Mwahahaha pack your stuff! :P HeWhoWas,

However, the major flaw with your overall theory of "Anyone who can live in the Death Continent of Australia has big chances of survival in a post-nuclear wasteland." is that almost nobody lives in the parts of Australia that have extreme conditions and deadly, wild animals. Why? It's not fucking safe, it's fucking impossible to live there. Most of our country is "Outback" which is, for the most part, uninhabitable, although there are a few towns out there. Majority of our population live along the east and south-east coast where there's no extreme conditions (aside from drought) and no more deadly animals than other cities around the world. That said, those that do, for some absurd reason, choose to live in the Outback could probably give that wasteland a run for it's money. Slaughter,

The guy who designed the killdozer would be a serious asset in this situation. Luckily I come from Perth WA, which is the 2nd most inhospitable state in Australia. Only NT can beat us for fucked up things trying to kill you. Man. The guy who designed the killdozer would be a serious asset in this situation.

The things that aren't trying to kill you can be summed up in some words: Some people, dogs, sheep, cats and cattle. Note the word SOME. 2º Australia's already a desertic wasteland. So, it's not much of a change to climate. Anyone who can live in the Death Continent of Australia has big chances of survival in a post-nuclear wasteland.

I have an XB Falcon V8. 33 years old. Made of steel. Not like the plastic cars you have now. According to the movies ( well Mad Max and thats the only post-apocalyptic movie that counts ) Aussie cars are the best for the waste-lands. They are also 100% safe against shark attacks. Also nothing is better to drive against the dolphins when they decide to retake the land. Tuna might be dolphin safe but my car is not. And that, is how we do it Down Under.

Not only does being in Amurricuh mean I'll have to swim to the Evil Mob camp, but I live on the far side, so I have to walk, too! Well, to hell with that. The moment society crumbles, I'm going to start a cult and make them take me there. Sure, they'll get tired of carrying my splendiferous palanquin, and they may die of starvation or thirst, but it's their fault for trusting me. When we make it to New York, I shall remake the cult, and command them to sew themselves into a grand ship so that I might be carried to our Evil Mob camp. I may not have much ammunition, but I'll come with my own emergency food/meat shields/slaves! Damnit!
