united colors of hoonage...ton
There is apparently a Seat of Hoon Government. We've generally thought of hoonage as a rather anarchic pastime, but authorities in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia have named the municpality the Hoon Capital. Much like Sacramento and San Francisco, Bendigo came to prominence as a Gold Rush town in the latter part of the 19th Century. In 1994, Bendigo merged with the Borough of Eaglehawk, the Shires of Strathfieldsaye, Huntly, Marong and later the Shire of McIvor to form the City of Greater Bendigo, whose mass suburbia — coupled with Australian can-do spirit — created conditions ripe for a governmental center of Hoonage; a place to champion the donut, celebrate the flying leap and fight back against those who oppose the glory of the burnout. We are hoons. Bendigo is now our Mecca.
