That quote "Do you ever just forget you live in Australia and then...". Yes, all the time. That is so true.

My initial thought on the second one (cow costumes) was that it was going to be a play on 101 Dalmatians. I was wrong, but still pleased

I once sat in a bungalow in an Australian rain forest watching Rescuers Down Under while boxing kangaroos ran past my window. Was surreal.

There's only one I didn't get, can someone please tell me what "maccas run" is?
redpandasarethetits
To go to McDonald's.
HashTagYikes
McDonald's
ashstachecashstache
Thank you both! I feel kinda dumb I couldn't get that from the context! Also, now I'm craving maccas ;)
CaptainAshBacon
Normally at a party or early morning late night craving you go on a "maccas run" aka the sober person drives everyone to McDonald's
RandomFlotsam
Maccas run, when a Good Man gets hungry and only has $4.
squirrelgirl86
It's okay, I didn't get it either.

Thanks for protecting that Great Barrier Reef mate, oh wait....

I'd like to come visit you guys!
TownsendV228
Make sure you come prepared.

Well if being prepared means bringing bourbon and beer then I'll be set!

I may be going to Sydney for about six weeks. I've narrowed my "keep with me at all times" choices to armor or beer.
wondrousness
you should add an umbrella to that list
cogs
Even in January-February? Or is it the hordes of bats shitting on you during the summer I need to worry about there?
wondrousness
You should be alright during those months haha the bats are super cool, definitely go to a park at night to check them out!
Laurararose
We Aussies have been known to make armour out of beer cartons. Or goon boxes. Two birds one stone?
cogs
Brilliant.

Unlike Canada and the US, Australia and New Zealand are a little bit of a distance between each other. Makes kissing difficult :(

We have been having a long term relationship for a while now so I guess that's something.

i wonder if the cows photo was Cowaramup. Yes, it's a place...
ohdeepthought
The candy cow is there!

I was hoping it was in Mooball, which is also a place, and all the lamp posts have cow print on them.
Cowmatt
Yes!! My home town. We have a festival called déjà moo every year.

That seems familiar.

Gum Boot Bong - make him Prime Minister!!!
Ravenism
He couldn't be worse than the one we've got.
krallisawesome
You could make the boot PM and it'd be better than the one you've got, even if it still stinks of weed.

Already the Health Minster
WorriedChimera
And our prime minister (Harold Holt) disappeared without a trace, so now "Do the Harry Holt" means leave quickly
JazzandRain
You know they named a swimming pool after him? - he is thought to have drowned in the sea :D
AFelineMassofEyes
A sterling example for politicians worldwide. Good on him
TownsendV228
This is the story which always makes me chuckle.
Summersky
:( oh nooooo. That's really sad.
Berethian
We named a memorial pool after him. He disappeared while swimming.
batinahat
and that the disappearance was in the ocean -so we named a pool after him.
Maaaaaaate
This bit makes me giggle every single time :)
Candymostdandy
I wonder if Kangaroos fight clubs exist but we just don't know because they aren't allowed to talk about it.
TownsendV228
This should have more upvotes
Candymostdandy
I'm okay with it just being between you and me.
TownsendV228
No one else will ever know of our little discussion :)
Candymostdandy
That's right, there is no possible way they could ever find out.

"This man is smoking cannabis through a waterproof boot during a concert. What a fucking legend!"
tarmael
Splendour in the Grass is a music festival in Byron Bay, I think everyone else has covered the rest.
mcfugg
This gent is smoking cannabis through a waterproof boot during our concert at Splendour in the Grass. What a lovingly caressing master!
SomeDetroitGuy
As a confused American, I think the dude is smoking pot through a rubber boot at a concert.
TownsendV228
You are correct.
SomeDetroitGuy
Ain't no MacGyver like a pothead MacGyver. (You guys got MacGyver in Australia, right?)
TownsendV228
Never heard of a MacGyver before.

The dog thing made me sad, though. Couldn't even run away. :(

If it was tied up how could the snake eat it? Wouldn't it be on a rope or something? Can snakes eat through rope now?
shackman
Snake snack made me giggle though. Alliteration makes everything better.
TownsendV228
I felt slightly depressed immediately after reading that post, but I cheered myself up with some VB.
graehall
You can get it any old how, matter of fact...
LumpPump
so any more on that? im curious as to why tying up a dog is supposed to save the wildlife unless the wildlife we are savin was hungry snakes
LatchHookRug
Visual Basic...?
TownsendV228
VB is beer.
OneUsuallyFindsFlowersInAPlaceLikeThis
My thought exactly.
WorriedChimera
Lets also not forget our prime minister (Bob Hawke) who broke the world record for drinking a yard glass
TownsendV228
Now how could we ever forget that? That was history!
AnotherImgurianEnglishman
Heh, apparently he did that at The Turf Tavern in Oxford, good pub!
vindik8or
Yes, he's also an alcoholic. So there's that.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
He's not! He never touched a drop while in Government
vindik8or
That was after he recovered. Something something always an addict.

Sounds like an upstanding, righteous fellow and much preferable to Abbott from what I've heard.

Yeah, but like, that pig that got drunk would be preferable to Abbott at this point...

I want to take this moment to say "WTF New Zealand" for losing it to a fucking Swiss team.

Still more wins than the Aussies.

A "Swiss" team with a multinational crew, including the former captain of the NZ team.
