Wasn't the only thing ever to be invented in Australia the rotary clothes line??

Problems solved re: drying.

And the "Black Box" flight recorder.

So why don't you make the whole plane out of that and then nobody would ever have to worry about an in-flight emergency again

You can have lots of inflight emergencies without plummeting to your death but that is a damn good point

[snowcherry]

And the "Black Box" flight recorder.          They ain't even black!!!

used to be! was probably some american that changed it 

And the "Ute"                    Previously known as "pickup" on other continents

there is a difference betweena pickup and a ute thank you - a pickup is also american 

and don't forget we have vegemite!

[Nick Riffed]

and don't forget we have vegemite!



That poor imitation of Marmite.   Mmmmm.

And cask wine.                       Wine box it maybe but it ain't no cask.
And the "Black Box" flight recorder.          They ain't even black!!! Thay are after the fire 
And the Mower (Victa type).      What, like Soap opera (Neighbours type) Um no. Overseas thay had these blade things on a roller like the push type but with a motor
And the "Ute"                    Previously known as "pickup" on other continents Think you'll find we had the ute first.
And the boomerang.          A piece of wood you can't throw away. and why would you want to? 
And the bionic ear.            Highly debatable. Remember Major Steve Austin?? You can get a Cocklear implant for a hell of a lot less than $6million dollars.

BTW. Interesting story re Coclear implant. My wife worked at Macquarie Uni in Sydney where the Cochlear people had development links. When we were in UK in 2000 we stopped at B&B in Edinburgh where the landlady's pre-school daughter had not long had a Cochlear implant and she was so happy with the results that when she heard our Aussie accents she made our stay very special. Just about treated us like royalty. Her daughter was the most beautiful little girl and it was a great pleasure to see gow happy she was being able to hear.

I haven't met an Aussie yet that didn't.  I find that compared to Marmite it tastes kinda soapy.  

[surferdude]

It's a great way to pick fellow Aussies overseas.
They generally turn up for breakfast with their own tube of Vegemite. Guaranteed discussion starter.

Now that sounds much more tempting than Vegemite.

[snowcherry]

i can't stand meat pies strangely

There are meat pies and there are meat pies (I don't like the ones with marrowbone jelly in them  ) but the "home made" ones with nice chunky bits of meat in them are a "different kettle of fish" so to speak..
