Australian culture #52803 01/15/02 12:16 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,156 B Bean OP old hand OP Bean old hand B Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,156 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!

It's a good way to spend an afternoon!
