I'd love to try one---Fosters is the only Aussie beer I've tried and it tasted like rancid Yak piss  (actually, I'm just guessing on that flavor)

Here's a reason that Fosters may do some good.

I also like "Waltzin Matilda"....have since I watched a movie about yacht racing called "wind" (I think that was the name)

Hmmm...I think the only place I've heard it was in the movie "Donovans Reef".

No worries mate, as long as all posters agree and it's all good fun then I don't see a problem with changing the topic of a thread slightly.

G'day,

Advance Australia Fair is the national anthem, and yes Frank it is like Edelweis....just more annoying 

Just for the trivia buffs, it was written as a poem and them the melody was added later

I am confused by this quote:

Australians are still suspicious of authority, and cynical about the pomposity and hypocrisy of the judicial and police systems.

If Australians are so suspicious of authority.... why did they ban firearms and leave themselves relying on authority for defense from criminals?
