G'day loves (yes I have decides to go back to the usage of love) walshy had the idea of this thread and I thought well why not make it into a reality.

Anything your curious about for the local people of Australia I can give ya my best in answering or anything you want to know, I have been around almost every corner of this great land either living or camping and it is truly amazing

if I cannot answer your questions I will defer you to Dramatic Geko

you made it ! w00t

okay questions, do you really like putting shrimp on the barbie? are spiders bigger than people there? how close have you been to being killed by the various animal life?

Are the spiders really that big?

1. I am a massive shrimp fan and every Christmas and Australia day I have a barbeque with my family, there is always shrimp (honestly it taste better on a Barbie unless you pan fry it in butter)

2. no, spiders are not bigger then people. the biggest spiders in the world are the size of dinner plates and not found in Australia

3. the closest I was to being killed by the local wild life was being chased by a Costal Taipan in my back yard, our wild life would usually go for you unless you disturb them or get dangerously close to them

These are huge spiders

-_- cant see them

Can you have a kangaroo as a pet like this-- actually this just seems so wrong

http://i62.tinypic.com/2nlef54.jpg

Is it true that you guys have no interest whatsoever in Foster's lager?

once again I cannot see images, not really people don't have kangaroos as official pets. mostly because they are considered a pest in the outback and around the rural areas of Australia

I met a fella in Alice Springs who had a bond with a kangaroo but it wasn't his pet. it could do small tricks and what not but apart from that it lived out bush with his herd/ pod/ what ever you call a group of roo's

no idea, that's more a personal populace question but I have seen the cans around on the streets

try Heineken, corona's, VB and XXXX

that basically the big 4 of beers

I am looking into making a sheath for my machete.

Would an Australian hug a koala bear? Even though it might scratch out their eyes?

yes and no, usually we tend to leave them alone and the fact that they don't always like to be hugged if they are not use to human contact tends to reinforce the fact

Do poisonous/venomous creatures invade private property in a regular basis?

depends on locations. generally its the spiders that do this the most as snakes tend not to.

depends on the spider- red backs prefer places like the shed or outside rather then inside where its a bit less busy.

although snakes do tend to establish them selves in the roof, especially carpet snakes

Are there any Australian sandwich shop chains? Like Subway, Blimpie's, etc? If so are they regional or nation wide? If not, where can a guy who likes sandwiches get sandwiches? Give me the deets.

whats your opinion if any on tony abbott?
what is your favourite sport? australian rules football? rugby?

I hear Australians have massive penises. How big is yours?

we do have subways and yes they are national

I like a good sandwich so I will help you out:
- don't always go to a servo, its unlikely to find a good sandwich (sanga)
- roadhouses are your best bet when on the trip to and from a state, we aussies tend to remember the best places you can get some tucker and we rarely find a round house that wont do a good sandwich
- local area wise I would recommend finding a good, well known bakery

Originally posted by walshy

I don't like him, his stance on gay marriage and child abuse misdirection's give me the shits. yes it is hard to run a country but to keep youth unemployment on the rise to 28% is just criminal. not only that but his views against boat people and asylum seekers goes against UN laws

a lot of aussies are bogan drinking asses who are ignorant of asylum seekers but a lot of us are educated and believe in a fair go(we have rednecks just the same as you guys).

personally I like contact sports and chess. AFL is good and all but our Rugby is better

hehe I can think of quite a few ways to answer this but I think I will be sensible

the average Australian size is just above the global average.

as to your question of my personal size I can honestly say (and you can chose to believe this or not) that I am above the Australian average and I haven't found myself in a situation where size hasn't been a let down

I would recommend googling this but take it from me the average is a surprising numer and the Australian average is a bit higher, not by much thou

Thanks, Gen. Now all this sandwich talk has made me hungry...

Do you have contact with the Pintupi or any of the other Aboriginal groups?

Also, what is the general opinion of Aussies regarding the Aboriginal groups?

^^^good questions.interesting!

I have a few mates from fraiser island, sherburg and the kimberlies

not the Pintupi

the general opinion can be mixed, some are rascist bastards. some are passive neither here nor there and there are accepting and do ya need a hand brother auusies like me

personally I believe in helping Aboriginies and rural communities which ABBOTT doesn't seem to care about

that sounds interesting, not that I can think of any unique drinks or snacks- when I was in newyork I went to a small theatre and the only difference was they had American candies as well as aussie

yes, last I checked we cant eat Red Kangaroos due to there lower numbers but we usually categorise roo's as a pest in the more central areas of australia

no they don't, mostly because the little bastards will bite any exposed finger they can and are a protected species nowdays

Originally posted by RanebowSmack

bells beach, Noosa, stradbroke island, Bondi (always crowded thou), Byron bay (be careful around bluesfest time) and 75 mile beach. these are the best beaches I have been to, they are varied in location but if you want a more 'local' beach location if your ever in Australia I suggest you google it

Originally posted by Nuke Nixon

yeah they are still hanging around and Peter Garret is in politics now and still trying to make a difference.

not to sure about the music, I would either google it or ask Dramatic Geko

Yes. Its where they plan to shoot all the Roo's to.

do you hate kiwis ?

Originally posted by riv6672

off the top of my head I have no idea

no we don't hate the Kiwi's, we pick on but that's it

what ever you do NEVER call a Kiwi an Aussie. they WILL kill you for it

How will they kill you?

either they will actually hit you in the torso really hard or just gaze you down to death, and these fella's are usually quite big and angry when you call them an Aussie

Ah. Was wondering if they preferred knives, guns, fists, blunt objects...

Do you have a version of the boy/girl scouts? If so do either of them sell cookies?

Where have you visited outside of Australia, what was your favorite place?

I got involved with an Australian woman here in Canada on a work exchange, several years ago. It was the best sex I ever had, and I've been pining to get involved with another one since. Are they all that aggressive and passionate? (The joke about Australia's macho culture is that the women are just as macho as the men.)

Are they? Iiiiinteresting.

What would happen if I jumped off Ayer's rock?

we do have a version but they don't really sell cookies door to door, there are sponsored girl scout cookies in supermarkets thou. they are pretty good but I cant remember the name

Originally posted by Nuke Nixon

Vietnam, America, tasmiania (inside joke), south korea,

honestly I wish I had more time in America because the foods and culture was amazing- new York

south korea was the most fun for me due to my martial arts classes I was allowed to help teach, the black smithing course I took to improve my metal work and over all just the idea that I found peace in myself the whole time I was there

funny story thou- we were in a little bar/ bath house and it was hot inside and we were drinking what was almost turpentine strength spirits. any was I took off my jumpers and what not then we heard the taxi pull up. it was 15 meters away from the house so we walked there and hopped in

I was blue by the time I walked the 15 to the taxi because it was winter and a very cold

well I have known some very strong women (both physically and emotionally) which is generally tied into our 'true blue' ideals of culture

sex wise it depends- I haven't had a massive amount of sexual partners but from what I have experienced its always been aggressive and passionate- normally because that's my biggest fetish- aggressive-

I guess it really depends on the woman, I am sure there are Canadian women who are just the same but I haven't had sex with Canadian women so I cant give a totally accurate answer. but yeah from what I have discovered a lot of girls/ women here are passionate and usually fierce

Originally posted by carthage

depends where you jump off but the end result is the same- your body would be broken before you hit the ground.
its a bloody big sandstone rock that is very steep and from what I remember just over 850 meters high

jumping off that would kill you

What are some of your favorite shops for like clothes and stuff?

clothing wise- I don't really shop for clothes unless I need to, so DFO and work place clothing stores

stuff wise- Eb games, pubs, Bunnigs warhouses, Home timber and Hardware, scrap yards, movies, school and parks

Women in Montreal are known to be easy going and will approach guys first. But here in Toronto where I live, the women have a reputation for being snobbish, stuck up and materialistic. That's why Kyla was such a blast. "You Canadians don't know how to party!" she declared to me the night we met. Because I could keep up with her, I became her Canadian fling.

I have visited Australia twice in the years since, just because of my experiences with her. If I could immigrate to anywhere else, it would be there.

they aren't as dramatized as seen in movies and what not. normally its two fella's have a punch up and some nasty collateral damage coming out.

but yeah brawls happen but its nots quite Dukes of hazard. its just a standard bar fight that gets a few fellas or ladies getting kicked out

Thats pretty much standard for the bar scene anywhere.
Your country is being unjustly accused of too frequent fisticuffing!

not quite, I said in relation to bar

me and my friends Nathan, dewa, eli and donny normally go out for a night and just smash into eachothers arms with a ine hand punch or for shits and gigs

there is a lot of punch ups and violence though both inside of schools and outside

Best Australian colleges, what are they?

in my opinion:
the University of Melbourne
the University of Canberra
the University of Queensland

I know the first two are definitely the top 2 in Australia

Neat.

Whats the most popular car make and model over there, as far as you can tell?

i have seen a shit ton of Toyota corolla's around in the last 2 years so probably that

As a cat hater i approve.
Also as a cat hater, i'm surprised i kind of feel bad for them.

Accidentally saw your so long post in the 1,000,000 post thread, Gen.
Not a good place (for me) to see that sort of thing.
I hardly ever read the posts there thoroughly, as the subject matter dont usually involve my interests, and all the jokes are inside jokes.
Still, hope you take care of things and come back soon, so we can tap your kooky Aussie mind like a keg some more, brother.
