Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or 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 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.
