Early settlers in South Australia were alleged to have eaten the breast meat of crows, parrots and cockatoos when there was a shortage of red meat. The term croweater entered the lexicon in the late 1800s.

Lived in Adelaide my whole life but been a Cats supporter before the Crows existed. Good showdown so far.

Always been the source of jokes with Sydney, Melbourne etc. No joke now! No lockdown. Best Wine, food and craft beer in Australia and people can still afford to buy a house.

For Me anything beyond what we call our beer glass size was never a joke. I'm Tasmanian who lived in Vic for 8 years and now country nsw for over 10 years. I heard it all 2 head a south Australian who can swim etc. The sooner we all get our head out of backside and realise that we one country and we need each other we might get somewhere. What gets me is shut a state border to people then when it looks good again say we need your tourism. plenty happy enough to throw them out again just as quick if something has happened where they from.

it won't be long again SA will have something happen or if keep shutting ppl off no one will go there may as well be East Berlin or was it West? lol

Yep agree you're in regional NSW so prob in a good spot with the shit going on. Don't wanna get into politics but our state gov will lock down at the drop of a hat. Stay where you are and enjoy.
