Aussie misconceptions

Wednesday, October 04, 2006
After meeting alot of Americans at Uni, I have several misconceptions about Australia that I'd like to clear up:
- No one drinks fosters here
- We don't talk like Steve Erwin aka the Croc Hunter (R.i.p)
- We don't carry knives into the outback desert area (I have an American housemate who actually bought big knives to take on his tour of the outback)
- Canberra is the capital of Australia, not Sydney
- No, I'm not putting another shrimp on the barbie
- The city of Melbourne is pronounced Mel-burn not Mel-bourne

However, the toilet really does flush the other way here.
