If you ask for a Fosters there's no danger of being mistaken for a southerner. The only people who drink that stuff are foreigners. Can't remember the last time I saw anyone order a Fosters. Can you still buy it in Australia?Quote:

First lesson, nobody (well not many) people in Australia drink Fosters. Its an export brew designed to eliminate as many other people in the world so ve der master... sorry must have missed my medication, so we can fool the other people in the world that we drink p1$$ and wont want to come here and use our beautiful timber. :DQuote:

Although it is true, Darwin had a world champion Ice Hockey team in the 70's as I recall, (and if all the details are not altogetherly the way it was then perhaps someone from there could correct it.)
The tides in Darwin are a bit big, (like 8-10 metres) and there is this spot called "the Rock" which is accessable by foot at low tide, and of course becomes an island for the rest of the time. A few locals took to "sitting" on the rock and consuming a few rations while waiting for the tide to recede, and as this activity grew in popularity, an unofficial "Rock Sitter's Club" was formed.
Time passed, and a few of the members noticed that the hours of Sitting and consuming alcohol were taking their toll on fitness and they decided to take up Ice Hockey. They would walk around the flats at low tide checking all the puddles to see if they'd frozen over, but none of them ever were, so they would go back to the rock, crack a few dozen more, and wait.
Eventually the club decided to send out challenges, so they invited the Canadian national team (then World Champs) down for a test. Canadians wimped out, and the Darwin Rock Sitter's Ice Hockey Club became world champions by default!
You'll love it here!
P :D
Ill keep you to that too.Quote:

Actually they used to broadcast a lot of Aussie rules football here. They might still, but I don't get those stations anymore. The only rule in that game is play on isn't it. I'm more a rugby union fan, but can adapt. First Wallabies vs All Blacks game I saw was in Fiji. It nearly turned into a punch up between the Aussies and Kiwis. They had to get a couple of big Filians to baby sit the tv room in the hotel for the rest of the game.
