Hello padraic .. I live just down the road and around the bend from Adelaide ... Went to my first Skeptics meet there a couple of weeks ago. Interesting bunch of people who meet informally in a pub (forget the name, but can find out) .. You might want to look them up, if you haven't already .. ?

You flatter yourself. I find you mildly annoying,but I've never thought of you as a cunt.

I shit you not. Now available on video. I haven't seen it,subject matter does not appeal.

Perhaps the scariest Aussie film in recent years is "Wolf Creek",allegedly based on true events.

See trailer on link below

Wolf Creek is a 2005 independent Australian horror film written, co-produced and directed by Greg McLean. The story revolves around three backpackers (played by Nathan Phillips, Kestie Morassi and Cassandra Magrath) who find themselves held captive by a serial killer (John Jarratt) in the Australian outback. The film was marketed as being "based on true events".

Wolf Creek premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2005.[1] The Australian premiere was in March 2005 in Adelaide.[1] The film was later screened at the Cannes Film Festival the following May.[1] It was released in cinemas across Ireland and the United Kingdom in September 2005.[1] In its home country of Australia, the film received a general release in November 2005, apart from the Northern Territory, due to the trial surrounding the murder of British traveller Peter Falconio.[2][3] It was released on 25 December 2005 in the United States.

The film was nominated for seven Australian Film Institute awards, including Best Director. In 2010, it was included in Slant Magazine's list of the 100 best films of the decade.[4]

Didn't know there was one.


Umm, where exactly is 'just down the road and round the bend"? That could easily be Aussie understatement for Melbourne.

I did fly to Pirie a few times to visit a girl friend. The things a bloke will do for a root when he's young and horny. Or old and horny for that matter---my last girlfriend lived in Townsville

The Skeptics are in Adelaide.

Wolf Creek ... the most viscerally affecting film I've seen ... head on a stick ... I know there are others, but it's not a genre I usually watch. I don't regret watching this one, though .. plenty to think and talk about afterwards.

I frequently visit South Australia on holidays - the Coonawarra, the Barossa, Clare Valley, the limestone coast, Kangaroo Island, the Flinders Ranges, Port Lincoln...

Anywhere, in fact, except Adelaide...
