Domokun_72dpi 0 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Sheesh, you guys are bad. I work in WA for the Dept of Environment and Conservation, so I am gonna pretend i didn't read the last 4 msg's about eating wombats. (oh, and it's chicken, they taste like chicken =) Anyhow, I thought it was the Hopping Drop Bear? Some great pics of over east. I have never skii'd in Australia before, but would love to head over east one year, or maybe to New Zealand. have Ski'd in Italy once & France 2 times, but this upcoming trip to Japan will be my first. hey TJ_OZ, I am probably heading to Hakuba, so any info or hints mate will be really appreciated. keep the pics comin, they look great!

kaiser soce 0 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I once heard an interview of a guy on TripleJ that got his meat exclusively from roadkill! I reckon he woulda downed a wombat or two. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I reckon most wild meat, including wombat tastes more or less like chicken. Age it a bit and it'll taste like aged steak. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 I've eaten goannna. Roasted over an open fire. I can't see why wombat wouldn't taste OK. Spook , this is way more interesting than the Oz snow scene.. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never eaten so much steak in my life when I was in Aus. Beef is so cheap, that it doesn't cost that much more to buy that instead of the usual backpacker shite. Most backpackers are just ignorant about cooking though, thats why they'll eat pasta with peas instead of getting some meat and sauce to go with it! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 My backpacking experience was hiking and sleeping rough on rocks on Sca Fell in March. Rain, sleet, snow, name it. It was a D of E Silver expedition. I hated it and have hated anything to do with a backpack and sleeping rough ever since. Anywhere I go must be as comfortable as poss. Wouldn't mind some roasted roo though. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Originally Posted By: Mantas Do you think i would admit that here if I had? maybe you went to cuddle a cutie koala, but as you were cuddling you couldn't resist the urge to have a taste and bit into it a little too hard on the neck. Then hell, a dead koala, why waste the meat. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I actually tried to 'rescue' one on the side of the road one night. The farkin thing near scratched me to death. A cop was driving by and spotted me wrestling with this koala down in a gully and stopped to ask me what I was doing. At that point I though it was a fair question. Link to post Share on other sites
