w3wt for english speaking countries! represent! 😛

I do want to visit both austrailia and GB one day (maybe the same day, technology premitting 😛). Both seem like really cool places. I suspect that the American and Austrailian west have much in common. Plus, Oz's relatively low population is probably refreshing.
 
I'd like to spend a little more time in the UK as well. Great country. Australia on the other hand...well let's just say that I've already been to Kentucky.

I really like a Ale out of SF area called Steel Head, but it's impossible to find.

i was under the impression that most Poms drank Fosters actually (since no one in Oz actually does 😉 ) and you see it on things like Coupling all the time ;D

Horse piss. I don't dink lagers for the most part and especially not that piss. Can't really name one thing about OZ I like. Sorry.

Nope. I don't really like Kentucky that much. Sorry if you're from there. It doesn't compare to the UK at all.

LOL because he's a yank idea, and gives an awful idea of what Oz is like 🙁
 
I'd like to visit New Zealand more than Australia...but I wouldn't say no to an all-expenses-paid trip to either! 😉

The character was created by Paul Hogan! Crocodile Dundee is the most famous worldwide symbol of Australia.

I was there at 14. (my parents drug us all over the place as kids:|) All I remeber is 25 hours each way, and singing "god Bless America" in unison with my brothers on plane flight back. 😀

It was a huge hit all over the world!

Crocodile Dundee = Australia

I'm not even sure if it was American backed... I believe that it's Australian. I'm pretty sure it's an Australian movie. It's probably one of the most successful Australian movies ever, and probably most famous part of Australian identity around the world!
