    I remember it sounding like "Shazzy" but maybe that was just the accent.

    Apart from the cities, it is all bush...great drive, just watch out for the kangaroos all over the road after sundown.

    Quality B-list actors (Kwanten, Rachel Griffiths, Byrne, LaPaglia, Simon Baker, et al) and a decent (publicly funded?) film industry.

    I went to Balmoral State High School.

    Spent many of my hs days messing around Brisbane....traveling to Gold Coast-Surfers Paradise.

    Miss it, from time to time.

    Always interesting to see what others think about the country in which you are from. Beaches and sport is common things I heard from people from overseas when talking about Australia.

    Bogans, so so so many bogans.

    Oh and Fosters is a bloody terrible beer and no one in Aus drinks it, yet when you're oversees people expect that you will want one. VB is another **** beer while I'm at it.

    When I think of Australia, I think of Cricket, Rugby, Kangaroos, Koala Bears, and beaches. I have always wanted to visit and really hope I get the opportunity to visit one day. Same with New Zealand.

    Nice pics scolaisballing. feels weird seeing a picture of an American taking a photo of a.place I ride past weekly in Australia on an American basketball site lol. IM talking about the ferris wheel in Southbank. I hope you didn't only check out beaches in nsw, best beaches are in Queensland ;) new south Wales is a hopeless state to begin with, best known for their marti gras and getting flogged every state of.origin. :cool:

    Sharon = Shazza
    Barry = Bazza
    Gary = Gazza

    Redheads are called Blue or Ranga (short for orangutan)

    Women = Sheila
    Men = Blokes
    Lies = porkie pies


    Gotta love Aussie slang!
