[@StealthMaestroSharpe]

I think one of our better qualities in Australia are we can laugh at each other and ourselves when we do something dumb and hurt ourselves, and we don’t get all whiny and indignant about it. A lot of other countries seem to be like “oh don’t laugh what if they got hurt? Or don’t laugh at me you’re a jerk!”. But for the most part if people are able to get back up we know it’s all ok and in good fun to take the piss out of them after a bad stack

Typical Australia is gathering around the old fashioned Hills Hoist Clothesline in the backyard with Wine bags tied to each outside corner and playing Goon of Fortune (after old TV show called Wheel of Fortune). Everyone gathers around the hoist and gives it a spin, whoever the 4 corners stop at have to reach up to the plug and pour 1-3 seconds worth of wine into their mouth below. Needless to say everyone gets pretty smashed within the hour pretty quickly.

I was bowling what was to be my last ever ball, and badly misdirected it. The guy at silly mid-on caught it straight out of my hand. The batsman waved at me and said, "hey, I'm over here!"

[@jessbellis9510]

It honestly depends if they're likely to see you as a threat or not. My mum (who is short and skinny) was on a trail when she saw movement to her left and a massive male roo was in the bushes right next to her, just watching. She wanted my dad to see and so called him, and as soon as the roo saw my dad it immediately went into posturing/territorial mode. As a kid we were caravanning in QLD rainforest area and stopped by the side of the road for lunch. A cassowary and her 3 chicks walked out into the little clearing we were in and just stood there, even when we got up and had to walk by them to get back to the caravan. I think the greatest advice for anyone planning to explore Australia is "Don't bother it and it won't bother you." Except for salt water crocs, which will watch and hunt you.
