Humping Bluey - carrying a swag

A great Uncle, originally from the Barossa , South Australia, then Broken Hill. I found this article when doing my ancestory and the conversation of Bluey reminded me of it!!

 

edited to say, someone answered your question!

In Cockney plumbers jargon,it means carrying a load of lead pipe.

I believe the cruise ships stop at the international terminal on the way into the OPT

Badgery's Creek, is that far from the new port at Botany Bay?

A quick $80 cab ride will almost get you there.

I was just imagining a cruise that ended at a cruise port at Botany bay and an international flight at Badgery's creek!!

Might need a another sticky for that one in 2026 haha!!

Yep, it wouldn't have been the best planning of the trip.

Always wanted red hair. I live in perpetual envy of rangas.

There are dye packs that can help.

Mrs Gut was once very red, now it has faded to a dark brown with white, spread among it.

A million lifetimes ago I did try that but as a natural blonde it came out fluro orange.  Looked a fright and this was my last foray into such adornments.

You only tip once on the ship and don't try and tip the ABF.

Wouldn't be any slower than from White Bay (or OPT for that matter).

I am your closest human to a moderator and also have red hair 🤡

 

However I do not moderate and just let you all run wild. AU/NZ Cruisers is a uniquely rogue self-governing entity. To put an Australian in charge does not always work out in the public's favour.... I will make no further political comments! 😉 

 

Please click Report Post for our Community Team (in the US) to take care of specific posts. 

You can also email help@cruisecritic.com for assistance.

I will make the request for a Pinned Post.

 

We do have a new article (to be published next week) which will eventually rank on Google and answer the question, instead of people ending up here because it gets asked here so often. There is also a great invention called Google Maps, providing directions worldwide since 2005.

 

Thanks everyone for helping the newbies -- except for this thread's unhelpful fake directions which will make things worse. Don't make me appoint a moderator and spoil all your fun!
