Facts about Australian graphic designers

I know everyone in the world has seen Crocodile Dundee and that it’s the greatest movie ever. However I thought I’d take this opportunity to answer a few questions I’ve been asked more than once when speaking with people overseas.
Believe it or not…
- I have never ridden a Kangaroo.
- Nor has anyone else, and they do not have parking spots.
- I do not have a pet Koala.
- Wild Koalas, a.k.a. drop bears, do not dive from trees to attack people.
- Yes I like vegemite. No you probably won’t.
I have never used the following phrases;
- Lets throw another shrimp on the barbie.
- G’day Mate! ( without having a laugh … )
- She’ll be apples.
Good old television.
It’s disappointing I know, but TV and movies do exaggerate some times.
Oh well, until next time, hooroo*.
*Hooroo means see you later. No I’ve never said it.

Do you drink Fosters lager? Hehe.
I assume it to be the same with Texas and horses. All localities are associated with animals for some reason, or beer?
Ah Australia, looks like paradise.
Andrew,
Fosters Lager, *cringe*, no I don’t drink it. For all the things Australia does well, not many of our beers fall into that category.
Omar,
It’s a nice place that’s for sure, just not quite like TV depicts it ;)
Oh my, I thought everybody was riding Kangaroos down there :P
Jean,
Not any more, we drive these newfangled things called cars. Like mechanical wagons they are.
Makes getting ’round the big smoke a breeze.
So true. I’m Australian, I play online games with a lot of yanks and get asked the kangaroo and koala stuff all the time.
Asked about how I avoid getting bitten by all the spiders and snakes too.
