All The Stereotypes Of Australia

[Boyd]

Love the phrase GoodOnya all run together, and every time I hear an Australian lady speak I fall in love all over again.

When I went to melbourne in 1988 as I was gettin off the plane someone said it looks like Kansas and I said no it doesn't. Loved it there and Man From Snowy River is my all time favorite movie I have always wanted to go back and do a horseback ride in the snowy mountains

The real Tasmanian devil is nothing like the cartoon character..........

I think of people very similar to Americans. You probably don't want to be lumped in with us but...LOL

What I mean is:
All sorts of different people all jumbled together.

I LOVE Aussie accents. I now think of Oz, but I'm not sure why...someone said that Oz was talking about Australia even though I distinctly remember Oz being someplace over the rainbow...

I think of people in khaki shorts though...and REALLY hot guys with white teeth.

My only experience of Aussies comes from a night I spent with a few in the Hoffbrau House in Munich Germany. But that's another story.

I think rabbits.

Far too many rabbits.

LOL. Most people say "g'day" but "Crikey" was The Crocodile Hunter's term.

No ostriches in Australia. You're thinking of Emus....

I don't know what I saw a few months back or on what channel but I was pretty sure it was an ostrich farm and the guy seemed to have an Australian accent if I remember correctly and they were riding ostriches which I thought was pretty funny. I think... it was there. But when I youtubed it all I saw were things from S. Africa. hmm? dunno. I can see the guy clear as day in my head... so I thought I'd recognize it right way and hoped it would be there but I didn't see it. oh well.

and lisa bell from byc is getting an emu and posted some funny emu vids on facebook and they were from Australia... before that I never knew that bit of information. They are silly and funny creatures as far as those videos went.

i dunno, but we have camel races

When I think of Austrailia I think of Steve Irwin (God rest his soul). I LOVED him. Between the Croc Hunter and the summer Olympics I got a little bit of Aussie education.

The bottom line is Austrailia is one of the VERY FEW foreign countries I would care to visit. It seems to me most countries absolutely HATE Americans. (In my Opinion, some with good reason) In many foreign countries I am nothing more than a target.

That said, If DH and I are ever fortunate enough to actually have a vactin?,vaaacasn?, vikeshun?, vicasion? Who am I kidding I can't even spell it let alone afford it. I would actually like to see the country I already live in.

I would like to see the grand canyon, the northern lights, I want to go to Philadephia for a cheesesteak sub, I'd like to taste Jambalaya in New Orleans.

I would like to stand next to a redwood tree.

BUT I DIGRESS..............

I see Australia as a beautiful and rugged country filled with people who are big into water sports. (remember I was educated by the summer olympics) If I ever got the opportunity to visit I'd like to go scuba diving and experience the seafood. Considering the country's location the seafood MUST be amazing. I would also like to see Steve's Zoo. Although I probably couldn't make it all the way through without crying.
