When the following was sent to me it came with the assurance that they were posted on an Australian Tourism Website by potential visitors to that country, and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials.  I do so hope that was the case, because they are absolutely marvellous.  I have divided this post into two parts - tomorrow I will post all the questions from the USA!

Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is smaller than the male population?  (Italy)
A: Yes, gay nightclubs.

Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia?  (France)
A: Only at Christmas.

Q: Do you have perfume in Australia?  (France)
A: No, WE don't stink.

Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia?  (UK)
A: You are a British politician, right?

Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round?  (Germany)
A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers.  Milk is illegal.

Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia?  I have never seen it rain on TV, how do the plants grow?  (UK).
A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.

Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks?  (Sweden)
A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles.  Take lots of water.

Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia?  (Sweden)
A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.

Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia?  Can you send me a list of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay?  (UK)
A: What did your last slave die of?

Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia?  (UK)
A: Why?  Just use your fingers like we do.
