BEING STRAYLYAN

At last, a yardstick by which you can measure an "Australian" For
those of you who haven't met an Australian and are not sure what one is
REALLY like!

Australian accent, eg. "push off, ya flamin' drongo!"

Holden makes the better car!

3) You've done the "hot sand" dance at the beach while running from
the ocean back to your towel.

4) You know who Ray Martin is.

doin'?"

7) You've seriously considered running down the shop in a pair of Ugg
Boots

8) You own a pair of ugg boots.

9) You've been to a day-nighter cricket match and screamed out
incomprehensibly until your throat went raw.

of alcohol and a mate named "Dave".

fly.

30) You've been on a beach holiday and have probably stayed in a
caravan.
