Tasmania Australia :
Tasmania's main island was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples for up to 40,000 years before British colonization. The island was permanently settled by Europeans in 1803 as a penal settlement of the British Empire.
The Black War was a period of violent conflict between British colonists & Aboriginal Tasmanians in Tasmania from the mid-1820s to 1832. The conflict, fought largely as a guerrilla war by both sides, claimed the lives of 600 to 900 Aboriginal people & more than 200 British colonists.
The Port Arthur massacre was a mass shooting that occurred on 28 April 1996 at Port Arthur, a tourist town in the Australian state of Tasmania. The perpetrator, Martin Bryant, killed 35 people & wounded 23 others, the worst massacre in modern Australian history. The attack led to fundamental changes in Australia's gun laws.
(Prior to this / before this happened )
After quitting a national gun summit in 1987, 8 years before the massacre & following 2 mass shootings in Melbourne earlier in 1995, Premier of New South Wales Barrie Unsworth said: "it will take a massacre in Tasmania before we get gun reform in Australia", referencing Tasmania's resistance to gun law changes. A redesign of the laws for all states & territories of Australia had been prepared by officers & presented at a meeting of police ministers in Launceston in 1995. It had been rejected by Tasmania.

The Canadian cartoon chilly beach which use to air
On CBC in the early to mid 2000s, was about a small town located on a large iceberg, presumably in the Canadian Arctic. The iceberg is seemingly a floating island that can move around in the water. There are some trees and wildlife as well as a mountain with caves. According to at least 1 episode, the island is located in northwestern Hudson Bay, placing it in Nunavut.

checkers/rally's
checkers/rally's - Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. is a chain of double drive-thru restaurants in the United States. The company operates Checkers and Rally's restaurants in 28 states, and the District of Columbia. They specialize in hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, and milkshakes.
Way better than McDonald's imo but on par with
Burger king & wendy's.
Originally separate companies serving different geographic areas (with Checkers serving the Southeast and Rally's serving the Midwest), Checkers and Rally's merged in August 1999.
the Checkers name remains used in the Southeast as well as the Northeast while the Rally's name remains used in the Midwest as well as California; the two brands have overlap in several areas. Kinda like how burger king in Australia
Is called Hungry Jack's.
Personally I recommend the Big Buford or Baconzilla
Burgers.... be prepared for grease as they have greasy food.
Also their garlic parmesan chicken wings and they are open
Until late hours like 1 am - 3am .
