Only in Australia (well Queensland) will your car fail its roadworthy test because that three month old tyre has a different tread pattern to the other tyres.

Incidentally, the car also had worn/perished suspension bushes, but obviously this is not an issue as I didnt have to get them changed!

I had a very 'only in Oz' moment at the weekend - well maybe not 'only in Oz' but definitely a 'never in the UK' moment
Came out of a nightclub in the Valley in Brisbane to find the sun was already up and blazing away. Then proceeded to go to a cafe and have a coffee while sitting in temperatures of around 25 degrees - at 6 in the morning
You've gotta love Oz

....do people think that 'dressing up' for a smart party means wearing jeans and a T shirt (rather than shorts and singlet)

I once read a thread on here where the poster went to pick up an Aussie work collegue for a funeral and they was in shorts and jeans ... ...

and that wasn't cos they wasn't ready, it was cos they was! ...

Bar shops that sell optics and bar furniture etc in most malls, and hideus beer t-shirts which seem to fly out.

Advert on radio for 'granny flats' - homes for you to put yoru parents in!

Just had a/c fitted when the gas man came round to replace a cylinder and said the a/c unit was illegal as it was placed too close to the gas cylinders.
Phoned the a/c fitter who said "yeah, I thought someone might notice that, guess I'll have to come back and move it"

Go figure?

and this is the place where you NEED a Cert III or above in Electrics to change your lightbulb! ...

Oh it just gets better! ...

That's QLD for you; cowboys and rednecks.

Errr, doesnt Timberfloorau install aircon?

Cutting out the penalty spot and putting in a sporting museum, where Australia qualified for the world cup...... I fell about laughing You gotta luv em??

Only in Australia do they saw Anthony the way it's spelt. I feel like Larry Grayson every time I say it.

Only in Aus does 'next Sunday' actually mean 'this Sunday' - can cause a lot of confusion.

And 'see ya later' means you wont!

'No worries' usually means you should worry :scared:

'She'll be right mate' means it wont.
