Hahahaha...nope, called the same thing... although you could "dink a mate on the handlebars of your pushie" (have a friend sit in the handlebars of your bike and give him a ride home)0 -

No, nothing like chicken. It's red meat, with a strong taste. It kind of stinks actually, but it's ok when cooked in to things. I'm not a massive fan of it cooked as a steak
Spot on, a full Roo steak is a lot to get through, I love the kebabs...it does smell a little and it is very gamey. If you don't like steak rare/medium rare then don't bother trying it...cooking it past that the meat becomes tough as old boots.
Slow cooked is ok too.... We've made some good roo curry before

Nah, I always say "oh yeah so-and-so! Bloody top bloke, went to school with him and pashed (made out with) his sister!"2 -

Do they live in Adelaide or Perth?
We don't have hillbillies. We have bogans...but they're a bit different.
Look up Houso's or Fat Pizza on YouTube...you will see Aussie versions of hillbillies/bogans0 -

I have never heard someone speak and thought, oh you are from western australia etc
In regards to aussie accents, i actually hear that there is a real lack of regional accents, especially compared to places like the US or UK when it seems 20 metres down the road and you have a nearly different language.
Having a nomad as a father and pretty much spent time/lived in almost every State I can definitely hear the difference, and there is a distinct difference in common words for different States...ask a Victorian what a port was and they would tell you it is a bottle of plonk...having just moved from Melbourne to Brisbane before my first year of school, I cried on my first day because the teacher got angry at me because I wasn't putting my port in the port rack...I had no idea what the fukuck she was talking about!0 -

Pretty sure that if I said that to a guy here (especially on mfp) I'd get a D pic.
Hahaha... You probably don't ask anything and you still get a pics of that, but I see your point lol0 -
