What not do do
Does anyone have any ideas what I should not do when in Australia? What things might I do that should not be done just cause i didnt know any better. Words that arent used there in the same way they are used in the United States , hand jetures that are different, etc....im ready for some funny ones too.
I will be there for a few months and possibly a year.

Crocodiles come in two varieties; the 'salties' will eat you and the 'freshies' are harmless and usually OK to swim with so see what type of crocodile is in the water where you plan to swim first.
Salt water crocodiles hate getting their eyes poked so when the croc has got you in his jaws just reach out and scratch his eyes and he will let go. So just dont jump into the water I guess. I dont think im going to swim with any crocs though. lol Dont run straight when being chased by a croc. Zig Zag. If you don't want to stand out as a tourist avoid drinking Foster's beer, stick to VB, or XXXX in Queensland. Don't sleep under a coconut tree. Cassowaries like to chase people so if you come face to face with one do not turn your back and run, this will encourage him to chase you and you can run for miles, the bird can do 50km/h so you are not going to outrun him anyway. Back off slowly, hold something in front of you, go behind a tree or raise your arms up to look taller.

don't call america home - call it the old country
 okay that's a new zealand tip but I think it's the same (oh god cammo's gonna e-beat my arse!) that's the second one - never compare them to new zealanders or anything, they don't like each other...not sure how this works as NZ relies on the australian air force for cover lol

If you want to say hello in Australia, you have to give them a peace sign with your fingers (but make sure your palm is facing you) and say the Aboriginal word for hello which is "Farquoff".
You should fit right in after that. Quote:
