1. Nothing is more important than a mate...
2. And we'll ALWAYS have a mate...
3. Because a friend in need is a friend indeed...
4. Aussies take life seriously.
5. Which is why THIS is our favourite newspaper...
6. One croc yarn is never enough.
7. We're Down Under, a long way from anywhere…
8. But we speak the same language as you...
9. Kind of...
10. Well, maybe not.
11. Our nation is bloody big, mate...
12. With really long gaps between toilet breaks...
13. And not much worth stopping for in between...
14. Which is why we love a refreshing cold beer at the end of a long journey.
15. Our weather can be rather warm…
16. And many of our citizens haven’t quite adapted…
17. But our native animals know how to chill...
18. And they’re trying to show us the ropes
19. Christmas is traditionally celebrated on one of the hottest days of the year…
20. And New Year's Day spent relaxing with mates.
21. Eventually the rain comes and we cool down...
22. Our weather can sometimes be wild…
23. And moody...
24. But it's always very patriotic.
25. We take our drinking very seriously...
26. And prefer to do it wearing singlets and thongs.
27. These are thongs.
28. Our land is packed with beautiful, iconic animals…
29. Almost entirely cute ones too...
30. Ain't that so?
31. Well okay, there's a few dangerous critters too...
32. But not everything is as scary as it seems...
33. "He's just a tiddler, ya pussy..."
34. Tragically, our introduced pests have devastated our beautiful native wildlife...
35. But our dogs are the smartest on the planet.
36. Our land is full of riches...
37. But some people aren't very good at sharing.
38. We live in one of the most expensive nations on Earth, yet we're constantly shortchanged.
39. Anyone for $65 an hour parking?
40. Still, at least we have the world's best place names.
41. Every Australian man needs a shed.
42. At the very least a decently sized backyard is vital...
43. Because the most important game in Australia is played out on our own hallowed turf...
44. All the family can participate...
45. And we can make up the rules as we go along.
46. At the end of the day, teamwork just works for us...
47. However bad things get, we'll always have a mate...
48. And he'll never, ever let us down...
49. Except when he interferes with our driving.
