10 Ways to be a Better Aussie Bloke

Thursday, February 4, 2010
It's the true blue to-do list for every fella with green and gold in his veins and a meat pie in his gob

Trek Kokoda
If you find the 96km track through the PNG jungle tough, imagine trekking it while some soldier's shooting at you.

Learn all of “Advance Australia Fair”
Because we win heaps of stuff on the sporting field, we all know the first verse about "girt by sea". But you know there are four more, right? Look ’em up.

Drive around Australia
It’s a rite of passage and guaranteed to get you an addiction to bad servo food and an intimate knowledge of obscure places like Burrumbuttock, Mt Buggery, Poowong, Tittybong and Yorkey’s Knob.

Surf Shipstern’s Bluff
If you’ve never surfed before, at least your family can say, “He had a go at Oz’s gnarliest break. And died.” This hard-to-reach swell off South-East Tassie is now legendary on the world surfing map.

Support an Aussie team overseas
There are few things more satisfying than watching a team wearing the green and gold win silverware in a foreign land. Unless they’re South Africa.

Grow a mo’ for Movember
It’s a charity fundraiser we can get behind. No running anywhere, no reading books, all it all asks of us is to stop shaving for a month.

Drink beer from a small brewery
Support the champion little guys taking on the faceless marketing monoliths – places like Fremantle’s Sail and Anchor, Melbourne’s Mountain Goat, Sydney’s Red Oak or South Aussie’s Barossa Brewing Company.

Kill something feral
Pig, fox, rabbit, goat... buffalo. Australia is full of ferals that shouldn’t be here. It’s our duty to kill it and eat it.

Buy a car made in Australia
Do your country a favour - while you still can.

Visit one of Australia’s “Big” things
Collect the whole set, from the Big Stubby (Larrimah, NT) to the Big Mosquito (Hexham, NSW), Big Avocado (Duranbah, NSW), Big Merino (Goulburn, NSW), Big Galah (Kimba, SA), Big Gumboot (Tully, Qld) and the Big Guitar (Tamworth, NSW). Plan your trip at www.bigthings.com.au.
