A tongue in cheek look at our way of life.

Anyone want to add their own slice?

Feel free.

First up.

A brief history of "The Great Southern Land".

Native Australians (Aborigines) entered the continent from Southeast Asia more than fifty thousand years ago.

(Backpackers and babies beware)

Some got lost and ended up in Canberra.

Everyone else settled throughout the country and remained isolated from the rest of the world until the first European explorers,the Dutch, arrived in the 17th century.

The Dutch did not settle.It was all too hard.

The "Geckos" scared the Womenfolk.

But in 1770 Britain's captain Cook

explored the East coast and in 1788 the first British settlement was established.

They came,they saw,they concreted.

Not bad for a bunch of convicts.

The federal capital was established in Canberra in 1927.
It erupted in controversy however in 1975 when our Man.

Elected for the people,by the people,was dismissed by the founding member of the "Doug Anthony Allstars"

A few "Tryhards" then entered politics but had to revert back to convict status.

Politics aside:
Australia is a prosperous country that for a time rode on the sheep's back by exporting wool.

Unlike New Zealand,we had a better use for it.

Another big export is wine and Aussies love their piss.(Especially "Shassa" and "Darline" whilst on holidays).

We can write a bit too.

But sporting prowess is what really drives the nation these days.

Legends aplenty.

There's big HOPPA

The AFL has a few.

Golf now provides incentives for the girls.

And after the "Game" when the thirst hits.

A word of warning for the overseas traveller.

If you like a bit of a sip then beware of "Outback" pubs.

Now not that there is anything wrong with this but the locals may not take kindly to

And they are as subtle as a sledgehammer when it's time to pay the bill.

So there you have it.

A brief heads up on the lowdown.

Nice effort matey. Thats the type of commitment to this board we need, the type of grit and determination that could sink 54 beers with Boony on the aeroplane flight.
