Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia fair!"

from Cazalys Cairns
- You know your Australian if: You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn.
- You're liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans "rooting" for something.
- You can translate 'Dazza an...d Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas.'
- You believe it makes perfect sense for a nation to decorate its highways with large fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep.
- You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place.
- You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife.
- You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin.
- You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' can't be called 'Woy'.
- You believe that cooked-down axle grease makes a good breakfast spread.
- You've also squeezed it through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms.
- You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up, at which point they again become Kiwis.
- Beetroot with your Hamburger... Of course.
- You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' And "Living next door to Alice".
- You believe that the biscuit known as the Wagon Wheel has become smaller with every passing year.
- You wear ugg boots outside the house.
- You believe that every important discovery in the world was made by an Australian but then sold off to the Yanks for a pittance.
- You believe that the more you shorten someone's name the more you like them.
- You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, While 'scuse me' is always polite.
- You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose.
- You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron.
- Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules for beach cricket.
- You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc.
- You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are.
- You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like s#*t. But we let the world think we do.
- You have some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer.
- Maybe even as perfume.
- You've only ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you REALLY mean it.
- You know that the barbecue is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man.
- And the women make the salad.
- You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not.
- You understand what no wucking furries means.
- You've drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.
- You know that roo meat tastes pretty good, But not as good as barra. Or a meat pie.
- You know that some people pronounce Australia like "Straya" and that's ok.
And you will forward this list to other Australians, here and overseas, realising that only they will understand. |

I had doubts my nearly seven year old son would enjoy Hairy Maclary and Friends on stage at the Sydney Opera House, but he was just as enthralled as his four-year-old brother as they chanted those familiar words. All those years of reading the books to my then toddlers sure paid off as they felt right at home with Hairy Maclary and all of his friends. It was like coming home! Read More» |
