These were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the
actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a great sense
of humour.



Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, how do
the plants grow? (UK).

We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.



Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)

Depends how much you've been drinking.



I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks?
(Sweden)

Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.


Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia? Can you send me a list of
them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay? (UK)

What did your last slave die of?



Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)

A-Fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia
is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not - oh forget
it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked




Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)

Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll
send the rest of the directions.



Can I bring cutlery into Australia? (UK)

Why? Just use your fingers like we do.



Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)

Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is - oh
forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings
Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.



Can I wear high heels in Australia? (UK)

You are a British politician, right?



Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round?
(Germany)

No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is
illegal.



Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense rattlesnake
serum (USA)

Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian
snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.



I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name.
It's a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)

It's called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum
trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare
them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.



I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell
me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA)

Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.



Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is
smaller than the male population? (Italy)

Yes, gay nightclubs.


Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia? (France)

Only at Christmas.


Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)

Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
