I am doing a speech for english on "Images of Australia" and was wanderign what my fellow IW'ers saw when they pictured an Australian? And if you are an Ozzie yourself i want to know what you see too! I have *cheacks watch* 8 hours to do this (not long) so if you read this post what you see even if it is a few words. Any thaughts would be appreciated.

I think of the phrase, "G'day mate." and imagery of the great outdoors come to mind.

Upon further thinking, dairy products.

*begs for a kicking with his reply*

Steve Irwin :D

Just kidding ;)

Some fellow with a broad-brimmed hat and a mug of beer [img]tongue.gif[/img]

How about what an actual Australian LOOKS like when you imagine what an average Ozzie would look like? C'mon people, i need help here!

Does anyone seea fat guy sitting on a couch with a beer? Shouting "get me a beer dal!" ? Or calling their next-door-nabour a "bloody idiot" ?

Eh? I think of an average looking male who is suntanned and dressed casually.

As above, but bigger and hairier and with a beard. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Really?....... That screwes up my speech up totally.... Are you sure thats what you see? [img]tongue.gif[/img] Do other people in your country think of us in the same way?
