Blundie-type boots are getting quite popular here too lately.
Australia has to have more nasty beasts and reptiles than any other spot on earth....
If you are really interested in learning a few "Australianisms", drop down to your nearest decent bookstore and ask for: "The Dinkum Dictionary" by Lenie (Midge) Johansen. ISBN 0 670 90051 6 (Viking O'Neil Penguin Books Aust.)
You will have to order it but if you are interested, it will definitely be worth the wait! If you study it, you will be able to outslang the average Aussie, and that's no mean feat.

Well, not to be rude, but I'm going to be disappearing for a while. I'm about to board a flight to Thailand. Got a meeting to attend for our international staff. Not enough low-cost Internet time for me there, so I can't goof around much.
Thanks for the warm welcome and laughs, guys! I'll be checking in a bit later....
Too right, you've met our prime ministers have you.Quote:

By the way, sidestep the Blundstones, RMWilliams boots are where it's at!
