how bad is the dropbear problem in Australia?



And why did Melbourne steal the Grand Prix race from Adelaide.

Formula one was better in Adelaide.

Why don't YOU! You are, of course, on the wrong side of the earth.

So is Foster's really Australian for Beer??


Australia has a wide variety of good, quality beers that does not include Fosters. Cascade, for example, is roughly ten times more enjoyable than Fosters. tongue

What is renowned as an Australian delicacy? (For food, of course.)


Well, as Tyi said, Lamingtons are up there. JGOC also mentioned Vegemite - something which I love. It's great, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a delicacy. . . oh, and Pavlova is my personal favourite. Go look it up. A delicious dish. grin

We've learnt to avoid them by riding kangaroos to our various engagements.

Melbourne did not steal the Grand Prix. Jeff Kennet stole the Grand Prix. You can have it back if you want, I hate it.

I have no idea. When I find out I'll let you know.

I found a list of the previous games tally. Australia had 82 gold, 62 silver, 63 bronze with 207 total.

Given the home advantage, I'm going to say that this time, Australia will get:

90 gold, 72 silver, 70 bronze with a total of 232 medals.

I have never endorsed the swill that is sold here in America tongue I have a very discriminating palette because I grew up on German beer. Canadian beer isn't bad either...
