C'est excellent... J'ai encore du boulot avant d'etre fully aussie!!!
C'est quoi au juste un toilet dolly?

Tom, c'est formidable!
Et, je suis certain que il y a des autres!
Comme...."You're not a real Australian till you've been asked "how are you going" dozens of times a day and you learn to reply "Not bad"

And as for the Toilet Dolly....I've only ever seen one in my life, strangely.
My mother in law did make it herself. A little crocheted doll with a rather wide woollen dress, into which is pushed the spare roll of toilet paper, and then the doll hangs on the back of the toilet door.
Je vais pense de les autres choses pour cette 'topic'!
Merci Tom

Mille souhaits
Kate

Merci Kate!!!
Je n'ai encore jamais vu de toilet doll mais au moins, maintenant, je sais ce que c'est!!!

A bientot

Celine

And then of course, you can't go anywhere out in the countryside or fishing for the day without an esky (traditional Oz cooling container) full of beer & BBQ & picnic supplies....or you've tried to evade a Police Breathaliser patrol by hiding or trying to make a turnoff before you reach the 'point of no return' and you're cornered on the highway.
