Posted by masseur
well I'm stuck 'ere in Frankfurt but going home to UK on Thursday so we're gonna do something then instead.
Doesn't matter how cold it is we're having a bbq and she's making a damper to go with... and of course we've got the fosters tinnies lined up in the fridge too!

haha very aussie mass,
that was a snappy reply

Aussie day is the closest I get to home over this side of the planet, well apart from my wife and kids who are all Aussies too!
mind you, 5 weeks today I'm heading to Sydney and Townsville for a week so that will be great but then we're not going back permanantly until mid 2006
so, what are you up to? beach? party? beach party?
Posted by Davo_169
i was planning on going to the perth foreshore to watch the skyworks but my mates decided that we should all just hang out at my place and watch them from afar (i live in the hills of perth, great view). so yeah thats about it really. i havent got fosters but tooheys extra dry will suffice i think.
Posted by masseur
I won't say no to a tooheys (I feel like a tooheys or two!) but you'll never get me to swap it, or anything else, if I have a VB in my hand
I can see I'm gonna get homesick here

On an 'animal' side, I guess Australia is best known not only for it's Roos, there is this type of bear that it's also known for, is it the Koala
As the Panda for the Chinese 
!

koalas i dont think are actually bears so to speak, more marsupials (i wont bother explaining)
Posted by *Jojo*
. . . it should be called - "Koala Marsupials" - then

@anyone in Australia
Have you watched any tennis match in the Australian open? I think it would be good to bring a cam phone and seat near the tennis court and snap pictures of Lleyton (he's so cute!) and the tennis babes.

try driving around the ACT and regional NSW in autumn.
Aussie Day was spent at home with my wife watching "our Alicia" lose to Lindsay Davenport in a close contest, then watching the Hewitt kiddy get up over David Nalbandian in five.
btw - koalas are not, and have never been, bears. they are marsupials (i.e. a mammal with a pouch), and are simply called "koalas".
@mass: i see you borrowed my flag!

I worked for the first half of Aussie day, then got home, relaxed on the end of a few Bundy Rums and coke. Then finished the night off with a few XXXX Bitters.
Ahhh.. what it means to the a Queenslander

GAAHH, damn this infernal aussie stereotype
bundy and coke..mmmmm

Lets have an Aussie Stereotype convo.
For Oz Day, I had some shrimps on the barbie, I wore thongs, a singlet, and short shorts.
My pet koala and my pet kangaroo were annoying me all day for food, and a dingo ate my baby cause it was hungy.
I also dropped my cork hat into the pool and couldn't fish it out because I also have a pet Great White Shark in there.
Stereotypes suck.
mmmmm rum!

meanwhile... I was sittin' on the back porch where I have a great view over my 50,000 acre property with a million sheep grazing while watching Crocodile Dundee on the box
My wife Sheila was making sure I was kept fuelled with cold ones while she brewed up some tea in the billy
while all this was going on... Bruce, my son and named after me, was busy playing cricket with his mates while Sheila, my daughter was practicing her boomerang skills...
Posted by The_Nashy
Hahahaha.... I'm actually cracking up here. OMG.. Stereotypes are FUN!
