Take a tour of the Blue Mountains if you are starting in Sydney. Don't be afraid to get on a red old person day trip tour bus. They take you around to all the big places you'd want to see for about $30. Coffee is European standards coffee there....blows Starbux away. No free refills on drinks. NASCAR races still shown but not til about 4 am their time but live. With Jetlag that's about when you'll be waking up for the first two days. Take a boat ride through the harbor that takes you around the Sydney Opera house.

Take a tour of some of the sports stadiums during the day. Don't order Jack Daniels its $50/bottle over there so a drink will set you back. Go ahead and start saying, 'no worries' and bring me back a bottle of vegemite....one of the world's best sources of Vitamin B and tastes awesome.

mush is right. hit the blue mountains. trains to katoomba are cheap and if you're feeling adventurous head on up to newnes... it's an abandoned coal mining town in the middle of millions of hectares of the wollemi wilderness. population three.

melbourne is overrated if you ask me, but almost everyone i know prefers it to anywhere else in the country. head up to the gold coast if you're looking for a party. surf n' sun backpackers in surfers paradise is a winner if you're looking for a fun place to stay. and btw... stay the fug out of hotels. stay in hostels. it's a whole subculture around the world that most americans never even sniff. you dont know what you're missing until you try it.

have fun!

Thanks for the advice guys...except MrT.

It is a work trip but I'll be there for a couple weeks so I will have a couple days off. I'm going to try and do as much as I can while I'm there and not working. All of this sounds really fun.

I don't think I'm going to make it to Melbourne though, maybe next time.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
