Survival Guide for a Land Down Under

1) "I won't be a minute" usually means they will be 10 minutes

2) "eskie" = a cooler, "pommie" = someone from England, "mozzies" = mosquitos, "rellos" = relatives, "goss" = gossip

3) You can wear a beenie, sunnies, a tracky, while catching up on the latest goss over brekkie with the rellos.

4) Australian money is waterproof

5) You "hire" a car, not rent one

6) Spotted sharks are good (whale sharks), striped sharks are bad (tiger sharks)!

7) Don't drive at night unless you want to hit a 'roo'

8) You will never catch an Aussie drinking Fosters beer

9) Vegemite IS as gross at it sounds

10) Freshwater crocodiles are not aggressive to humans, but do you really want to test that theory?

11) If you don't know the difference between rugby 'league' and rugby 'union' you are not really an Aussie

12) Cricket has more statistics than any other sport

13) Beer is the most important meal of the day

14) When walking towards someone, pass them on the left or they'll just get confused

15)The kangaroo and the Emu are on Australia's Code of Arms because they can't walk backwards, thus symbolizing a country always moving forward
