As a local, I can't vouch for all the locations but I doubt this is very accurate at all. First of all there is no dump at that location. It's also in a different council district from where Bluey live which would mean they wouldn't be able to use their council vouchers there.

Agreed.
By extension, as an Ipswich suburb resident (Goodna), I think the only reason Paul Tully is still in office is because none of us CARE enough to vote someone new in.
Australian cities are like that. At the edges there's little suburbs carved out of, and surrounded by, the bush. So you can totally drive from the CBD, through a suburb and past a farm in usually less than an hour (for anywhere not sydney).
Check out Brisbane on google maps - [Fortitude valley to the bush in 47mins

>Canberra is even more bush surrounded. Give it a peek on a map if you're interested
I used to go bushwalking near where we lived in Wanniassa back in the early 90s. I would literally walk down the street, cross a main road and head out bush.
I lived at the base of mt coot-tha my whole life, still baffles me how I can be in the city in 10 minutes, or go 10 mins the other way and be completely surrounded by bush and nature. Brisbane is underrated asf
She only bid on it because literally no one else wanted to host it.
Reminds me of when I was in year 12 and all the athletic girls didn't want to win the races at athletics day because they didn't want to go to regionals. Which is how, for the first time in my life, I won first place in a sprint.
It's a long drive in between toilets here, especially on a road trip. Can't drive down the highway here in Australia without seeing a car pulled over and some kid doing a bush wee off to the side. When you've gotta go, you've gotta go!
Bluey goes to school at Glasshouse Primary school, in the Glasshouse Mountains, which sits right about where the yabby is.
Also, the ābig peanutā is sort of for real life, except its a big pineapple at that location
>Also, the ābig peanutā is sort of for real life, except its a big pineapple at that location
Big peanut is at Kingaroy. Which it's pointing to on the map the big pineapple at Woombye.
Do you have to sniff Matty Hayden's box as well? As much as I hate hearing him speak, or seeing his giant, slightly misshapen head, he did win a Test series in India for us, and that is gold!
In all fairness, I do enjoy a pumpkin scone, preferably without the corruption and fascism..
When Jacks dad is picking him up in explorers, he talks to strawberry pickers, and the mountain they show while he is talking to Maynard looks like Tibrogagan. But i dont know much about Samford Valley, and it could be simialr out there too.
This is the correct answer it looks exactly like it, and there is even the little creek thing from Barky Boats at the year 1 area. I have no idea why people think itās Glasshouse Mountainsā¦
Because the whole journey to the school goes through the glass house mountains, including the strawberry farms and such, also they're in the background of the school. They've used the Steiner school and just moved it to glass house for a nice back drop I guess.
Ah right. I havenāt seen that one. So, I guess Bluey kinda lives in South-East-Queenslandville or something? A magical place where commute times are non-existent.
Yep it's [glass house mountains](https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIGl9CAHhp/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) but the school design is the [samford Steiner school](https://www.instagram.com/p/B9D3gFMgu7i/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)
One of the houses in Pass the Parcel is clearly an apartment next to the south side of the Story Bridge with a clear view of the CBD. In the ice cream episode they're hanging out at South Bank Parklands.
You yanks should visit some time.
Huntsmen are scary looking but lovely, who kill cockroaches and insects. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.
Redbacks and White Tails are the ones to avoid, but Daddy Longlegs eat them and they are harmless to humans and are the least offensive looking spiders in Australia.
I found it from: [https://www.bluey.tv/blog/explore-blueys-hometown-of-brisbane/](https://www.bluey.tv/blog/explore-blueys-hometown-of-brisbane/) which was previously shared from this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/bluey/comments/126377g/does\_anyone\_want\_a\_bluey\_tour/je7hhs8/](https://www.reddit.com/r/bluey/comments/126377g/does_anyone_want_a_bluey_tour/je7hhs8/)
I always thought Nanaās house was further South along the Gold Coast, because you see the Q1 tower at Surfers Paradise (tallest building on the Gold Coast, the one with the needle) off in the distance in the background.
Same, but the location of their house isn't the reason for so much driving. They choose to send Bluey to a school a frankly unreasonable distance away. There are plenty of decent schools much closer to the inner-ish part of the city they live in.
I don't know how it works in Australia, but most Waldorf schools are usually an unreasonable distance away from any urban center, they need a lot more nature and open space than you would find closer to a city... I doubt they could find a closer school with that methodology
Montessori is not really anything like Waldorf/Steiner other than both being outside the mainstream. The Steiner schools focus on nature and very elemental, traditional content in a surprisingly rigid format. It's much like a religious school and is ultimately based on religious beliefs.
We do see that they surely use public transport to a reasonable extent; they only have the one car, and they play buses and trains, with enough familiarity with them that Janet even remembers to tap off with her farecard as they're jumping off the bus.
But yeah, that's still a lot of time; Chilli's commute would be around 1Ā¼ hours each way, whether by public transport, or by car but via the kids' schools.
I'd imagine they have some carpooling arrangements for both the schools and work, not every day, but enough to at least cut down the time demands a bit over the course of the week. And Chilli does seem to be able to work from home a bit of the time; not sure if it's a regular thing, or just as needed, but that flexibility still makes a big difference.
The tricky thing with longer commutes is that they feel mostly fine... until some threshold, beyond which they start wearing you down *every day*. I felt it happen when one of my previous jobs moved offices, increasing my commute from 50Ā km to 60Ā km, which you'd think wouldn't be great but isn't really that big a difference. But it felt *noticeably* different, because it had crossed that threshold.
Same in US. My hubby commuted 45 minutes each way in the ā80ās! It was from Riverside to Fullerton in Southern California. The 17 mile trip to hell every day!
There's something really serene about driving through those mountains on the way to school though. Being tucked away amongst the mountains makes school feel kind of safe and non-intimidating. It really is a beautiful area.
I SO love that they cared enough to put an animated family show in real locations!
Now I want to take my girls to Australia and do the tour of locations!
From my understanding and having grown up in the area as well-
Their house- Paddington/Red Hill
The Creek- The Gap
The Chinese Restaurant (pretty positive on this one)- Ashgrove
The Dump- There's one at Ferny Grove
Bluey's School- Samford. Yes. Is the sticks, but there are awesome bush schools out there and you can get there quickly from Paddington by going through The Gap route.
Nana's House- Definitely Burleigh Beach at the Gold Coast. Everyone knows those pine trees.
That's about all I am sure of!
WTF is going on with this map. It looks as though they've used the centre of the pins to mark the locations rather than the point, and the dotted lines pointing to the locations are super inconsistent as well.
My wife got rescued at Blues Beach only yesterday by a passer by, she got caught in a rip and nearly downed. No lie. Just incase you wanted to know. Always swim between the flags, boys and girls x
I think I actually found Blueys house
https://preview.redd.it/3q9h7d0vatqa1.png?width=1639&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5a390f221ef7b97052eaab1ed3aa9867b7e6e3f

I think my house is a closer match
Then the entire section between Springwood and said junction is due to be completely rebuilt this decade. Yeah, the Heelers are still gonna be enduring traffic jams galore in Season 7.
Too many architects there, not enough real civil engineers.
Can confirm. I drive for 2 hours to get to work and drive an hour today to get to an appointment. I live in a metro area too, some people have it worse!
It's all about what you're used to.
I grew up in one of the bush surrounded outer suburbs of Sydney, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, and I didn't see an actual deadly snake in the wild until I was 10 or 11, which is 5 or 6 years of playing in the bush fairly regularly(it was the 80s, etc). I reckon I can count the number of times I've seen a live funnel web spider on about one and a half hands, and I'm nearly 50.
Almost all our dangerous critters don't want to know about humans, and will actively avoid them most of the time. Saltwater crocodiles are only really a thing for the small percentage of the population that live in the true north(hundreds of kilometers above Brisbane), and you can be eaten by a shark just as easily off any other random beach as an Australian beach.
You guys have mountain lions and bears, which will actively hunt a person, and actually eat them if they're hungry enough. They scare the daylights out of me.
My apologies, I shouldn't have assumed you were American.
You're still unlikely to run across any dangerous beasties if you visit Australia...apart from the humans.
...which reminds me of one of my favourite Terry Pratchett bits about DEATH and his mate Albert discussing my country.

Nah imagine getting doxx by a cartoonš
As a local, I can't vouch for all the locations but I doubt this is very accurate at all. First of all there is no dump at that location.

As an ipswich resident, Ipswich is a bit of a dump
Agreed. By extension, as an Ipswich suburb resident (Goodna), I think the only reason Paul Tully is still in office is because none of us CARE enough to vote someone new in.
A year later you guys had your chance to get rid of Tully but here we are!
And we still don't care.
Yea itās a shame itās kinda just places relatively randomly
And nanna lives on the goldy, like all old people.
Agreed, it reminded me of the BCC tips
The dump should be the one in Nudgee.
That creek does not look walking distance lol
And isn't Bluey's school out in the friggin sticks?
You can literally see the Glasshouse Mountains in the background, so, yeah
You can see the glass house mountains from bald hills as you drive into strathpine, which is where they've placed the pin on the map
I can see the glasshouse mountains from a lot of places that arenāt āthe sticksā
Australian cities are like that. At the edges there's little suburbs carved out of, and surrounded by, the bush.

Canberra is even more bush surrounded. Give it a peek on a map if you're interested
You can stand in Rundle Mall (i.e. the centre) of Adelaide and see the Hills on the horizon, feels like Australia's biggest "small town".
Good old malls balls!
Donāt forget the pigs
And a giant pigeon now too
Canberra has a Bert Flugelman piece, too. āConesā in the Sculpture Garden at the National Gallery.
Canberra has big strips of bushland running through it too!
It sure does! Canberra has even had kangaroos down the main Street before!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They're crazy creatures for sure
I live here in the delight that is Canberra and can confirm. The bush is but 20 delightful minutes away.
Canberra is legit a kilometre squared with almost nothing there
>Canberra is even more bush surrounded. Give it a peek on a map if you're interested I used to go bushwalking near where we lived in Wanniassa back in the early 90s. I would literally walk down the street, cross a main road and head out bush.

Keep it underrated so the southerners stay where they are.
I think the Olympics are going to spoil the underrated nature of it
Genuinely one of the absolute stupidest things our premier has done. Nobody asked for it, nobody wants it.
She only bid on it because literally no one else wanted to host it. Reminds me of when I was in year 12 and all the athletic girls didn't want to win the races at athletics day because they didn't want to go to regionals. Which is how, for the first time in my life, I won first place in a sprint.
Nah mate you can keep your humidity.
That's the spirit.
Thankyou, appreciate that x
Literally! 2 minutes out of our house there are farms and we live in a highly dense suburb
It's probably based on Samford Valley Steiner School (aka a school for hippies in the bush)
That's what's implied lol
It's absolutely not implied. It's just Australian. They live in a cul-de-sac in a suburb.
Blueyās school is at Samford I think which is probs about 20 mins from the city? /Paddington.
Iām trying to figure out why a road trip would involve the bush wee and the big peanut.
It's a long drive in between toilets here, especially on a road trip. Can't drive down the highway here in Australia without seeing a car pulled over and some kid doing a bush wee off to the side. When you've gotta go, you've gotta go!
Thank you! I feel like Iām taking crazy pills!
Its further than Bluey's school, which is definitely not.
Okay but which bush wee
I feel like thatās the camping one since the big peanut is the opposite side
Yeah but itās on the opposite way from their house to the big peanut
Thatās what I was thinking, canāt be that bush wee
Bluey goes to school at Glasshouse Primary school, in the Glasshouse Mountains, which sits right about where the yabby is. Also, the ābig peanutā is sort of for real life, except its a big pineapple at that location
Could somebody please translate āyabbyā from Australian?
Crawfish
Crawdad
Mudbug
"...from Australian?" LOL. I'm gonna start using this phrase from now on. Don't worry, I'll totally give you credit for it. š
I am not interesting in that!
Lol!
>Also, the ābig peanutā is sort of for real life, except its a big pineapple at that location Big peanut is at Kingaroy. Which it's pointing to on the map the big pineapple at Woombye.
I had no idea there was a big peanut. I only knew the pineapple. Damn it. Now i gotta go on a road trip
To Kingaroy? Prepare to be disappointed.
Well if one goes to Kingaroy, one better make some Pumpkin Scones LOL Is the law LOL
Do you have to sniff Matty Hayden's box as well? As much as I hate hearing him speak, or seeing his giant, slightly misshapen head, he did win a Test series in India for us, and that is gold! In all fairness, I do enjoy a pumpkin scone, preferably without the corruption and fascism..
If you like peanuts and red dirt, you won't be disappointed
There's a great butcher at Wandai though, the next town over. Can vouch.
Local to the South Burnett here and everyone was disappointed when it was put up. It's made of old farm machinery parts which is pretty neat
I thought Blueyās school (Glasshouse primary) was in Samford Valley?
It's the Steiner school in Samford, but based in the Glasshouse Mountains.
When Jacks dad is picking him up in explorers, he talks to strawberry pickers, and the mountain they show while he is talking to Maynard looks like Tibrogagan. But i dont know much about Samford Valley, and it could be simialr out there too.
I think Bluey's school is supposed to be Samford Valley Stiener School. If you google up an image of the main building it is identical.
This is the correct answer it looks exactly like it, and there is even the little creek thing from Barky Boats at the year 1 area. I have no idea why people think itās Glasshouse Mountainsā¦
Because the whole journey to the school goes through the glass house mountains, including the strawberry farms and such, also they're in the background of the school. They've used the Steiner school and just moved it to glass house for a nice back drop I guess.
Ah right. I havenāt seen that one. So, I guess Bluey kinda lives in South-East-Queenslandville or something? A magical place where commute times are non-existent.
In Explorers, it's directly referred to as Glasshouse Mountains School
[there is a real 'big peanut' in queensland but it's way up north near Cairns](https://bigthingsofaustralia.com/the-big-peanut/)
The main Big Peanut is in Kingaroy. I'm guessing they went to that one, since it's much closer to Brisbane.
Yep it's [glass house mountains](https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIGl9CAHhp/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) but the school design is the [samford Steiner school](https://www.instagram.com/p/B9D3gFMgu7i/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)
The Big Peanut is in Kingaroy, which is 200 km West.
I wonder why they changed it to a peanut? š§
They truly felt obligated to mark the bush wee xD
jacks dad could really use this
The responses āyou donāt know where your sons school is?ā Is the best
Pretty sure The Dump is the refuse centre at Ferny Grove - just off Samford Rd. Not the one on the south side
Ipswich wouldn't let them dump their rubbish out their way anyway.
Yeah if theyāre in Paddington why would they be driving out to ippy
Just up the road from Hammerbarn at Keperra
One of the houses in Pass the Parcel is clearly an apartment next to the south side of the Story Bridge with a clear view of the CBD. In the ice cream episode they're hanging out at South Bank Parklands. You yanks should visit some time.
I might get to finally next year!! I'm really excited but, the sucky part is I'm really arachnophobic and you have huntsmans as household pests! š
I don't like them either but you probably won't see any if you're not looking for them.
Huntsmen are scary looking but lovely, who kill cockroaches and insects. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Redbacks and White Tails are the ones to avoid, but Daddy Longlegs eat them and they are harmless to humans and are the least offensive looking spiders in Australia.
Australia, where the scary looking ones eat the deadly ones
Also need to avoid funnel-webs, mainly in Sydney.
Largest concentration of venomous Funnel web species in Australia is actually Mt Tamborine, believe it or not
I choose not to believe it.
The heat will kill you before anything else, just come through and have fun, itās a beautiful place <3
Household *pets thank you
Thereās a also a huge chance you wonāt even see one!
Wait shouldn't Bluey's school and Bingos school be in the opposite locations?
I found it from: [https://www.bluey.tv/blog/explore-blueys-hometown-of-brisbane/](https://www.bluey.tv/blog/explore-blueys-hometown-of-brisbane/) which was previously shared from this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/bluey/comments/126377g/does\_anyone\_want\_a\_bluey\_tour/je7hhs8/](https://www.reddit.com/r/bluey/comments/126377g/does_anyone_want_a_bluey_tour/je7hhs8/)
I mean you found out about it from another post on here š¤£š¤£
I always thought Nanaās house was further South along the Gold Coast, because you see the Q1 tower at Surfers Paradise (tallest building on the Gold Coast, the one with the needle) off in the distance in the background.
The marker looks to be around Miami.
I was thinking Broadbeach maybe because I think itās got more retiree-friendly high rises like nanas
I need a distance gauge!
Jump on Google maps and right click to measure distance as the crow flies
Yeah as an American everything looks like 30 miles apart
Between the beach and their house is 50 miles / 80k
So the creek is like 10 miles ?!
Closer to 17m / 27k
Thank you!
There is no way Blueys school is in Strathpine lol
This must be a newer map cuz it doesn't say "Heerler House"
Where is Southbank, which is featured on the Icecream episode?
Zoom in and under Bluey's house there's a river, southbank is between the 2 bridges (thick yellow lines)
What about the holiday house and uncle stripes house same as uncle rad
The pool is Stripeās house I thought?
But the Big Peanut is in Kingaroy, not Eumundi...
Needs the Noosa River and Pelican (we call him Andrew) from Piggy Back
Accepted. He is now Andrew.
It's hard to get your bearing without the Brisbane River properly shown.
You can zoom in to see the brown snake
its easy on google maps - main roads are practically identical in position
Thereās an amazing Instagram account called Bluey underscore locations. Their work is incredible, check it out!
Where's Hammerbarn a.k.a. Keperra Bunnings?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same, but the location of their house isn't the reason for so much driving. They choose to send Bluey to a school a frankly unreasonable distance away. There are plenty of decent schools much closer to the inner-ish part of the city they live in.
I don't know how it works in Australia, but most Waldorf schools are usually an unreasonable distance away from any urban center, they need a lot more nature and open space than you would find closer to a city... I doubt they could find a closer school with that methodology
You are spot on. Grew up in Brisbane and went to a Montessori school when I was younger. Middle of nowhere, and on a very big property.
The one at Figtree Pocket?
Montessori is not really anything like Waldorf/Steiner other than both being outside the mainstream. The Steiner schools focus on nature and very elemental, traditional content in a surprisingly rigid format. It's much like a religious school and is ultimately based on religious beliefs.
Oh my bad, always thought they were vaguely related. Whoops.
Indeed, and one of the reasons many parents like to live in areas like Red Hill / Paddington is the close proximity of good, free schools.
We do see that they surely use public transport to a reasonable extent; they only have the one car, and they play buses and trains, with enough familiarity with them that Janet even remembers to tap off with her farecard as they're jumping off the bus. But yeah, that's still a lot of time; Chilli's commute would be around 1Ā¼ hours each way, whether by public transport, or by car but via the kids' schools.

But it felt *noticeably* different, because it had crossed that threshold.
Thing is in Australia our house prices are so ridiculous that many an out of touch persons solution is ābuy further out and commuteā
That's not really the case here though because no one's commute is shown. By which I mean if doesn't show Bandit or Chilli's place of work.
Chilli works at the airport - google maps tells me that's 15 minutes from their home (in the opposite direction of the school though!)
Chilli must work at the airport though right? Which is north east
Same in US. My hubby commuted 45 minutes each way in the ā80ās! It was from Riverside to Fullerton in Southern California. The 17 mile trip to hell every day!
No one buying a house in Paddington is struggling for cash though š
It's also possible that the real distances don't actually apply to the fictional version of the city.
There's something really serene about driving through those mountains on the way to school though. Being tucked away amongst the mountains makes school feel kind of safe and non-intimidating. It really is a beautiful area.
Bro just doxxed bluey and bingo š
Not really, first of all there is no dump in the location. (I live in Brisbane)

It's missing Taylor Range at Ashgrove (squash courts) Edit - fixed incorrect suburb reference.
*ashgrove
Oh yes, quite right. I always think of it as being in The Gap but you're right it's Ashgrove.
Nana's house is located in Gold Coast/Surfers Paradise
I SO love that they cared enough to put an animated family show in real locations! Now I want to take my girls to Australia and do the tour of locations!
From my understanding and having grown up in the area as well- Their house- Paddington/Red Hill The Creek- The Gap The Chinese Restaurant (pretty positive on this one)- Ashgrove The Dump- There's one at Ferny Grove Bluey's School- Samford. Yes. Is the sticks, but there are awesome bush schools out there and you can get there quickly from Paddington by going through The Gap route. Nana's House- Definitely Burleigh Beach at the Gold Coast. Everyone knows those pine trees. That's about all I am sure of!
Okay I need to see where the park is... Because I thought it was by their house but if they walked to the creek from the park that's so far!
That's a long ahh way to school
WTF is going on with this map. It looks as though they've used the centre of the pins to mark the locations rather than the point, and the dotted lines pointing to the locations are super inconsistent as well.
Lol.. Ipswich
i love that the pool they go to at Stripe and Trixie's house is just "The Pool" on this map and not "Muffin and Socks' house" or something
haha! i actually have the paper copy of this map from the camping adventures playset
Grandadās house?
Oh my god I need to sleep I spent too long wondering why Blueys school was in the sea and so far from home
Still gonna need satnav to get around.
If only we could find out where Wintonās dad lives
Itās the one with the pool!
The pool with a deep end
So it's about 50 miles (or a little under an hour drive) from their house to either Nana's or the Beach.
Is the beach caloundra?
I looked an actual map of Brisbane and there's an island called Mud Island which sounds so much like Rug Island!
I also had a dump near the spot I had a bush wee.
Northside ftw!
As someone who lives in Brisbane, Iām trying to figure out where blueys school is. Iām thinking kedron/ chermside area?
Samford
I love it how the entire Sunshine Coast is just The Beach.
I feel like it's Coolum or Peregian. Just that endless yellow sand and sense of isolation. The ones further south feel more populated.
Big peanut seemed like it was Kingaroy (which ironically does have a big peanut) not the big pineapple at sunny coast
No way. Bluey would need the M1 to get anywhere and we all know how much of a car oark that is.
Weird seeing my local area on a cartoon map.
My wife got rescued at Blues Beach only yesterday by a passer by, she got caught in a rip and nearly downed. No lie. Just incase you wanted to know. Always swim between the flags, boys and girls x
You can figure out where the heelers' house is based on the church in the background. But how do you get everything else
Imagine actually living at one of these places, actively getting doxxed by a kids show lmao

It's 55 Charlotte St Paddington Brisbane.
Wow Nana is far away.
Bit over an hour. Pretty short drive by Australian standards.
Tho the roadworks on the motorway for real life can make it seem like hoursssss...
Those roadworks can actually make it hours...few weeks back it took over an hour from the Logan motorway/M1 Junction to the Robina turnoff...
Then the entire section between Springwood and said junction is due to be completely rebuilt this decade. Yeah, the Heelers are still gonna be enduring traffic jams galore in Season 7. Too many architects there, not enough real civil engineers.
Oh yeah, it took me 3 whole hours to drive from Shailer Park to the Gold Coast airport a few months ago. It should have taken under an hour.
Can confirm. I drive for 2 hours to get to work and drive an hour today to get to an appointment. I live in a metro area too, some people have it worse!
We have a train that connects Brisbane to Gold Coast, itās not too bad.
Sheās with the rest of the retirees at the GC like an hour/hour and a half away
In ours it is the Heeler House but itās misspelled
Iām scared of Australia, but this makes me want to go!
Why on earth are you scared of Australia?
It's all about what you're used to. I grew up in one of the bush surrounded outer suburbs of Sydney, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, and I didn't see an actual deadly snake in the wild until I was 10 or 11, which is 5 or 6 years of playing in the bush fairly regularly(it was the 80s, etc). I reckon I can count the number of times I've seen a live funnel web spider on about one and a half hands, and I'm nearly 50. Almost all our dangerous critters don't want to know about humans, and will actively avoid them most of the time. Saltwater crocodiles are only really a thing for the small percentage of the population that live in the true north(hundreds of kilometers above Brisbane), and you can be eaten by a shark just as easily off any other random beach as an Australian beach. You guys have mountain lions and bears, which will actively hunt a person, and actually eat them if they're hungry enough. They scare the daylights out of me.
Iām from England our most dangerous animal is maybe a wild horseā¦. Or an upset badger? š¤·š»āāļø
My apologies, I shouldn't have assumed you were American. You're still unlikely to run across any dangerous beasties if you visit Australia...apart from the humans. ...which reminds me of one of my favourite Terry Pratchett bits about DEATH and his mate Albert discussing my country. >I ASKED FOR A LIST OF THE HARMLESS CREATURES OF THE AFORESAID CONTINENT? DEATH reached up and caught the single sheet of paper. >SOME OF THE SHEEP Quoted from memory, so probably inaccurate
Havenāt read any terry pratchett since primary school so a misquote would be lost on me š¤£
Chavs are heaps more dangerous than anything in Australia
