In my Internet wanderings I discovered the following page, which has a lot of information about Australian culture and language: http://www.australianbeers.com/

I ran it by stales, since he actually lives there, and he says it's "a gem of a site" so I gather that it has his seal of approval! So if any of you Northern Hemisphere types have been wondering more about life in Australia, or better yet, assuming that it's just like North America, but with the seasons reversed, have a look. It's a good way to spend an afternoon!
