so, while in Brantano's (a UK footwear retailer) earlier today i found the most epic boots ever for just £46!! (which i will be buying when i get paid next friday, for now i just needed smart black shoes for work and until friday i cant spare the money for a second set).

also, no photos unfortunatly but Banbury Market is just a huge heap of suprises. The Hatman (yes, i have dubbed him that, as all he sells on a huge market stall are hats) has got a range of Australian Bush Hats in, including one similar to this:

Australia! Can't believe I never even thought of Australian steampunk before...could be interesting...

I wish I had a hat...and boots...or anything, really...all I have is some Victorian patterns...and a song stuck in my head about Cthulhu...I guess it could be worse.

But yes! Money! I pray for your speedy compensation!

haha well i think of australian steampunk as being more a cross between the sort of "crocodile dundee" characters and the pirates and stuff (cos of the originaly convicts that were shipped there from the british colonies)

This makes me think of Quigley Down Under (a movie about an American cowboy in Australia).

I haven't heard much about Australian steampunk, but it could be pretty dang awesome. Instead of Native American influences, there could be Aboriginal influences, which means more bones from questionable sources. wink

I think I might know that song about Cthulhu...

Oddly, those would easily even fit into a western theme.
