Ohh ohh, I'm from Australia, I can help!
- The internet sucks.
- Games are really expensive.
- Summer is fucking hot.
- Don't fuck with the snakes. Almost all of them can kill you.
- Don't fuck with the spiders. Some of them can kill you. Others can make you wish you'd never been born.
- We use the metric system. Millimetres, centimetres, kilometres, millilitres, litres and so on.
- Most importantly, beware of drop-bears.

On the pronounciation of Melbourne topic, I reckon you'd be better off trying to say it like melb'n. Try not to get too many of those messy vowels in there and she'll be right.
Also, if you're stopping by in the mountains to the east of the city, be sure to stop over in the Cuckoo. It's German-themed, but the food'sgood horrible edible, and we're a nice enough bunch of guys 'n gals. Be sure to say hi to the bartenders. Chances are one of them's me

There is no such thing as a pickup, they are called utes
Just out of interest do you have many cars like this over there? These are utes.

I haven't seen one around where I live(New Hampshire)
Just have fun. I went there about 8 years ago, and it was very fun for me. Also I was born there, but moved out for familiar reasons. Just have fun.
The back is just a big tub/tray to put stuff in. Really handy when you're moving/picking up big things. Sort of like a small trailer built in to the car.FortheLegion said:those are weird carsKeepitclean said:There is no such thing as a pickup, they are called utes

They're corretly known as utility vehicles. Based on my knowledge of America (based almost entirely on TV shows) you seem to prefer what you colloquially call trucks, which follow the same principle but on a 4x4 chassis instead of a sedan.FortheLegion said:those are weird carsKeepitclean said:There is no such thing as a pickup, they are called utes

If you see someone with a southern cross tatoo, short shorts and is loudly going on about how they snapped, smashed, bashed, fucked up or pwned 'Sum Cun', avoid them. They are called Bogans. They have smaller and weaker cousins called Eshes/Eshlads. Don't interact with them at all.
I believe Australia is actually a large piece of a Devil-Planet that passed through Earth's orbit some millions of years ago. Back when Elves still lived in New Zealand.
Australia crashed into the Earth and made itself at home. Earth's lovely climate allowed Australia's Demon-Fauna and Hell-Flora to flourish and they soon took over the new continent. Fortunately, the Elves had just finished making the Maori before they left Earth and tasked their warrior race with the job of making sure nothing from Australia left Australia.
Always remember: If it's small enough to squish, it's fast enough to flank you and skewer your leg with some Dead-Iron spike. If it's large enough to eat you, it will wait until you sleep. It already knows where you live.
I recommend equipping yourself now. Plate or scale armor are your prime choices for protection. Most creatures in Australia have natural armor, be it hardened hide or a shell made of alien minerals, therefore taking reduced damage from piercing or slashing weapons. Bring a Paladin, too.

1) Everything and I mean everything in austrailia wants to kill you.
2) There is an awesome Mana-bar there you should check out fer sure.
3) Your games will pretty much be limited to Barbie's horse adventures.
4) Everyone who was born there is related to a criminal somehow.

If you go to the mining part of Australia watch out for geckos, they may be everywhere! Also run away from crocs in a zig-zag. Which is something I don't get. Most people can't turn that fast--Don't pick something we're both shit at! Cookie x 2 if you get the reference. But seriously watch out for funnel web spiders, extremely venomous box jellyfish, sea urchins, snakes, and kangaroos. Also as other people have brought up Australia hates gamers with a passion--so buying games is hard. Make sure to buy ALL GAMES YOU WANT TO PLAY while still in America. Oh yeah and in case you're a fan, try to find the Mana Bar to meet Yahtzee Croshaw ;P.
