Two truly Australian things are: Vegemite and Australian football.
Vegemite is THE single most Australian product in the world. It tastes foul and only Australians have developed a taste for it. Jerome's reaction was "Aw damn!" and Stephane said "That's awful". In the Australian national museum you'll find Vegemite jars dating back to the 1920's, and every Aussie knows the song:
We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch and tea.
Our Mummies say we're growing stronger
Every single week
Because we love our Vegemite.
We all adore our Vegemite.
IT PUTS A ROSE IN EVERY CHEEK!
We're growing stronger every week!
Australian Football is a fun sport. It comes down to:
1. Kick, disfigure, maim and kill anyone who has the ball.
2. If you have the ball, run like the wind in the general direction of the goal.
You'll need to drink a few beers, eat a couple of dogs during the 3 hours the entire session. Footy as the Aussies call it is played in 4 halves of 25 mins each. At the end of the game, the public is invited on the field to kick a few balls themselves.
