Happy New Year, Aussies!
Happy New Year to Infomaniac's Australian Bitches!

Because you live in the future and celebrate New Year's Eve before we do.

To Our Australian Friends
To Princess, Damien, Ute and all our Australian friends in the path of the flood waters.
Keep us posted, if you can.
Our thoughts are with you.
p.s. Hip waders are almost as unfashionable as Crocs. Unless you look like Ava Gardner…

Planet Oz
This posting is dedicated to Infomaniac’s Australian readers.
It appears that this is Australia Week in our blogging circle as both Dinah and T-Bird have posted about Australia too.
And now it’s Infomaniac’s turn.
Laugh as I expose my limited knowledge of The Land Down Under to you.
I know little of this great nation. I’ve never visited Australia nor do I have friends or relatives there.
Here then for your entertainment is everything Infomaniac knows about Australia in a nutshell.
You dress funny...
Cork hat
Your music has a sound all its own…
Didgeridoo
Carrot panpipes and flutes
Your foods are both salty…
Vegemite
And sweet..
Tim Tams: "two and a half inches has never been so satisfying"
And your culinary customs are most peculiar…
Tim Tam Slam
You have your own beer…
Foster’s Beer
Which inevitably leads you to engage in beer-related activities…
Darwin Beer Can Regatta
You’re a nation of sportsmen…
Tunarama in Port Lincoln … men and women compete to see who can throw a frozen 8-10 kilogram tuna the farthest.
Camel races in Alice Springs
Cockroach races in Brisbane
A land of unique and fascinating flora…
Baobab tree
And fauna…
Platypus
Tasmanian Devil
Bilby
Bilbies have their own Appreciation Society
And geological marvels…
Stromatolites
Your towns have names that make us titter…
Like Iron Knob and Tittybong.
Your Christmas occurs in Summer!…
You’re an inventive people…
Boomerang
You have an artist who paints with his penis…
Pricasso (Tim Patch)
Canada has the Sasquatch. You have the Yowie…
Statue of a Yowie
AND a man in search of the Yowie…
Tim the Yowie Man
Your films are delightful…
Your telly tickles me…
Dame Edna
Kath and Kim
You have your own unique literature…
Australian Bush poetry
And you have a way with words…
Yobbo = loudmouth; someone uncouth
Billabong = waterhole
Grog = plonk; cheap liquor or wine
Dunny = outhouse
(And so many more… fill me in on these for I am but a simple Canuck.)
Your legal system is to be commended…
It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday.
And finally…
Australia is in the future…
Sydney and Brisbane, for example, are 17 hours ahead of me!
So there you have it. The sum total of Infomaniac’s knowledge about Australia.
Can you add more? What do you know about Australia?
Go on. Enlighten me, bitches.
Note: Infomaniac will not be updating until Thursday.
