Most areas here look like that at the very least.Well if I was a local pirate (@ARC ) I'd be taking a short drive to AMI to do some serious cut detecting.
Oh but the batteries are old, no time,

Considering they aren't allowed to legally own anything that even looks like a weapon, that does make it difficult.

The commonwealth nations, kind of in the need of a whole new plan.
It's pretty messed up when we pay a tax on a tax for a nothing burger.
Sunny ways have certainly turned a very dark gray.

We're outnumbered now and de-armed.
The small towns like where we are and are moving to are still Aussie very much.
Huge gap between here and the cities now. Bush towns 80 to 90 % Aussie. Go to Melbourne and you'd think you were overseas. We call it spot the Aussie.
When I drove down there to pick up my Xterra from a suburb called Greenvale it was like driving into a future societal collapse movie set. I kid you not. Double story houses in a not so old build area with streets lined with trash. Dumps of rubbish being cleaned up by council workers. The road in there was mattresses dumped on the roadside, old tvs. We hadn't been there in decades and it was a shocker. It was like another country. The new suburbs they are creating are a nightmare. The backyards are so small a dog couldn't run in them and the houses are just a meter or two apart with many so close you couldn't walk between them, a gap of just several inches. People cannot live sanely that way, it creates tension and anxiety then violence. And it has.
Every suburb they have developed that way are now crime and violence hotspots.
Its seriously nuts down in Melbourne now.
You couldn't pay me to live there.
Edit. I posted some pictures with this and they vanished. Try again.

Australian Muscle Cars: What Are the Best Aussie Muscle Cars of All Time?
The term 'performance car' suggests a pretty broad church these days. On one hand, you have within that description, classic sports cars which exist for their athleticism and race-track smarts, as well as Grand Tourers which tend to feature plenty of pace as well as long legs for covering big...

The Five Most Iconic Australian Muscle Cars Ever Built
Australia's love affair with muscle cars runs deep. For decades, powerful, V8-driven machines have rolled off Australian production lines and straight into the heart of car enthusiasts nationwide.

Before today. I had a friend Joey who was in a band in the 70s. He had a Torana GTX U1. Small car but power to rate ratio was nuts. It'd chuck you back in the seat mad. Joey was a drummer. Great guy.
Another I knew owned a GT Ford Shaker. They were legendary. Not the biggest block but we knew how to screw every bit if power out of engines. Forget cubes, was final on the asphalt stuff.
Another I was friends with, I nearly brought it of him, was a Chrysler Valiant RT Charger, 6 cylinder. In its day was the fastest 2 door production car anywhere. They were crazy.
Here is one right under the radar. The Aussie Chrysler Centura. Made in cahoots with France. They were insane with the 265 engine. Unfortunately Chrysler had lost following then and was considered a fail. They were not. They hammered, I drove one that just had a little work and they left others for dead.
We here didn't rely on cubes, but what we could make them do.
And they did.
The Shaker in its day as a buy from dealer production car ruled the roost.
GT HO Shaker Super Roo.
This is also coincidental.
Today my wife and I went to finish the sign up for our new home.
Great day. Rental lady was old school accepting us who we were not what money we had.
Then introduced us the the owners. Unbelievable. Lovely humble old people who are, lets say very very well off. They were golden.
The husband invited us back to their home.
Beautiful. But, he is a classic car collector. He showed me through it all. Insane.
He had original built Aussie cars that had been in time capsules is the best I can describe. 70 yr old cars original upholstery that looked new. American cruisers from the 50s and 60s that looked like they came off of showroom floors. I didn't dare ask to take pictures as I am not stupid enough to think anyone with those would want it done. I felt privileged he showed me.
We were there for a while. It was awesome. The thing that blew us away was what they said. We welcome you to the home, its your home now. Make yourselves welcome.
Wow, we didn't expect that. Blew us away.
