 haha, spent the first 36 years of my life there

i myself was once driving my girlfriend's proton satria at 160km/h up the mostly very flat straight highway between mackay and cairns somewhere at 3 in the morning... that was fun... pedal to the metal!

but i was regaled with many such stories by my school mates over the years, i lived in a regional center - my mother had a bf for a while who ran a farm, i was 12, got taught how to drive the ute around the fields, sat on the back of a ute one time with mum driving and the farmer was shooting roos (hit him right between the eyes, mum still has the hide)
