    Not at all. Not sure if it is because I have grown up with it or whether it just isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Whenever I hear of someone getting bit or hurt by a native animal it always seems to because the person did something stupid i.e. Swim in a water hole in the outback that has a sign that says "Crocodiles beware"

    Have you ever eaten at an Outback Steakhouse ?
    Is Steve Erwin really dead or just hiding out with Andy Kaufman ?
    Do Aussies follow American Football or Baseball ?
    When the toilet flushes, does the water swirl the opposite way of northern toilets ?
    What ever happened to Elle McPherson ?
    Vegamite is really just a practical joke, right? Nobody actually eats that goo, right?
    Why do you hate New Zealanders ?

    No, and if you have eaten at outback steakhouse then I'm sorry to say you haven't eaten anything remotely Australian.

    Mate, he is certainly dead. Top bloke, used to live in the same town as his old man a few years ago and he would come into the shops when he visited him. Would have all the time in the world for anyone.

    Football yes, a lot of Aussies call it Gridiron, Baseball not so much, we have a national competition but not popular...we love our cricket mate!

    Nope total BS but water down the drain does.

    She is still around and still super hot! Just got divorced recently. She has been calling regularly but, you know, been there done that haha

    Love Vegemite! Perfect spread thinly on warm toast that is lathered in butter! Mmmmm I might actually have some shortly.

    Hahahaha personally I love New Zealanders (especially poly women mmm

    Do you have a hard time understanding the accents of English speaking people from other countries? If so what ones?

    I lived in Liverpool in England for 2 years and when I first got there I was invited to a business meeting as a key note speaker. I was the last time speak and I was sitting there drinking a beer when the guy at the podium stopped speaking and looked at me, as did the people in the audience. Apparently he had just introduced me and invited me up to deliver my speech. Embarrassed, I got up and said "Sorry about the delay, but I have been sitting here for a good hour and haven't understood a single word anyone has said!" Lol....

    The Irish..when you are speaking to them directly everything is easily understood, sit with a group of them that are drinking and chatting... No Chance!

    Scottish I don't have an issue with at all...Americans, no problems... most other accents, South African etc... No real problems except for some local slang... Oh and the difference in meaning for the same word from country to country can be hilarious.

    A lot of great music and movies, on the music scene there are so many awesome local bands now and in the past that didn't hit internationally...same with some movies.

    Sydney Opera House? Many, many times... Circular Quay on a Sunday afternoon, lot's of open air bars and live music...just awesome! To the right is the opera house and to the left the old coat hanger the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Unbelievably beautiful!

    Have you guys figured out how to bowl over-arm yet :D

    Hey if your cricket players learnt to read and picked up the rule book, you could have easily hit that 6! Anyways...if we bowled it oversensitive it would have been the first 6 you had ever hit as a nation, so... unlikely.

    If your flag is blue and red, why are your olympic colors green and yellow?

    "Australian" colours are green and gold. No idea why.... Maybe to differentiate us from the rest of the blue, white and red?

    ETA - according to google, green and gold are the colours of our national floral emblem, the wattle.
