Only in Australia

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Bored? Here’s 100 ace things you can only do Down Under.

Have beetroot on your burger
Plus bacon, egg, pineapple and anything else Seppos would be too scared to scoff on a sesame seed bun.

Play golf at Iron Knob
Where the fairways are red earth and the greens are oil-slicked sand.

Streak during a one-dayer at the MCG
Just because you’re a shithouse sportsman, doesn’t mean you can’t perform on the national stage.

Climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge
We suggest sneaking up it at night to save the $189 they slug you for. But if you get caught, we don’t know you.

Have a beer at Marble Bar
And piss off the WA locals at the hottest town in Australia by constantly saying, "How about this weather!"

Compete in the Nude Olympics
Good luck in the three-legged race at SA’s Maslin Beach.

Enjoy a Chiko Roll
And say a silent thanks to Frank McEnroe, the Bendigo boilermaker who unveiled the creation in 1951.

Eat leftover brewers’ yeast for breakfast
And call anyone who doesn’t dig Vegemite un-Australian.

Visit the world’s largest coral system
Just do it soon, because with global warming the Great Barrier Reef could be the Not-So-Great Bleached Coral Dead Zone in a decade.

Check out Australia Zoo
Say crikey to “What About” Bob for us.

Have a punt at the Birdsville Races
Just sort out your transport home first. At 1600km west of Brisbane, it’s a long way from anywhere.

Get towelled in a tent
Rock up at Fred Brophy’s boxing tent in outback Queensland and have the shit smacked out of you.

Roll on up and see Aussie women at their best! They get drunk, aggressive and expect the men to pay their way (Not that that is unheard of or unique). Even better sit back and let them also try to con you into buying their friends drinks as well. And to really cap it off, ask them to shout the next round to the cries of "You selfish male pig!", "You are ugly, go away!", "You make me sick, you men are all the same!" and the all time classic "If you wan't something, you have to pay for it." Even better they have declared a Brisbane(and Melbourne) man drought because they cannot get enough blokes to buy them drinks. As for criticism, well crikey, as the local women say "You must be gay to say something like that!"

I agree with 22g from earth - you're trying to be american!

the St Helens naked gift (real prize money) St Helens on the east coast of Tasmania, haha Tasmania, traditionally holds the last summer carnival in the basslink sports carnival association of tasmania summer series, but dont let the carnivals tie you up. Being the last carnival of the series it is the downing of many a brew at the rowdy local pub, The Bayside, afterward that is the main attraction. once everyone gets *** and midnight rolls around, the crowd spills out onto the beach where the naked gift takes place. Previous winners include Richmonds own Jack Riewoldt

You know this is just like saying you can only go up the eifel tower in Paris. Well dirr. I was expecting something fun and exciting and lets face it you can get vegemite all over the world (I know coz I have), you can climb a bridge anywhere in the world and look over some pretty amasing sites.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!!!!

Copy everything American (except eating tar-like goop originating from the bottom of a beer barrell for breakfast), from clothing, sayings, movies, television programs, music, hairstyles (dreadlocks and cornrows are direct African and African American hairstyles....hello???), even idiot politicians, and then say with absolute smugness "Only In America" about something American that they DON'T like
