I agree about bare feet but thongs are fine. I've worn them outside all my life - in SA, UK and here.

You are pathetic! You live in Toowoomba and can actually say you love it! Even aussies hate Toowoomba. It's not quite hell but you can see it from there - isn't that what they say about toowoomba.

I love seeing people in bare feet - not a big fan of thongs though but don't see them that much anymore.
