If you watch telly here, then you sound normal, most shows are US based...even the kids play imagination games with American accents.

It is really only the Southern states that sound different, the slower speaking, slight drawl, kind of a lazy easy to understand accent...probably similar to us aussies.

HAHA!
I still want an aussie man..is it possible to get mail order grooms?

Ummm...well I am here on a US site, what might that say?

Nah, there are heaps of great Aussie men..

I bet there is a whole catelogue of aussie men you can mail order, tried ebay?

I want an aussie woman...but Jess is always like "I'm too old" and blah blah, but I'd date her if I lived there!

LOL!
I can already see my grandma's face..it would be priceless!

Allen, the door is always open, you are welcome here anytime.

And too old??? For what? For trekking through the rainforests finding wombats for you? Bring your hiking boots Allen.

there are rain forests over there? I thought it was an African thing! But after the hike you might need to relax

Allen, google Daintree Rainfore st, it is about 16 hours north of me, but we have temperate rainforests right here, and some amazing cold clime rainforests just a few hours south.

Oops!!! had a smiley pop into the middle of the word Rainforest...

Cool! I'd be happy enough just hanging out on your back porch watching animals go by. Its like a different world over there, all we have here are squirrels and raccoons and possums.

If you sit real still, you can have sunbirds, butcher birds, magpies, come in the house to you, and if you aren't watching where you are walking collide with a wallaby on the drive, my daughter did, walking to school, and the funny thing was both the wallaby and my daughter had the same expression on their faces...it was hilarious, and no harm done to either.

I saw a wallaby at the zoo once, they look like pale kangaroos (unless they were special wallabys and I missed the sign...then again, I just got crapped on by an Aussie bird while I tried to feed it nector.)

You are special then, aussie birds are very selective who they poop on....

Wallabies, are a smaller in size, sub species of the macropod family, they can be as black as night, or as pale as a grey mist, depending on the species.

We have the Pretty-face variety here in abundance, and also a small mob of swamp wallabies, they are darker, and heavier set, than the pretty faced wallabies.

Yep thats it, I'm totally camping out at your house

((I think we just turned this thread into the Discovery Channel))

Apologies to the OP...
