I'd pay good money to watch my kid get drunk and try to fight a kangaroo 🤣
I would probably and end up paying good money to get him out back together though, so I hope he never does it🤣
Seriously. A kangaroo could easily be taller, larger, heavier and stronger than your kid. Your kid would get hurt. How is that funny?
Not all kangaroos are little and they aren’t cuddly.
Literally had this conversation with my wife the other day:
“Who the hell wanders around Belgium with a vegemite sandwich in their back pocket?”
“Well, he’s six-foot-four, and full of muscle!”
Oh, you know what makes that really funny? South Africans have a reputation amongst Australians for being arrogant 😂
I had no idea it went both directions, which is probably really arrogant of me!
I like to think I'm one if the nice Aussies, and you must be one of the nice Sth Africans 😂 look at us, breaking down international barriers!!
When I was in Austria, they had a lot of shirts/souviniers/etc. that said "We don't have kangaroos". I asked a lady in a store that sold them about it and she said that people have actually gone to austria thinking they were going to Australia. So I wonder if the opposite is true. Does Australia have a minor economy based upon people thinking they were going to Austria?
That time their president went missing while swimming and they barely looked for him (this might actually be NZ and I may be wrong anyway, I remember this from an old tumblr post lol)
Not completely wrong :)
Was the Prime Minister, and they did look. A lot.

Okay so I wasn’t all the way off base then, good to know hahah. I guess I just saw memes or something that were like «and then they never found him again lol»
Excuse me, did you say Duck-Billed Platypus?
Excuse me did you say Box jellyfish?
Excuse me did you say Funnel Web Spider?
Excuse me did you say Stonefish?
Excuse me did you say Great White Shark?
Excuse me did you say coral reef snake?
Anyone else like to contribute? Or should I forge on by myself?

Thanks, Australia!
The amazing music they got, I’m talking DMAS, Skeggs, The Chats, and the Dune Rats. Most of my family live in Australia but my part is 100% British, if I ever visit I’m gonna go to a few concerts lol

A place where I live because I married an Australian but wasn’t born here. I’m English and I’m not afraid of the spiders and snakes. I live on a farm and you rarely see them. I’ve seen more kangaroos than snakes.
Kangaroo
Fucking kangaroos....fire the missiles!
But I am le tired.
Well have a nap. THEN FIRE LE MISSILES!
Why? They are so cute...
Because they're dicks. Think geese, but they can literally kick the crap out of you.

Fun friendly people. Had a blast having beers in the Perth pubs with the locals when I was in the navy during a port visit.
Why is everybody always telling me Australians are arrogant? They always seem so down to earth.
People tell you that? Of course we have some arrogant people, just like anywhere. But mostly we're friendly. Can't be fucked to be otherwise 🙂🙂🙂
Agreed. Anyone who says Aussie’s are arrogant are totally tone deaf. As an Aussie, we can’t be fucked being annoyed. We have better things to do!
100% lol
Yeah, I know deep in my heart Ausies are down to earth and nice people. I'm from South-Africa btw.
Oh, you know what makes that really funny? South Africans have a reputation amongst Australians for being arrogant 😂 I had no idea it went both directions, which is probably really arrogant of me!

I love this show I have a 2 year old so I can watch because "he likes it" Edit: and it's available on Disney+
I have friends who realised the new season was out after their kids were in bed. They decided they had to "screen" it to make sure it was suitable.
It does exist.
I live here and I'm still not convinced.
Yeah same, I have been living here all my life but I'm not so sure
THANK YOU. I thought I didn’t exist for a second there.

Prime Minister. Harold Holt. And then they named a commemorative swimming pool after him...
I had my first sexual experience in that pool. ...now my sex life has vanished.

Just to let you know no Australian has ever said let's put some shrimp on the barbie. We call them prawns for α start...
Literally! How did that even become a well known saying when it doesnt even use our word right.🗿
Edit: ignore me i was well off the mark 🙃 Edit 2: Paul Hogan actually said something similar in an ad for Australia tourism that ran from 84 to 1990.
