Devil's Island


Me and the missus are talking about moving to Tasmania. That would be good. Can’t get more to the ass end of the bus than that. Also house prices are ½ of what they are in this blot on the map. My meager salary will get me 5 acres by the sea with a 4 bed house. You even get snow in winter, imagine that, proper seasons. It’s an island off the coast of Australia which is an island off the coast of The Rest Of The World. It contains about 1 million people in an area about the size of Nevada..or Boston..one of those. It’s mass is greater than 5 Titanics and it’s volume goes all the way to twenty. It’s favorite colour is an annoying shade of brown and it likes early progressive rock as much as the next landmass. They do not sell shoe-laces singly in Tasmania. Not anymore.

They have the oldest tree in the world there.

I've heard V8 racer Marcos Ambrose say the Tasmania is Australia's redneck haven. No wonder he seems to like his new home in North Carolina.

Tasmania is more analogous to Newfoundland, in Canada. Under the American model I'd say "hillbilly" would be more acurate than "redneck"
