Of course - the drop bears - that brings back memories of us as kids - staring intently up at the top of coconut palms - dashing from open space to open space - warning tourists of the dangers and how to take proper precautions.

That Bundy ad with the drop bear really cracks me up every time I see it ;) .

And we didn't have any winged monkeys were I can from - but we surehad many flying foxes :D .

And Lanesra, as usual, has his facts all about face [img]smile.gif[/img] - the Queen has a lot of respect and is the titular head of state, but she does not run the country.

Amd why OZ - well the abbreviation for Australian is Aussie (pronounced Ozzie), so the Land of Oz is a logical extension.

No that's the good witch.
You're thinking of Pauline Hanson... but she melted away. ;)

Then again, Brits don't think we speak English in America.
you don't speak english, but american is strikingly similar at times ;)

ps. we really do have flying foxes (not sure how well known they are) but they're not what you might think (or are they ?)

Have you ever been asked, seriously

" Do womBATS really fly "?

stunned for ten minutes, speechless the rest of the day.

Ah yes. Osstralia. Land of shrimps and polar bears that fall from tropical palms. Home sweet home.

IT's good to be back.

And we won a test match...

(And before anyone says anything. One word - Twickenham)

Thank all for enlightening me! And for keeping in the light spirit of things.

To wrap up some things .....

Yes, I know what a foxbat is, and that wombats don't fly.

If you have a wicked witch, she must be the Wicked Witch of the South, we definatly have the Wicked Witch of the West - Hilary Clinton (we almost can't truely blame Slick Willie)!

And we do speak English in America - as do Aussies, Canadians, South Africans, New Zealanders, and of course ... Brits. It's called a dialect, something not independant enough to call it a separate language on it's own. Although, those from Newark still don't speak English.

Cheers All! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]
