I expect most will centre around our wildlife.

"No thank you, I've had enough alcohol for one day."

Fictional, but MAN that'd be weird.

This has to be said. Australian women have the sexiest accent on the whole planet. They can say anything on TV and I'm well let's say I'm in a state of excitement.

What if they said 'Adrian Paul is a smelly pancake-eater and bad actor'? Would that still be sexy?

That would depend on what they meant by smelly pancake-eater.;)

That'd be like calling your kid sister for some phone sex. In other words wrong as hell.

I don't know, that near-incest vibe sort of works for me.

Given that half my friends are Australian (on account of living in Indonesia for years), I can't single out specific events of Australian weirdness.

Or well, here's one: the fact that apparently it's proper form to refer to AC/DC as "Acca Dacca" remains impressively screwed up to date.

It's not AC/DC I've got issues with, it's what you call them!

What's wrong with 'Acca Dacca'? We call our mates from Scotland 'Macca', work is 'Yakka', and our dickheads 'Wackers'. Nothing wrong there! :D

And a 'Brothel' doesn't mean what you think it might mean....well it means that too, but we like to confuse tourists.

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Along came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he set that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?".

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?".

Up jumped the swagman, leapt into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?"

That swagman was our first Prime Minister.

A great man, but a terrible thieving bastard at times.

See, and here I was thinking about visiting Oz with my Sheila Kris and visiting you two after my residency was over, but now ... I'm not so sure!

Maybe I'll just settle for pouring whipped cream on my hair instead.
