What it means to be Australian
26 July 2006 by: YervantBeing Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
Oh and…... Only in Australia … can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Australia … do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in Australia … do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.
Only in Australia … do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
Only in Australia … do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Australia … do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won’t miss a call from someone we didn’t want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Australia … are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.
That is precious. Good stuff. I shall have to link it.
And by the way – love using Page Gallery. It is helping to produce great albums. Now if I can only get my camera to shoot shots that you achieve…..!!!

Would you mind if i mention this article with a link from my weblog? I think my readers would love it.
I would live to pass this on to some of my colleagues. Use Page Gallery all the while – my clients just love it.
The greatest thrill of my photographic career was meeting you and being enthralled by one of you seminars. If only I could have you as my mentor – you deserve every accolade you have worked so hard to obtain. Many thanks, Yervant and hope to meet again soon.

Bloody awesome website!!
In the words of the awesome henry thornton,
“we want to make ‘no worries mate’ our national phrase,
‘she’ll be right mate’ our national attitude,
and ‘waltzing matilda’ our national anthem.” (so what if it;s about a sheep stealing crim who commits suicide!)
Good stuff mate.

Bob,
I am not a comedian but I like a good joke!
Did I claim in any way that the joke was mine?? It’s just a joke.
I liked and shared it on my blog!!
By the way, that is what a BLOG is, the owner shares what ever they want.
Pretty cool McCool!!!
