Bob, , in the words of the great Charlie Drake, first you got to throw it!, few tips for you in OZ, 1.When meeting the natives , you address them as, cobber, blue, digger or mate 2. dress attire, flip flops, shorts and a hat with corks hanging ( Note* if you see a women dressed in the same attire, she is called a Sheila) In any case you will see her in the local bar, where it is custom for you to arm wrestle with her and compare knife sizes. 3. Food and Drink, local beer is called Fosters, smells like beer, looks like beer, tastes like water or some other weak substance, certainly not good enough for proper poms like you, also other favorates to try are widgerie grubs and bush chestnuts , also avoid unless you like b*ll*cks 4. Visiting, A, the sea, Sharks want to eat you! B, fresh water, alligators want to eat you! C, in the bush, Snakes and spiders want to kill you D, in the city, Ozzies want Poms out! Have a great holiday mate, like to go there someday myself, kev
Thanks for that run down Kev . First time out there I was intrigued to see 'Mens Thongs' advertised all over the place. They're what we know as flip- flops. Speaking of things that kill you.....I wonder if I'll recognise Pat!.
