So the brachiosaurus right at the start of the Jurassic World exhibition scared the boys, but they were fine with the raptor and the scary part with the T.rex at the end. I think they were surprised to see dinosaurs to start with and then got into it

That's the coolest thing 😊

and it's good to be a bit scared of the natural world, I think that feeling of danger in everyday life is something that modern humans has lost

anyone know of a place that delivers bulka bags of landscaping supplies in melbs? Lots in NSW, doesn't seem to be a vic thing, frustratingly.

Bulleen Art and Garden used to (not bags, but will deliver with a truck. You buy how many sq m you need, they scoop it from bulk area and deliver it to you). Not sure if they still do it, haven’t been there in a while.

I definitely used it back in 2019, I hope they still do now as it was one of their big selling points. Had a whole heap delivered to sharehouse driveway and carted it to the back to engage in extensive planting. (Man, those were the days when I used to do so much more...)

Nah, can get a truck easily, it's specifically the bags we're after.

I think Bunnings co-ordinates (???) delivery of 1m square bags of stuff. From an outside supplier I think. Certainly mulch, but might do other stuff too. Is that the sort of fing you are thinking of?

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yah, like the gorilla bags. Hmmmm....

Still, Bunnings ....

I watched American Primeval again and it's a brutal unforgiving show, much like what real life on the frontier was like

audience reaction has been interesting, so many people, men, dislike the main female lead , they are even angry at her

and now I see it's because they blame her for the male lead getting killed

people are strange

Has Colesworth stopped selling the banana lollies?
