Well... actually they are the Kookaburras [/QUOTE]Yeah, I meant Kookaburras... stuff!! Thanks Aelia. The Kangaroos are the Rugby League team.

So we have the:

Kookaburras - Hockey
Hockeyroos - Womens Hockey
Socceroos - Football
Kangaroos - Rugby League
Wallabies - Rugby Union

What else is there? Any Emus? Wombats? Fat-arsed Wombats? Koalas? Platypuses? Goannas? Cockatoos? Quokkas? Cicadas? Jumbucks? Jolly Jumbucks? Funnelwebs? Brown snakes? Blue-ringed octopii? Thylacines? Dingos? Wiggeties?


I know we have the Waratas. Oh what an inspiringly fearful name a FLOWER is.
