Iconic Australian destination for tourists now permanently closed .

You're speaking Australian again.

I had to look up what a cattle station is. You mean a ranch.

The current largest Australian cattle ranch is about 7 times large than the largest US ranch. It is only the size of Israel. But it is located in Australia where property values are much lower.

Anna Creek Station is only 9,140 square miles (it is something more in square kilometers). Texas is 268,581 square miles (29 times larger). Australia is 2,967,892 miles (2,942,282 square miles with the water removed). So to be true your "cattle station the size of Texas" would have to be 1/11th of Australia.

List of the largest stations in Australia - Wikipedia
There is apparently some dispute about the size of Anna Creek Station. There are two different sizes given. This either means that Australians are really shitty surveyors, or the 9,400 square miles includes leased land.

Further in 2007 it only had 1500 cattle. That is one cow for every 6 square miles.

The King Ranch has over 23,000 head (more than twice the current number on the Australian ranch) and at times has branded 25,000 head. It probably has more than 23,000 asses as well.

Ummm Why are we getting into a pissing contest about whose D%$k is biggest here CB?
Are we not talking about Aboriginal Territory, I used the example I did because Australia can be very big, and the whole significance of that was the desolation and the need for Aboriginals to travel long distances on walkabout.
Thus giving the impression of being Nomadic, as compared to having large claims of land that take a long time to get from one waterhole to the next.
Have you ever been here? Of course there are not many cows per square mile in some places, what are they going to eat? Sand?

Here is a happy snap from near the top of ULURU



And some of the desert areas where you may find a cattle station

The Yanks are just jealous as they lost what we still got.. miles of open land with nothing in it.
Pissing contests apart I love where I live.

 

[August]

Bet they haven't got this .

 

[Dundee]

Bet they haven't got this .

Oh August, I love the Aussie desert, I have camped in it, walked in it, hitched in it, driven in it, worked in it. But my god Tasmania is heaven on earth. you shouldn't post anymore photos of your beautiful paradise.

1. It make me cry with jealousy.
2. Some....people might find it and be your neighbor, you wouldn't
want that

So to all you Yanks, you don't want to come here!!!!
Tasmania is just shit, August just photo shopped it

Such movement is considered problematic for mainstream health care and housing programs.

Discussing anything with Australians is just a riot.

You guys do so many odd things I'm getting perversely fond of you.

Plus you guys got to be tough. With some of the worlds most dangerous spiders and snakes you have had only 1 spider death in 38 years.

You do have a snake death about 4 months or so. That isn't as bad as the US (5 per year). And our snakes are pretty safe by comparison.

Seriously

Seriously CB, why did you come here. Just to be a prick wherever possible.

We already have to many ex pat Queenslanders buying up the place thanks. But with no jobs here and snow at the start of summer they usually pack up and go back home to bananaland pretty quick. Yankee doodles are welcome here just so long as they go home after. This is what Tasmania really looks like .

Here is an idea, why not start a thread with the following theme..

Why everything is so much better in the US than anywhere else,
And going by some of your and your mates past posts, some suggested thread rules...

1. No Blacks
2. No Arabs
3. No progressives
4. No Clinton Lovers
5. No Oztralians
6. No Stupid peaceful people who don't want to shoot everyone.
7. Actually, one rule to cover all. No people who disagree with anything CB says.

Then you can go to town enjoying your perception that you and everything in your country is better than everyone else.

Australia has bigger beer stubbies than the Yankee doodles. Try this one a Darwin stubby 2 litres of beer.
Go good on your next croc hunt.
