Re: A typical "Aussie Barbie?"
Soooo....
I can either use the $99 kettle drum BBQ and share my food, which is coated with half a pound of charcoal, with a billion flies, while standing in the boiling hot sun as my beer goes warm, or....
sit in my air condition kitchen with beer direct from the fridge, no flies and use my $2000 oven to cook the food to perfection.
Hmmm.. it's a tough decision isn't it?

You just wait until your first Summer here, when the blow flies arrive from the interior, you might reassess that eating round the BBQ... they are persistent little bastards and will spend all their time trying to get in your mouth, up your nose, in your ears, in your eyes... and any other orifice you expose.

I suppose you could go out and spend three grand on a mains gas powered, plumbed in, BBQ... but you would still be spending your time fighting the flies for your food.

Re: A typical "Aussie Barbie?"
So I take it from all your very interesting replies that the "typical Aussie Barbie" is just a myth and no different from the "UK POM" barbie. No joke, but in some top restaurants there is, Ostrich steaks, Crocodile and Kangaroo and I presumed that this was part of a typical Aussie Barbie, but I'm sure if it was, you would have informed me. So its just Sausages, burgers, beef steaks with salad. hmm, very interesting

There were some Kangaroo steaks at the last BBQ I went to. It wasn't an Aussie's BBQ though, it was with my English mates
