The thing to do when in Australia is to give the peace sign.... It's the equivalent of a hug... but only when you do it backwards. With your palm facing you.


... so remember when you visit Australia, give peace signs to everyone you meet - especially police officers and skinheads.

^ and call big tough guys "poofters"

poofter means homosexual, but it's a funnier way of saying it.
now say "poof-tah"

it's not really the peace sign. it's "piss off". it's a british thing too.

Mmmmm Vegimite! And no, don' listen to any of the silly people on here, they're just a buncha joshers. You can't go wrong with a peace sign. Like if someone hold a door for you... peace sign. Someone gives you directions... peace sign. Etc. Etc.

ok. if you want to impress folks, give them a "g'day mate" to start off with. try to do it in an australian accent.
when someone says something/does something you agree with, say "yeah, good on ya mate"
when you say goodbye, say "hoo-roo"

and that's a good start

new town is a suburb of sydney, and it's a kinda bohemian place, a lot of artists and such, if i'm not mistaken.

everyone else makes fun of tasmanians, so you might as well. :(

Those bloody bludgers!! They should forget about all those ideas and get a real job that involves meat pies for lunch. You think they know what they're missing out on?

Wouldn't have a clue by the look of them :p
