Can these still be traded for property?

They'll probably stiff me on delivery fees.

That's a retail law across Australia I'm fairly sure, at least it was when I worked in retail.

"The only avocado with a guaranteed 30 second ripe window to enjoy it in."

I'm in for 20 of them. Need to pay off my mortgage.

I used to work on an avocado orchid and they were super concerned about people coming onto their land and picking the fruit in bulk to sell.

Business is booming.

The black market for avocado is big, most of the worlds avocado's comes from Mexico,the state of Hass where they grow hass avocados they call it green gold and the cartels control it or make them up tribute racket money or they die hanging them in the street over bridges in busy roads so everyone can see what to to the farmers of other gangs usually they have gang wars to control the crops so anything there blood avocados like blood diamonds don't buy them from hass Mexico buy them from here in Australia, you can get good ones here on the Mid North Coast in comboyine they huge farms of avocade farms all over the Rolling hills as you need deep soil to grow avocados, you can drive past fields of avocados trees they look like woodlands and theres usually fog and if you ask privately during havesting you could help them with picking or get work experience or a short term job there for a working holiday it's nice town with surrounds and mountains parks.

Buy fucktons, sell for significantly less than they are at the shops

Avocado robin hood

No fees for Click and Collect. You also get to walk out of there with your awesome haul wearing a shit eating grin.

Doesn't apply to online purchases.

buts it lower not higher

I think your full stop and Enter keys are broken. Here’s a few for you to copy and paste for next time.

....

Just handing them out to people who are decent at the door.

no just typeing on my phone

What don't the gas companies/government that allows this, understand about the word "conservation"? What's the point of having a conservation area if companies can just help themselves, destroying the area in the process. I understand the farmers frustration.

It’s sickening. We’ve seen the side effects of coal seam gas exploitation and it’s a bloody disaster.

Why are we exploring for fossil fuels!

We should be working on grid storage and renewables.

You get fined for going 6 km over the speed limit... now nobody really knows what the number is. It's any number between 1 and 9...just depends on the day.

I mean... Don't speed, no fine? Tada.

Sucks I guess, but that's life and consequences.

Could always appeal based on clean history or whatever and try get it waived unless you're a frequent finer? Worst case, if you're strapped for cash, the review window will delay the due date while it's reviewed.

What... you got fined for **speeding**... yes that is indeed most definitely revenue raising.

Speeding = travel at a speed that is greater than the legal limit.

Doing an extra 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9 km/h is speeding. Woah, what a surprise!

I friend of mines dad used to ride motorcycles with a group of retired police officers and if they were going on a long ride they would phone ahead to police stations along their route and ask what speeding tolerances they ran to. I was talking to one of them at a BBQ one night and said to him, that's ok for you cops and he told me anyone could ring them and ask. Afew weeks later I randomly rang a station and asked the question, I was told not to be more then 7ks over the limit. I rang another and was told 3ks.

Whether I appeal or not still revenue raising. I'm sure you moan about plenty of other things...

Section 10 ?

This sort of attitude is why shit perennially sucks in NSW.

Whether it's strip searches or draconian traffic laws.

What does don't speed mean to you? Are you always exactly on the speed limit? This is my first demerit in 30 years. This is clearly revenue raising...

Brilliant reply. Well done!

You could argue appealing reduces the revenue raised by increasing the cost of the enforcement, and is sticking it to the man whether you succeed or not, if that helps.

Strip searches yes, traffic laws debatable.

LNP is why shit perennially sucks in NSW.

6km over is definitely over. I think you have to accept that you are human and we all make mistakes.

You could try to appeal based on it being a first offence. Still, it's happened and you need to accept that either way.

Wishing you all the best.

In a school zone, doing 46 not 40 could mean a hurt kid when you take longer to stop.

I'm not Saint, I just don't moan when it goes south.

Good news if you haven't had a demerit in thirty years, you might legit succeed in an appeal. Check out how to lodge on the RNSW website.

I mean if you’ve been driving for 30yr and having trouble with the speed limit then a refresher course wouldn’t be a bad thing. I think NRMA does one fairly cheap.

I got done for a school zone when I drove out of a lane so I saw no signage, and I got done at 2:31 going 44.

Sage advice

Legitimately worth noting how many rules have changed in that time and how many open licence holders likely would fail the DKT if they had to resit it. One of the reasons we have aged driver testing alongside medicals - to ensure fitness to retain a licence.

Ooof.

My first thought was a Lyrebird imitating some man made sound, just an uneducated guess really.

Yowie or Bunyip.

A friend of mine (reflection on GoPro) was stuck in the forest near Comboyne during the storm last Thursday. He put his GoPro out to record the storm, but after it was over he went to retrieve the GoPro. First he heard a branch snap (not shown in video), then he heard a scream. That’s when he went back inside and thought better of collecting the GoPro ‘til morning.

When he told us about it, I thought it might be an owl, but after listening to it, it doesn’t sound like an owl or any other animal we can think of. Any ideas?

Edit: The general consensus seems to be a lyrebird. u/fungochutney came up with that almost as soon as I posted and many of you agree. u/hemansteve has come up with a very plausible explanation, being a lyrebird imitating a motorcycle accelerating. This sounds like it might be right on the money.

Thank you everyone for trying to solve it, and thank you for the laughs along the way, I had a lot of fun reading some of the comments. Gotta love redditors

Do you mean the cicada noises or the T-Rex near the end?

Green Spotted Catbird.

Here's a link to the Green Spotted Catbird call: [https://youtu.be/X4sYp-qM2Lg](https://youtu.be/X4sYp-qM2Lg)

Reddit wouldn't let me edit this link into my previous comment. They're common in the rainforests in that area.

I don't think the recording does very good justice? Is there somewhere you could uploaded it from the source instead?

It sounds like a compressed video game sound effect lol

Master chiefs shield reloading nearby. Be careful, probably a few grunts around.

Gotta be a lyrebird imitating an alarm. Im pretty sure they are the only bird that can make this like.. [computery](https://youtu.be/AwxvjrbEkTg) kinda noise

Bird ID on facebook will be able to help I am sure.

Yowie!

Is that Harley from epic meal time?

I agree with the others who said it was a lyrebird. They make some crazy sounds, worth a YouTube if you’re bored.

That’s a bunyip!!!

I was going to say cicadas at first, however after hearing the noise I did think lyrebird. After looking at the comments I see I’m far from the only one of that opinion

Lyrebird imitating a Toyota Hybrid?

[removed]

Considering the video starts with a truck accelerating, it’s possible the lyrebird is imitating an accelerating sports motorbike

That’s something we never thought of. Great thinking! Do lyrebirds call at night?

Lol. Drop bear perhaps? Thanks for the giggle u/JimmahMca. Hey, you never know…

Lol the T-Rex at the end. I think you nailed it, he >did< say it was loud. I’ll let him know it’s been solved 🤣.

There is a frog croaking near the start, but it’s pretty quiet. I dunno, maybe Trexy was hunting it?? Sorry, I just woke up, my banter is off. Thanks u/Enceladus89, you made me giggle.

I just went on a half hour tour of youtube looking at all sorts of glider calls, it was worth it. Thank you for nudging me there. I didn’t find anything that sounded like the clip though.

With that said, your description is pretty much how our mate described it. He reckoned it scared the pants off him too, he didn’t dare come out until morning.

I’d never heard their call until that youtube tour so you would know better than me. I’m gonna keep looking at YouTube vids (they’re so cute hehe).

It’s so sad you don’t have a population near you anymore, those bushfires were devastating. I hope they make a comeback.

I can see why they called it a CATbird. The last part of the call almost sounds like the clip. I wonder… Thanks Tac0321, I appreciate you jumping in, and cheers for the link too. Great detective work.

You’re right, it’s not the original source, I recorded it on my phone while the GoPro was playing, the original hasn’t been taken from my friend’s GoPro to laptop yet.

He says that he thought the same thing about the sound, but his car was broken down in the bush and he had no other electronics such as movies or games playing. He swears it is an animal, but he doesn’t know what. When he heard it in person, he thought it was a bird. When he described it to me I thought maybe an owl, but after hearing it I don’t think it’s an owl.

He leaves again tomorrow morning, but if I get the download from the GoPro I’ll upload it.

Sorry u/Parking_Cucumber_184, I just woke up and my brain is trying to decipher what you said. What did I miss?

Wow, that was an interesting clip. I’ve never heard a lyrebird (that I know of), I knew they were good at mimicking, but wow, that was spot on mimicry, I never knew they were THAT good. Thanks for the link, that’s just gotta be it. Makes you wonder how often they hear a game or something out in the bush, but I can’t think of anything else it might be.

I’m not on Facebook, my friend is though, I’ll pass along your suggestion. It’s a good idea, thank you.

Hehe yup!

Not sure that I know that one.

[removed]

Ha! I knew it!!!

It does sound kind of “whiny” doesn’t it? I can see the way you’re thinking. I’m thinking it’s probably a lyrebird too. Thanks for pitching in to try solving it :)

That’s two people that have thought of that. I’m really wondering if that could’ve been it now.

Ooh. I didn’t even think of that. It makes a lot of sense since it was in the forest next to a rest stop. I thought that was a frog at the start of the clip lol.

Yeah, I think you might be spot on. Brilliant thinking Steve!!

Wow cool.
