not an aussie but...
 

my dad was there a lot in wwII , got kangaroo skins, a bull whip,and a kowalla "teddy bear",and and aussie wwwII hat... and I buy wicked weasel suits for my old lady.....I'm there in spirit!!!...love ya all,bobby :icare:

Koalas are funny things.

They make lots of noise when they're shaggen, it's rather bizarre. :)

If I were an animal, I'd be a koala, cause it'd be mad to just sleep all day. :)

They sleep 22 hours a day, but eating gumleaves... fuck that.

the whole notion of sleeping 22hrs a day sounds fucking spectacular at the moment.. mmm sleep.

why is a wombat like a man?
it eats roots & leaves

i think Wicked Weasel is a great Australian product.

i suggest we all commit to promoting their products as often as possible.i believe that Koala's have the smallest brain size to body size ratio of all mammals/marsupials.

guess they don't need to think much when they're sleeping 22hrs a day.

uder koalas in dictonary it says eats, roots and leaves :P

kiwis own koalas

Is it true that koalas explode when the bushfires come through 'cos the eucalyptus makes them flammable?

I nearly fell off my chair when I read that.

You're terrible. ;)

Yup! And make sure you put vegemite on your shoulders when you're walking in the bush, too!

:p

Who walks through the bush? Everyone knows we ride in kangaroo's pouches to go where we want to go.

Nah, eucalyptus just gives them wind - that's what goes off!

nah, thats the Drop Bears...

(too much Bundy Rum in their veins...)

I just wanted to keep the pattern going...

The wombat (or man) doesn't leave until he's done rootin'.

So he eats, roots, shoots, and leaves.

Are you an Aussie abroad then, platypus?

Nope, but I've been married to one for almost 14 years now.

I feel that living with her for so long and often visiting my ocker outlaws on the Gold Coast has tweaked my brain.
I now tend to have a bit of a "No worries, mate. Have another beer." outlook on life.
For that, I am grateful.

What a beautiful outlook it is to have ;)

Agreed. An Aussie influence can be a wonderful thing.

"They sleep 22 hours a day, but eating gumleaves... fuck that."

I heard somewhere it's actually got a similar effect to pot on them (someone fill me in here). Which would be amusing, but that's probably just a reason someone made up to explain why they act so stoned :p

The kids and I went to Australia Zoo the other weekend (home of Steve Irwin for you overseas dudes) and I got to cuddle a koala. Aside from the fact that he was incredibly cute, he was incredibly docile and had incredibly sharp claws.
