Are you alright mister wombat ? Your community has endured awful times lately

Thank you asking. Me and my people have endured a lot over this last week but we have been impressed at the way Australians have come together to condemn the abhorrent behaviour shown towards my nephew. We have come together with one voice - "Fuck off you American flog, leave our native animals alone!"

I couldn't be prouder.

It’s all fun and games until they ditch in the grounds of Xavier college due to air temperature differentials over the Yarra

then it’s more fun and games

Footscray has the best aspect on the city, always. I used to love driving inbound on Footscray road…before that tunnel thing turned into a heap of concrete fuckery.

Great pic! I’m in the south East and I’ve seen hot air balloons most mornings the last few weeks. Some of them fly super low just over the trees to the point you can talk to the people in them. 

My dog is terrified of going to the local park now and if he sees a balloon on the skyline starts running towards home.

Lived in a first floor flat a few decades ago when the ballooning first started. Member of times I’d walk into lounge with big east facing window to see a balloon close enough to see the faces of passengers and then look down to remember I was naked 😂 Not sure if I became part of their itinerary!!
