- Never trust an Australian who grins wickedly all the time... - Mark Moxon
- I love American politics. It's so much more exciting than Australian politics. Well, maybe not the Jeff Kennett days in Victoria! - WBdogs
- How weird to say that there is no sense of nationalism...just look at what happens when we win the cricket!!! - Ginnie
- .. just think soon you'll be on a month holiday in Australia shooting kangaroos, shouting CRIKEY!! And enjoying the wonders of the "outback" not to mention huge ass spiders the size of bull frogs, razor back koalas, kick boxing kangaroos, digging holes so you can go to the toilet, deserted gravel roads with no one to hear your screams if you get bitten by a snake, goanna or a scorpian.. Ahh such is the life of Australia... - Callie
- You're not mentally damaged - you're Australian! - Felicity Therese
- I still have a hard time believing people eat something that sits around fermenting for a MONTH!?! - Rene' (about Christmas Pudding)
- I think a thousand years from now, archeologists will be able to dig up a jar of vegemite from the post-apocalyptic ruins of an Aussie household and fix themselves a fine mess of toast. That sh*t is indestructible and microbiologically undigestible. - Steve J
- No way Jose'... pumpkin overkill happens WAY more in Oz than here if you ask me! When I lived there I couldn't believe how much pumpkin I was served. And it was always the same... mashed up along side potatoes. Boring! (Except this last trip I did see it on a pizza, too). - Rene'
- During a conversation with an Australian woman, Sue remarked on her electric kettle, telling her that they are not common in America. To this her Australian friend replied, "No kettles? Well how do you make your tea then?" :)) - Sue
- But now that I have the hang of things, I know that it's not a lazy attitude, but one that says they don't have to rush around like a chook with their head cut off to get things done. Work is done, but not everything is a huge run-around. Aussies have a lot of pride in their work, but it's not a life-consuming event like it is for some Americans. That's just the biggest difference I see. And quite frankly, I like it much better this way! - Isabel
- I am in Oz at the moment and I can't believe the amount of alcohol being consumed around me. - Rene'
- After the first trip to Australia I told my husband I understood why they drank so much tea, cause their coffee sucked. - Katie
- I still eat with the fork in my left hand. So few people here understand my affliction... the one my family calls Ozmerican Syndrome. - Rene'
- And the aussies have the nerve to gag when I tell 'em how I love peanut butter and jam sandwiches! HA! This beats the fried egg on pizza stuff, LOL - Susan
- After four hours drive to get to Leonora, we were in the Outback. What I really would call the Outback - coz there was nothing but us, the red gravel road, the sky, the bush. - Rebecca
- I can assure you that I will never wanna hear the "smarties" song over anything. - Wolf
- WHO was "Clancy", and what is an "Overflow??? - Susan
- My bags are packed and I'm ready to leave, but not without a heavy heart. This has been one of the happiest months in my nearly fifty years of life. I will long remember the 15 minutes of fame I have had! - WBDogs on leaving Australia
- Arming myself with helmet in case he dropped, boots on for stomping, cricket bat for hitting a six, gloves in case I had to whack him, the battle line was drawn. Grabbed the only can I had left, triple dooper strength maximum hold hair spray. Aimed and sprayed, little sucker went all stiff and fell to the ground. Best Huntsmen remover I know. - Pauline
- My husband misses sports like baseball and american football (we can't afford cable tv yet), authentic mexican food and streets being LABELLED!! - Mary
- Gosh... Kylie, Guy and that navel lint collector all on Leno in the past few weeks! All we need now is Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, Crowie and Hoges to show up! Youse really ARE a weird mob! - WBDogs
- Australians joke in perpetuity and they will practice their unique brand of dry wit on anyone, anywhere, anytime.. so beware. My message to Americans is to not be too serious when coming to Australia. - Matt
- I was so unprepared for the good-natured teasing that I'm afraid I only helped reinforce the stereotype that Americans have no sense of humour. - Mike
- My husband misses sports like baseball and american football (we can't afford cable tv yet), authentic mexican food and streets being LABELLED!! - Mary
- Does this mean that cell phones in Oz don't include tip calculators? - Rene'
