that statue is very threatening. Certainly looks skilled at the sharp stick and knife murdering. Which is to say that's freaking awesome.
if you love that then you definitely need to come to NZ bro. Lots of Māori art and carving displayed publicly. This one is just a short stroll down the road from my place in the local huharua reserve. Each symbol tells a story.
Hey OzPiper,
I’m in Cowra, moved up from Western Sydney 10 years ago and am grateful everyday for it. Anyway.. so not far from Orange, and I wish could be more help but I’m not familiar at all with pubs in Orange. That said I hope you find one, and knowing how people are out here I don’t think you will have trouble..
Most likely outdoors I guess though.. I hope we don’t have the winds we had last weekend ?
(My avatar pic is taken at the top of the hill, at the Cowra Japanese Gardens, now I have smoked a H.Upmann Corona major there once).
Brendan,
My wife and I had a most enjoyable driving trip through central NSW some years ago including a couple of days in Cowra. I really enjoyed strolling through the beautiful Cowra Japanese Gardens (comemorating the Japanese POWS who were interned at Cowra during WWll, a number of whom were killed trying to escape). My wife was most impressed by the lovely rose garden in the middle of the town.

You ever see a Kiwi Haka ?
I have nightmares of being licked to death by those huge tongues ?
Jokes aside, they are scarily big guys
Have I heard of it. If I ever need to get out of danger I know how to use it. The things when I do it nothing scary but it is pants pissingly hilarious.
From across the ditch, yeah I would love NZ parliament at the moment 
I’ll just leave it at that
Also, a big thank you to everybody who took the time to post their greetings, very welcoming.
Looking forward to getting my most recent purchase in the mail this week, I’m a pretty simple smoker, usually one or two blends at the most, will have a tin of Peterson’s Irish Whiskey to enjoy soon out of my Peterson Dalkey 106; my main pipe.
My other pipe, also Peterson XL302 p lip in that great translucent green finish, was a gift my older brother picked out at the actual Peterson’s HQ around 10 years ago and is my main Latakia/Oriental pipe.
Thinking it’s time to stretch out a little and add to both collections after reading that
Cheers everybody !

Thanks.
Just reminded me, I have distant family somewhere in São Paulo, my Dad’s Aunty moved there after WW2 and only found each other about 15 years ago.
Small world.
She is Polish if anybody was wondering... ?

A lot of people emigrated to Brazil from after WW2 (just as many did to Australia) so São Paulo is a pretty cosmopolitan city.
Yup; small world. In the past I've bumped into friends from back home in various parts of the world!
Nice to have you here. I'm in Northern California, just north of San Francisco. I did live in North Turramurra, close to Sydney back in the early 70's!
Thanks!
I used to work at Dural years ago and would frequently do deliveries all throughout that area, I could only imagine how good it would have been to live there back when there was next to no traffic/not so densely populated etc.
Just looked up today’s median house price out of curiosity..
$1,923,500 ..??
