Well, in a land of snakes, poisonous spiders and weak beer, it don't take much to be a national treasure! Joking apart, we have come a long way from the topic and I, for one, have enjoyed the journey.
You left out the man eating sharks, huge crocodiles, killer jellyfish, deadly octopuses and the most terrifying of all……. Drop bears!
Nasty vicious creatures with murderous intent, they may look cute and cuddly sitting high up in the trees. That’s what they do to lure in unsuspecting people who get close underneath to a better view, but when you’re directly under them they drop on you in a blur of razor sharp fangs and flick knife claws, shredding the flesh from your bones!

Never heard of drop bears? I’m not surprised as the government tourist authorities cover this up and blame outback serial killers for missing tourists and backpackers, as they’re much less scary than drop bears!
And as for weak beer, you do realise the the awful swill we sell to Jonny foreigners ( Foster’s ) isn’t actually drunk by anyone here, we keep the good stuff here, in fact the manufacturing process involves a small bottling or canning plant connected to every pub urinal.
A brilliant concept, first we drink proper beer, the package the results for export to all you lot! They get to sell the same beer twice.
Next time you’re sipping on a frothy refreshing Fosters….. think of me and the enjoyment I had in my part of making it!
