The man was met by local authorities on arrival and has been slapped with a no-fly ban on all Qantas planes.

        My wife thought we were “in the country” when she moved in.

        I can see a hospital from my front door.

        If shit hit the fan, we are definitely not “in the country” enough to not have to worry about it immediately.

        Heck, if it’s zombies, we will be dealing with them before they take over the world, since they’d be wandering away from hospitals in search of flesh.

        If it’s bombs, we live too close to secondary and tertiary targets to be unaffected, especially if there are storms blowing fallout up to us.

        I guess there isn’t much point to my comment beyond “make sure you go really far out to where you can’t see city glows on the horizon at night.”

          The nearest gas station to me closed so it’s about 20 mins if I want to spend money somewhere. There are more maintained snowmobile trails here than maintained roads.

    I was betting on Florida Man as the culprit from just the headline, but the linguistic content made it obvious that this was a deeply Australian man
