Second-hand bookstores in Australia (East Coast Cairns-Sydney) ?

Good heavens ! Isn't that the whole idea of travel, to meet other people and ideas ?? I've met some interesting people on by travels, but have met a few uninteresting ones as well. Have you ever been on a bus next to someone who wanted to argue that atheism was the only way to go, or a UFO believer who wanted to expound his theories? A good book serves as a good excuse not to listen. If you lack a book, of course, you can always pretend to not understand English. You can always try a foreign language and hope they don't speak it. When I was traveling in India, one of the annoyances was rickshaw drivers. There might be 40 rickshaws along a street, and no matter how many you say no to, all of the rest will try. I quickly hit upon the idea of speaking absolute gibberish, accompanied by a look of interest, and profuse gestures. Some drivers are astonishingly multilingual and the first couple tried a few on me, naturally with no success. I then increased the gibbering and gestures, and put my foot on the wheel of his rickshaw as he looked like he planned to give up and move on. After a couple of minutes I removed my foot and let him get away. The word must have quickly spread in this particular town, and of course a lot of other rickshaw drivers witnessed my antics. In any case, I was never asked again in this particular town. It doesn't work in large cities like Calcutta, though.:-) Another annoyance there was being approached several times a day by people who wanted to know if I wanted to change money on the black market, and kids trying to sell the "services" of their "sister". When first moved to Kings Cross, got a lot of approaches by the local prostitutes. The majority were actually female. However, I do remember one tourist who assumed the pro he chose was female, but when "she" stripped for him, he found that "she" was a fully equipped male prostitute. In any case, though, after a few days they recognized me as a local resident and didn't bother to offer their wares. They were friendly and often had interesting stories to tell. Tourists and immigrants should check out the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras The Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras has grown from a local gay pride event to being arguably the most spectacular gay and lesbian event in the world. ... http://www.mardigras.org.au/internal...%20gra s%2007 - 25k It does attract large crowds, though, so have to get there early. Sydney is supposed to have the largest gay population in the southern hemisphere. Sort of the equivalent of San Francisco, Calif. in the USA. Possibly a bit more swinging, though, as all Australian states have decriminalized homosexuality. From memory, Tasmania was the last state to do so. Many U.S. states had such laws until the U.S. Supreme Court declared many of them unconstitutional. Except for gun laws, Australia seems a more liberal country than the USA. This should be good news for immigrants. Not going to find those experiences in the book you're reading..... These days I'm more interested in facts than experiences, and the net is usually, but not always, a reliable source if hunt around enough. Today is Melbourne Cup day, of course, and American visitors might be amazed to see even Sydney more or less grind to a halt during the running of the race. Someone once said that if Australia was ever invaded, the first Monday in November would be a good time, especially during the actual race. In his opinion an invasion wouldn't even be noticed my many if not most Australians. Probably untrue, but still an interesting thought. Just checked today's Australian home page at http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/ Am not interested in horse races, so what caught my eye were the following stories in the business section. --------------------- Citi crisis deepens, shares drop November 06, 2007 CITIGROUP'S problems deepened overnight as it was unable to assure investors a potential $US11 billion ($A12 billion) write-down for sub-prime mortgages won't grow, and its nearly pristine credit rating was downgraded. [more at] http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...83-643,00.html --------- US mortgage losses may reach $US200bn November 06, 2007 Total losses stemming from writing down the value of mortgage-linked securities could be as high as $US200 billion ($A217 billion), with financial institutions sitting on at least $US60 billion in losses that have not yet been disclosed, JPMorgan has estimated. Banks and insurers, including Merrill Lynch, Ambac Financial Group and MBIA have reported third-quarter losses as they write down the value of securities, including collateralised debt obligations, or CDOs, backed by residential mortgages. [more at] http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...56-643,00.html Personally, I suspect we will hear a lot more about this before the crisis is over. Actually, many libraries in the USA have the Australian available, as it is a world class newspaper. The weekend edition, issued on Saturday here, contains a lot of job ads in its "Careers" section. Alternatively, check http://jobs.careerone.com.au/js.php Probably worth googling other Australian sites for info, using string careerone.com.au yields about 207,000 links career one If want a look at the whole paper, and your local library doesn't get The Australian a digital edition can be downloaded for a reasonable price. For info see: http://theaustralian.newspaperdirect...er/viewer.aspx The advice you've been given by the non-judgemental posters on this branch is good! Actually, I don't think I've ever met a totally non-judgmental human being. Everyone makes some judgments, especially in politics, religion and sex. Not to mention those who make judgments on the possible winner of today's Melbourne Cup:-) Also worth checking ABC online, our free national broadcaster. http://www.abc.net.au/default_800.htm In their "just in" breaking news section is an interesting link to a breaking story Chinese oil giant becomes world's most valuable company http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...section=justin In business news: Report reveals Australia's investment boom http://www.abc.net.au/news/business/ This site has a nice photo of the tip truck used in many open cut mine sites here, a KW Dart. Unfortunately, they don't have a human in the photo to give an idea of its size. The tires are taller than most humans. As another comparison, the tip or dump trucks used by many street departments in the US usually have 6 to 10 cubic yard capacity. The KW Dart has a capacity of 110 cubic yards from memory. In iron ore mines they don't completely fill them, of course. Iron ore with a content of a minimum 70% iron is quite heavy. "In June 2001, BHP Billiton Iron Ore ran the world's longest and heaviest train. It stretched 7.4km, had 682 ore cars, eight locomotives, a gross weight of almost 100,000 tonnes and moved 82,262 tonnes of ore.In June 2001, BHP Billiton Iron Ore ran the world's longest and heaviest train.

Mate, with all due respect, if you talk as much as you write then I definitely want to have a book handy if I end up next to you. Rest assured that I take your post in the spirit in which it was probably intended :-) Although I am pretty immune to criticism and insults, as well having had a fair amount of experience with both in my long and fruitful life. :-) Actually, your post brings up some interesting thoughts. I reckon you could be a pretty interesting bloke, so would probably try to engage you in conversation. When encounter a possibly interesting individual, I often do manage to engage them in conversation. As am a bit of a polymath, can usually find a mutually interesting subject to discuss. If we ever meet on a bus, am sure you will be gratified to know that I can talk much more than I write. My touch-typing speed is probably still around 55 WPM, and I sometimes confirm info on net lookups, or find new news which I think to be of interest. No, offhand, I don't know how many words per minute I can manage in casual conversation, but would probably be considerable higher than my typing speed. Who knows, chance and fate could bring us together on a bus, or better yet a crowded airliner sometime when you couldn't easily change seats, or get off and catch the next bus. Would a book defend you? Probably not, as I could probably spot the title and author, or read it as you read it. Even if you were a total stranger, I could probably roughly estimate your reading speed, which would give me a lead on your I.Q. If it happened to be a book I had read, then that would give me a conversational opening, as we could then discuss the book. Even if I hadn't read it, be it fact or fiction, I might open with a question relating to your enjoyment of the book. If factual, then we could discuss the contents, and why you are interested in same. I usually carry a book when traveling, though, and I might be reading a book that I had brought along. Of course, if you were reading a book on sports, or a cheap novel, I might not bother to try to start a conversation with you at all. Of course, if I had inadvertently forgotten to bring a book, and couldn't find anyone else to talk with, I would first read all the information in the seat pockets. This wouldn't take me long, though. When reading the card on aircraft evacuation procedures, I might laugh a few times or snort with disbelief. Back in the days of propeller aircraft, airliners had a big wingspan, and would actually float for a while if the pilot had to ditch it over water. Modern jets, though, don't have much of a wingspan, and rely on raw power. If they one or two of the four jet engines, they can manage on those. If they lose 3 out of 4, the stalling speed of the aircraft is probably at least 130 MPH, and if they can't maintain this, they fall out of the sky. It is possible to land on a dead calm sea, but if it is rough the aircraft will probably break up on landing, or at least not float long. I always try to get a seat near an emergency exit, though. I suppose if I was really desperate and had nothing more to read, and was reading the book you were holding I might ask why you didn't turn the pages a bit faster. :-) Followed by a suggestion that good speed reading courses were available.:-) As it is illegal to assault a fellow passenger, you might choose to convince another passenger to change seats with you, which would give me someone else to converse with. :-) Sadly, we will probably never meet. Although if you have a problem coping with my Usenet posts, I don't know if we could manage a conversation or not. Come to think of it, there might be a good market for phony external hearing aids. Then you could pointedly switch it off to discourage conversation by pretending to be profoundly deaf. As have never learned sign language, this might stymie me. I might have to exchange seats with another passenger, or waylay a flight attendant. :-) Anyway, if you had a bet on the cup, hope you backed "Efficient". " Efficient paid out at odds of 24-1 for the win and paying $7.40 for the place. Purple Moon was at $5.50 while Mahler was at 10-1. The quinella paid $76.10 and the trifecta paid $1431." http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...-31037,00.html Actually, hope you bet A$1 or more on the trifecta. $A1,431 isn't a bad return on a $1 bet. Would be pure luck, of course, but currently it might give more return than playing the stock market. :-) Regards, Kangaroo16 Cheers, Alan, Australia |

Good heavens ! Isn't that the whole idea of travel, to meet other people and ideas ?? Not going to find those experiences in the book you're reading..... Beats the heck out of annoying the passenger beside you non-stop on an 8-hour bus or train ride or flight. There are times when I found it useful to offer a free book to the person beside me. Not a bad idea, actually! However, people today don't read as widely as they did in the pre-television and pre-Internet days. You might have to provide a fairly wide selection of "books" to interest all possible readers. To provide books which would interest all possible seat mates might take up a goodly share of your luggage allowance. Still, a worthy idea, if you can't manage to get him to watch the in-flight movie. You could also make a bet with him, like who can spot the first identify the first species of bird he can spot during the flight. Or write down the name and species of the first spottable bird during the flight, to be compared near the end. If the flight attendants on the airline are female, consider writing down the "bird" species based on the flight attendant and identifying the genus as _Homo sapiens_ and the time as a few minutes after the time that you propose the bet. When you land at the destination and compare notes, you can explain the meaning of the word "bird" in Aussie slang, and hopefully collect on your bet. :-) With any luck, he might not have seen any bird, of any description at all during the flight. Wait until the aircraft is at 30,000 feet or roughly 10,000 meters before proposing the bet. This should keep him staring out the window for most of the flight. Should he spot one of the winged kind, which is pretty unlikely, you can always argue about the genus and species identification and tell him that he should have called his sighting to your attention for proper identification. :-) A shorter than normal post for me, but there is so little traffic on these two groups that spend most of my time on other groups, or even actually something more productive.:-) Cheers, Kangaroo16 Cheers, Alan, Australia |

I stand corrected!:-) Perhaps this indicates my lack of interest in racing. The only times I've bothered to watch or even listen to the Melbourne Cup were the times when got into a betting syndicate at work, where the selections are randomly drawn. I wouldn't have a clue who the favorite was. However, a lot of experienced punters got the winner wrong as well! It is almost as hard as the stock market or currency speculation. After all, if some of the major banks couldn't see they were going to get into trouble with sub-prime mortgage loans, the average investor was unlikely to see the problems coming. Seems pretty obvious in retrospect, though! Going back to the Great Depression of 1929 the markets were at record highs the day before the crash. And if you really wanted to invade this country you'd do it on Boxing Day. The entire Armed forces are on leave, so are the Police in preparation for New Year's Eve, apart from those at the MCG, and those members of the population who aren't either at the MCG or at home watching the test on TV are still sleeping off the feast from the day before. You are right, of course! Boxing day would be better than Christmas Day, actually. Although most Darwin residents weren't very prepared for Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve in 1974. From memory, reports said that only about 1 in 50 cyclones would normal present a problem, so it seems likely that most people ignored the warnings. One thing that surprised me a bit was that it took so long to get the word out. After all, Darwin had a couple of military bases and was the site of a major transmitter for Radio Australia, yet it took hours for the news to get out. Wife & I were in Sydney at the time, and from memory wasn't on the news there until around 8:30 AM. Found out later that the first one to break the news was a radio amateur who managed to get some emergency power for his short wave transmitter. For those who are unfamiliar with the damage it caused, about 70% of Darwin was destroyed. The highest wind speed recorded was 217 KPH [ almost 135 MPH] before the anemometer blew away. I had spent several weeks in Darwin decades before, so could why it did so much damage to houses. Most were built on posts about 10 feet off the ground, partly for termite protection, partly to escape the heat. Bathroom, toilet, and laundry were usually at ground level, and it was a handy place to park the car out of the sun. Some of the pictures reminded me of pictures of Hiroshima after the A-bomb. One statistic I'm not certain of is the low death toll. http://www.ntlib.nt.gov.au/tracy/adv...Met/Stats.html gives it as 65. When I was there, though, it was a popular stop for travelers going to Southeast Asia. Many choose to sleep on the beach, and I doubt that anyone would really know how many were on the beach that night. The above site says that the storm surge was "1.6 metres measured in harbour, 4 metres estimated at Casuarina Beach" In U.S. terms, 1.6 m =62.4 inches= 5.2 feet. 4 metres = 13 feet. In addition, there would have a unknown number of Aborigines from surrounding towns, most of whom who would probably also sleep on the beaches. For people sleeping above the high tide mark, a 1.6 m surge might be survivable, if sober, but most wouldn't have been. It was Christmas Eve, after all! The evacuation of the injured to major city hospitals all over Australia was handled well, as was the evacuation of women & children. From memory, one of the airliners in this evacuation set a world record for the largest number of these ever crammed aboard an airliner. Most evacuation was by air, as Darwin is a long way from any other major centre. The nearest major hospital at the time was probably Brisbane, Qld, ~ 2840 km [~1750 miles] by air. I found it very impressive that people opened their homes to these evacuees. I can't help but wonder how many Americans provided food and shelter in their homes to refugees from the New Orleans cyclone Katrina in 2005. On the other hand if you invaded during the Melbourne Cup you'd have the entire nation instantly up in arms for disturbing a national religious event. Cheers, Alan, Australia ROTFL, yeah, you are probably right about that! RBA raises rates to 6.75% Scott Murdoch | November 07, 2007 THE Reserve Bank delivered today an interest rate rise to fight inflation, as widely expected by financial markets and less than three weeks before the federal election. The official rate has been lifted by 0.25 of a percentage point to 6.75 per cent.
