What do you see when you picture an Australian?

Originally posted by Dagorion: Ah, yes well Australia is a beutiful country buy i was basing my speech on the fact that people from other countrys saw us as lazy, beer drinking people who say "bloody hell" a lot. But knowing that you dont is better. At least noone is going to start talking to their friends in the middle of me saying my speech about how much of an idiot i am and that thats not how you see us at all but thanks to you i will be saved that embarrasment

Beer drinking lazy people would be the last image to cross my mind.
I'll go with the Cro hunter garb, including the hiking boots and wide brimmed hat (turned up on one side of course lol).
I see people like Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, & Yorick....adventurer's at heart, you can see it in their eyes.
The aborgines...freedom loving earth dwellers at heart...people who are one with their environment.
Not that this is at all in time for you to put it in your report but I took a napasaurus (a 12 hour *cough*nap*cough*) yesterday and have been working all day today on things I wanted to get done last night. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I keep thinking of those british Elephant hunters. With their Shoulder breaking, Eyeball popping .460 Weatherby Magnum Rifles. With the brim hat with the one brim folded up. And the guy getting an elephant and saying "I'd like to see a Mauser do THAT!" Then, a German hunter does the same thing, stop an Elephant in full flight, by blasting it right between the eyes with a Mauser 98, hunters style, and calling the hunter a 'dunkov.' Wait, that actually happened. Australians. I picture Americans, with the same griped about leadership, vaguely English accents, and a tan. Australia, now I'm not sure where I heard this, I could be wrong, but I heard Australia was kinda sunny. Like Arizona, but with less radiation.

To profile them, I'd say that they were friendly, gregarious, espouse national pride, extremely sports-oriented, possessing sangfroid, slightly arrogant, and tend to go wild at parties. In short, not unlike your average Texan. -Sazerac

Well thank goodness I am not an average Texan! I'd be worn out LOL!
