Now, nobody's saying that Aum Shinrikyo also conducted a nuclear bomb test at Banjawarn Station, but there was a loud noise in late May 1993, and there was a bright flash at the same time, and there is mineable uranium in exactly the same area, and the cult's psychotic leader was completely and utterly obsessed with building a nuclear bomb.
The thing about Australian sheep and cattle stations is that they're really, really big – this one, Banjawarn Station, is just under half a million hectares – and they're a really, really long way away from everything else.
Ah Mr secret life Jimmy, the big dog, if you will. I have a theory that the blue dye may be coming from someone, there is another world in which a dead man bled blue, or rather his ghost did. Check up on anyone with lasting scars.
i really dislike how people view your behavior/feelings toward dogs as like. a litmus test of your inherent goodness or whatever. if you dont like dogs you’re Odd. if you dont try to pet random dogs thats Strange. if you dont try to rescue stray dogs thats Heartless. if you kill a dying dog instead of making it suffer thats Cruel. if you like dogs youre Correct. if you see a dog and want to pet it you are Normal. if you see a stray and try to take it to the vet or adopt it you are Kind. if you force an animal with shit quality of life to survive because your feelings are more important to you, you are Good.
Newspapers gushed over the "indefatigable exertions" of the Commandant and his men:
Where but a year since the shepherds dare scarcely leave their huts, and every person went about armed for fear of the blacks, all is now as quiet and settled as in the districts that have been occupied these twenty years, and it is now very uncommon to meet a person armed when when he is travelling from station to station.
Much of the success that has attended the experiment in this district is doubtless to be attributed to the personal character of the commandant, FREDERICK WALKER, Esq.
