Lawyers Killing Aussie B and S Balls
Although I've never been to a Bachelor and Spinster ball in the Australian Outback, they sound like a lot of fun. Too much fun, apparently, to survive our modern litigious times. Money quote:
The Outback's Bachelor and Spinster Balls, one of Australia's most cherished traditions and notorious for binge drinking, casual sex and dust, are at risk of dying out.
An exodus of youngsters from the bush, five years of drought, stricter alcohol laws and high insurance costs have brought about the end of many events, which are typically held in dusty paddocks near remote towns.
"B and S" balls - regulars insist that the initials stand for beer and sex - are a magnet for young stockmen, shearers and the jackaroos and jillaroos who work at sheep or cattle farms. They are a rare opportunity to meet members of the opposite sex.
What the heck is a jillaroo?

Roger,
Jackeroo and Jilleroo
went to the B&S
To relieve a little tension,
Jilleroo went down,
To give Jackeroo crown,
The rest I shall not mention.
