Thread: Here's some Australia questions:

I to have always wanted to visit your beautiful country. I have never been outside the Americas, so it would be really cool to visit some other places. I have several on the list so far. I wan to backpack through the Britain. My family migrated over only four generations ago. I also want to visit Japan at some point. I love their culture and history. And then of course Australia. I have been fascinated with Australia ever since I was a little kid. I'm not sure why, but I have. I have the drive, I just need the money now haha.

O-o-o-o-h-h....talk about a fart in a submarine, my ears just popped!

Hey...that's the APPEAL of the Aussies! They've all still got a little of the 'outlaw' blood in them - keeps them from getting boring, like the rest of us!

-whatever

Some southerners come from similar origins -- I believe Georgia was originally a penal colony. Hell maybe Britain looks at all of America as originally a penal colony. But it's alright by me ----

Mark, while I can't argue with that,and yes we do have a very special lifestyle, we are an awful long way away from anywhere else, and I would live in the UK within a heartbeat if I had the chance. For me you are the centre of the Universe.

"Ashes"



And what makes us unique?
When it comes to humour NOTHING IS SACRED! We'll take the piss outa bloody well anything... and I DO mean ANYTHING. We're a fairly laid back mob untill someone steps on our toes then it's all in!

Mateship is important to us. You ALWAYS stick by your mates.

How tough are Aussie men?

The scene is set, a dark night, cold wind blowing, campfire flickering, stars twinkling in the dark sky. Three hang-glider pilots sitting by the campfire, one from Australia, one from South Ifrika and one from New Zulland, each embroiled in the bravado for which they are famous.

The night of tales begins...

Kiven the Kiwi says, "I must be the meanest, toughest, heng glider there es. "Why, jist the other day I linded in a field and scared a crocodeale, who came out of the swamp and ate sex min who were standen close by. I grebbed the crocodeale and wristled him to du ground and killed em with my beer hends"

Ilan from South Ifrica who typically can't stand to be bettered said: "Well you guys, I lended orfter a 200 mile flight in my heng glider on a tiny trail, and a Namibian snike slid out from under a rock and made a move on me. I grebbed de borsted with me bare hinds and beet it's head off ind then sucked the poison from it's body down in one gulp. End I'm still here today"

Terry, the Aussie remained silent, slowly poking the fire with his
penis.
