Australia Day - 2021

 


TIPS TO SURVIVING AUSTRALIA (Copied from a Facebook post that I found)

  • Don't ever put your hand down a hole for any reason - WHATSOEVER. 
  • The beer is stronger than you think, regardless of how strong you think it is.
  • Always carry a stick. 
  • Air-conditioning is imperative. 
  • Do not attempt to use Australian slang unless you are a trained linguist and extremely good in a fist fight. 
  • Wear thick socks. 
  • Take good maps. 
  • Stopping to ask directions only works when there are people nearby. 
  • If you leave the urban areas, carry several litres of water with you at all times, or you will die. And don't forget a stick. 
  • Even in the most embellished stories told by Australians, there is always a core of truth that it is unwise to ignore.

HOW TO IDENTIFY AUSTRALIANS

  • They pronounce Melbourne as "Mel-bin". 
  • They think it makes perfect sense to decorate highways with large fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep. 
  • They think "Woolloomooloo" is a perfectly reasonable name for a place, that "Wagga Wagga" can be abbreviated to "Wagga", but "Woy Woy" can't be called "Woy". 
  • Their hamburgers will contain beetroot. Apparently it's a must-have. How else do you get a stain on your shirt? 
  • They don't think it's summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle. 
  • They believe that all train timetables are works of fiction. 
  • And they all carry a stick.
  • This is our Great Southern Land. 
  • Walk alone, like a primitive man and make it work.
