One of my favourite things about being Australian on the internet is coming across comment threads on spider-related videos full of Aussies discussing their household huntsman spiders, and front-path orb weavers etc., their names, life stories, RIP messages telling of their sad demises when encountering visiting tourists or tradies

Witnessed a car crash metres infront of me today & must say I'm impressed with the actions of fellow bystanders.
I stopped my car, got out & started walking towards the woman driver of one car who as staggering out of her very smashed up small car.
But before I could get my stride, 6 other people were in-front of me attending to her & the car.
One guy had a hand-held fire extinguisher & was using it on the remains of her car's engine bay.
Four other people were helping her as she sat down, one person had a first-aid kit open on the ground next to her.
Bloody hell, well done fellow Australians, great display of mateship & immediately helping those in need in action.

After 24 years of vegetarianism, I have finally found a #MeatPie #recipe that I can easily make #vegetarian and that tastes exactly like the meat pies I used to get as a kid back in #Australia at local corner shops.
My meat eating Danish family have also finally gotten to taste a true blue, #aussie classic.
For those interested, it's the pie recipe in this video by #NatsWhatIReckon and to make it veg, I just substituted plant-based mince, veggie stock and veg worcestershire sauce:
