Oh Rob,
How sad that the bong bit passed you by. Such a memorable experience for a child of the 60s/70s (oh, so I've been told, of course I wouldn't know that otherwise).
So now I'm trying to figure out how old you are?
Thanks for the link - definitely puts things into perspective!

Item header in "Kens Post" today: (actually I think I do pronounce the "r" in Cairns slightly, but I'm from Sinney).
"Bonged-up Woman Exposes Herself" ............."she said she'd had about 10 bongs (of marijuana) earlier in the morning and took off her clothes as she was feeling great and didn't know naked bathing in public Lagoon was illegal" said the police prosecutor.

Not in Queensland, Rob. Other states have designated nude beaches but its still not legal here. Considering the remoteness of most beaches in Qld, this is impossible to police.
Cairns Lagoon is a huge public pool smack in the middle of town, full of kids - topless is OK, but not the full deal.

i like the subject of bong and marijuana.
I enjoyed a good pot in USA.
Could bong marijuana be found easily in Australia and if so where.
How is the quality is it goodor so so,
Is it legal to smoke in Australia or is there a minimum quantity to be able to cary legaly and what is the fine if they catch you with marijuana.

I think Zaka, there are if anything more old farts on the TT.
But to answer your question it is illegal in Australia, pretty sure in all states though some states do not register a criminal conviction against those who have personal quantity.
But in the case of being out in public, there are random police checks with sniffer dogs in use at railway stations and sports and entertainment venues, particularly at what are called the Big Day Out music concerts held around Australia.
Do not even think of bringing any in with you for it could lead to you being denied entry and put on next plane back.
So whilst it is openly used by people at private parties and in their homes, it is far from being accepted by the authorities.

I'm not so sure that I'm entirely happy at being held out as an example of old fartedness on this site but, I suppose, I'd have to admit to being closer to Old Fart than to Spring Lamb. One thing about being an OF, though. People usually get your drift quite quickly.
Thank you for rounding out my education on the bong issue. With that new word in my vocabulary, I have been trying to fit it into my conversations wherever possible today. It has been bong this, bong that, bong, bong, bong. People are starting to think that I'm bloody Skippy!
Stormbird. I'm sorry for the way in which my query has caused your thread to be diverted. Please forgive me.

Hi Rob,
At least it wasn't diverted by sheep or nieces!!!
And just because I can't help myself......
Kiwi walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and says:
"Darling, this is the pig I have sex with when you have a headache."
His girlfriend is lying in bed and replies: "I think you'll find that's
a sheep, you idiot."
Kiwi says: "I think you'll find I wasn't talking to you."

Well seeing as we're onto sexual activities
I'm not too sure but reckon you'll know you're in Australia if you go for a walk on a quiet beach and
'What's that pair doing over there? with legs akimbo and a towell for some privacy'
Yep, school holidays over, beach more than a bit windy and deserted this afternoon and they were at it I'd reckon.
No where else has beaches quite as deserted or warm enough
Amazingly it was not as though they had the beach to just them and me either!
But then the Gold Coast is even busier and possibly busier still for the cavorting, eveb seen[from a distance] without a towell!
