What the first thing you think of when you hear 'Australia'?
I think of Australia's shape in the color orange, then I think of boomerangs then the Sydney Opera house, then the desert, then dingos, then The Sniper.
No kangaroos.

"The Sniper. "The Tom Berenger movie? Well, it was filmed in Queensland I suppose. "
Home? I spose.
Internet Filtering, NO R18+, Sub-Standard internet, Not finding a game in MW2 (Although, that is becoming a worldwide concern with glitching matches)
Overpriced video games. Horribly late releases. I heard you guys have it rough when it comes to that.

EB Games is the culprit for overpriced games in Aus. Standard price for a new game is AUD$120.00 but if you give them the finger and go to any dept store (BIg W, K Mart) and you can get it for about $40 less. Late releases are becoming less of a problem this generation though, although when they occasionally happen we get zero explanation which is annoying. Like Saw: The Game came out here 2 weeks ago. Not that I wanted it, but what the hell?
g'day mate!!! Take a look at this roo!!! Oh take a look at this little bugga, alright now I'm gonna shove my thumb in it's but hole!!!
"Maybe the dingo ate your baby. THAT is what I think of. "
Wow. You're the second person to say that. That incident happened like, 30 years ago. Was the Meryl Streep movie a massive blockbuster overseas or something? Ask an Australian kid under the age of 20 about the 'dingo ate my baby' and they wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about. Weird.

May be the same with people calling us "limies" although I could easily be wrong."Maybe the dingo ate your baby. THAT is what I think of. "Wow. You're the second person to say that.

"How much Foster's Lager sucks. Seriously. Though I can live with Vegemite. "
Foster's is alright, although hardly any Australian drinks it. It's definitely not the worst beverage out there. But I'm impressed about the Vegemite. 99% of people who try Vegemite for the first time pile it on like cream cheese and then scream "Jesus, my taste buds!" when they swallow massive overwhelming amounts of it. The key to Vegemite is to spread it thin.
Skip to 2:00." @AltonBrown said:
That's okay, nobody in Australia drinks it either." How much Foster's Lager sucks. Seriously. Though I can live with Vegemite. "
@Rayfield: Ha! You beat me to it. "
After that...I don't know, um, Farscape, Peter Jackson, Men at Work, kiwi fruits, Sydney Opera House, Xena, the movie "Australia", the movie "Quigley Down Under", Yahoo Serious, and toilets with backwards flowing drains. That kind of stuff.
