(I don't know if these are true or not, but they are worth a look for a laugh)
These questions about Australia were posted on an Australian Toursim Website and obviously the answers came from a fellow Aussie.

19. Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I
forget its name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)

There must be something about Swedes - I remember a case in the Torres Straits (Thursday Island) where Swedish backpackers wanted to know how much a one way trip to the Barrier Reef would cost. The boat operator diplomatically enquired as to how they expected to get back - to which they replied that they intended walking down the reef to Cairns, camping along the way on coral attols.
When I was in the US many years ago, these people were asking me about Australia. One of them asked about the bushfires.
I told them we love bushfires, and she asked why. I told her that after a fire goes through people run around picking up burnt koalas, emus, kangaroos, etc and eat them as they have alreadt been cooked.
They believed me.
I also got a slap across the face when one woman asked if we said the "F" word in Australia. I said yeah and we also say the "C" word.
Ken Oath im having trouble reading your POST with that nice ass wiggling around in your avatar oh baby yeah. You got the rest of that vid lying around.
hey ken that address didnt work for me, is it right?
cheers
