FYI – ‘Straya is what *bogans call Australia.
*A bogan is an uncouth Australian usually seen in a *wife-beater and thongs.
*A wife-beater and thongs is a blue singlet top and flip flops. Bogans usually get around in this attire when cooking a few *snags on the *barbie whilst having a *chinwag and swigging a few *stubbies. Better this than going around in the *nuddy.
*snags are sauasages.
*A barbie is a barbecue
*A chinwag is a conversation.
*Stubbies are bottled beer.
*Nuddy is nude.
Hooroo folks!
“Chinwag” is outstanding! I so wish I could hear you read this aloud! There is nothing better than an Australian accent!! 💚

I’m not sure if this post has put me off going to Australia or making me want to go there more. I’ve always loved their sense of humour which you obviously have.

I always wanted to visit Australia. Now I’m terrified to even look at it on a map. WTF is going on down there? How do you make it through a day?
I’m totally creeped out now. Thanks, Jess.
(Fabulous post, by the way.)

Hehehe it’s mostly ok! Most of that stuff happens up north or in the red center. Here in Victoria it’s pretty tame. Except for the bushfires. And floods.

Okay, bugs and I DO NOT co-exist well. Consider me thoroughly creeped out.
Although, I love the guy bench-pressing the goose 😀

I always said I wasn’t fond of the idea of going to Australia because literally everything is trying to kill you.
Then I met an Australian who one night had to go the hospital because they forgot to check the toilet seat for spiders… and I thought yep definitely not for me.
Now it’s more sort of like a
F**k NO!! You flaming galah! Nope. Nope, no way, nope! Not happening.

Hehehe, nah, most things won’t kill you. Maybe rot half your leg off after a necrotic spider bite (true story) but not kill you!

You should get a job in the Australian tourism industry… you’ve sold me. Now I know things will kill parts of me instead of all of me I feel safe and secure enough to plan a trip to Australia.

Interesting information for me. I once saw a TV program about poisoning spiders that spread all over among houses in Australia. It was scary.
I got confused upon trying to understand the words vocabulary at the end!!! 😮
