That or force-ably expatriated - there is after all a precedent.

I am happy to take over Coober Pedy

It is also worth noting that Aus is bigger than Continental USA, and there are about as many people who live in NY as Aus.

Yeah looks almost identical . what do they call them over there ?

The edjamacated call them "Horned Lizards" but most of us referred to them as "Horny Toads".

A private university in Ft. Worth, Texas called Texas Christian University (TCU) has them as a mascot but calls them "Horn Frogs".

A mid sized Harley dealer in Belton, Texas also uses them as a namesake.

The OP got me thinking about our population spread, so I went looking. Kinda similar except we have snow where you guys have sand From 2006 but nothing much has changed.

Im going to Perth in Oz around April 2016 to visit my sister, we've never been before and really
looking forward to it. I love a bit of fishing, so will be doing that whilst there and I definitely
want to see some of the outback. My missus wants to take a flight and travel to see Ayers
Rock as well.

lol Yeah we live on the edges because the rest is just basically desert . Plenty of tourists don,t realize just how harsh it is and dont prepare with enough water and venture out in a $500 pos car they have purchased for the holiday . You dont want to break down with no water in the Australian outback you wont live for long

I would like your outback as I love riding through our Death Valley.
The desert extremes force you to respect Mother Nature. Being from an area with mild climate, I am fascinated by it.
