1. The bigger the hat, the smaller the farm.

2. The shorter the nickname, the more they like you.

3. Whether it's the opening of Parliament, or the launch of a new art
gallery, there is no Australian event that cannot be improved by a
sausage sizzle.

4. If the guy next to you is swearing like a wharfie he's probably a
media billionaire. Or on the other hand, he may be a wharfie.

5. There is no food that cannot be improved by the application of
tomato sauce.

6. On the beach, all Australians hide their keys and wallets by placing
them inside their sandshoes. No thief has ever worked this out.

7. Industrial design knows of no article more useful than the plastic
milk crate.

8. All our best heroes are losers.

9. The alpha male in any group is he who takes the barbecue tongs from
the hands of the host and blithely begins turning the snags.

10. It's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to hold.

11. A thong is not a piece of scanty swimwear, as in America, but a
fine example of Australian footwear. A group of sheilas wearing black
rubber thongs may not be as exciting as you had hoped.

12. It is proper to refer to your best friend as "a total *******". By
contrast, your worst enemy is "a bit of a *******".

13. Historians believe the widespread use of the word "mate" can be
traced to the harsh conditions on the Australian frontier in the 1890s,and
the development of a code of mutual aid, or "mateship". Alternatively,
Australians may just be really hopeless with names.

14. The wise man chooses a partner who is attractive not only to
himself, but to the mosquitoes.

15. If it can't be fixed with pantyhose and fencing wire, it's not
worth fixing.

16. The most popular and widely praised family in any street is the one
that has the swimming pool.

17. It's considered better to be down on your luck than up yourself.

18. The phrase "we've got a great lifestyle" means everyone in the
family drinks too much.

19. If invited to a party, you should take cheap red wine and then
spend all night drinking the host's beer. (Don't worry, he'll have catered for it).

20. If there's any sort of free event or party within a hundred
kilometres, you'd be a mug not to go.

21. The phrase "a simple picnic" is not known. You should take
everything you own. If you don't need to make three trips back to the car, you're not trying.

22. You are not permitted to sit down in your front yard, or on your
front porch. Pottering about, gardening or leaning on the fence is
acceptable. Just don't sit. That's what backyards are for.

23. The tarred road always ends just after the house of the local
mayor.

24. On picnics, the Esky is always too small, creating a food versus
grog battle that can only ever be resolved by leaving the salad at home.

25. When on a country holiday, the neon sign advertising the motel's
pool will always be slightly larger than the pool itself.

26. The men are tough, but the women are tougher.

27. The chief test of manhood is one's ability to install a beach
umbrella in high winds.

28. Australians love new technology. Years after their introduction,
most conversations on mobile phones are principally about the fact that the call is "being made on my mobile".

29. There comes a time in every Australian's life when he/she realises
that the Aerogard is a darn sight worse than the flies.

30. And, finally, don't let the tourist books fool you. No-one EVER
says "cobber" to anyone ... EVER!
