| Miscellaneous Australian Interest Sites The following websites are those that didn't seem to fit in any of the other categories, but that doesn't mean they are any less worthy of looking at. Some informative, some general interest, and others amusing. Check them out.

- SchoolFriends.com.au - This is a great website! Here you can input your school information which gets databased, and matched with others who have or will register also. I have already found two people who I went to highschool with in South Australia.
- The Toxic Custard Guide to Australia - This is one of my personal favourites. The Toxic Custard Guide to Australia is a MUST see. For all those times you've been asked a really dumb question about Australia, here is a veritable arsenal of smart-arse retorts. This guy is a hoot!
- Driving in America - A hilarious take on driving in America, written by an Australian, Henry Griggs.
- 'Strine' Decoded! - Have you ever had a difficult time trying to explain some Aussie slang, phrase, or term to an American? Well here is a dictionary of "Strine" terms, and their meanings. Really worth a look and a laugh.
- Aussie Slang - Similar to the above, but focuses on Aussie slang, instead of rhyming slang. There are a heap of Aussie slang words here that I didn't even know. This website is also an Australian information site, if you follow some of the links.
- Aria Charts - Keep up to date on what is happening in the Australian music industry. You can also check out the weekly ARIA music charts.
- Ultimate Aussie Music List - Also known as Chart Central. If you want to find out anything about any Australian music artist, this is the place to go.
- Chow Down - Down Under - This is a fabulous website put together by an Aussie who has spent some time living in the U.S.A. She has collected and added her own and other's Australian recipes to end up with a treasure trove of Aussie cuisine.
- Australian Beers - This website is dedicated to Australian beer, and everything that goes along with that particular recreation. Not only can you find out everything you wanted to know about Australian beer, but it has other great sections such as Australian People, Australian Pubs, Australian History, and much more. It's definitely worth a couple of hours browsing, :))
- Australians Online - Australians Online is a growing network of commercial free websites where Australians can build online communities by story telling and information sharing. This is a pretty interesting website where you can read stories, poems, articles by other Australians (even in your own region) as well as being able to submit your own. Really worth a browse.
- Top Aussies - I'm not quite sure what to say about this website - except that it has some very funny, and very Australian stuff on it. From a list of Australian Pubs, to the unofficial VB website, to the Ute Appreciation Site of Australia, and lots in between. And don't forget to read the Top Aussies page ... it's a good laugh. Thanks Cindy!
- Close up on Australia - This is just a part of a website written by an American who loves to travel. She's spent quite a bit of travel time in Australia and New Zealand, and if you're interested in an American's impressions of Australia, this is a good read. :)
- CNNNN Video - Want some Australian ABC satire and irreverant humour at its best? Prepare to spend a few hours at this website. :)
- Convict Creations - This is one of the funnier and more interesting websites on Australia that I've seen for quite some time. It has all sorts of little facts and trivia about Australian culture and really worth an hour or two of your time.
