allowed to accumulate over time. In a bathtub or toilet, the flow of the water over the basin itself produces forces that dwarf the Coriolis force. In addition, most toilets inject water into the bowl at an angle, causing a spin too fast to be affected by the Coriolis effect.

              There's a sheep joke in there somewhere...
              There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

                Kangaroos don't like it when you try to hitch a ride in their pouch.
                On an unrelated topic; Kangaroos can beat the crap out of a grown man pretty easily.



                Don't ask me how I know these things.
                These pretzels are making me thirsty.

                  From Sylvester and Hippety Hopper, perhaps?





                  That's where I learned that one from.
