1. The best thing about an Australian summer is spending a good portion of it down by the beach.
That is until you forget to reapply your sunscreen and end up looking like a perfectly cooked lobster.
2. The best thing about an Aussie Christmas has to be all the fresh seafood and pavlova.
But no one has EVER enjoyed battling through the Boxing Day crowds to find a bargain.
3. The best thing about hot chips by far has to be the addition of delicious chicken salt.
That is until you're spotted and attacked by a pack of hungry seagulls.
4. The best thing about primary school was the annual visit from Healthy Harold.
But being forced to stay in the shade because you forgot your hat was absolute torture.
5. The best thing about Australian animals is that you're often able to get up close and personal with them.
That is until they get a little too close for comfort and end up drawing blood.
6. The best thing about growing up in Australia was being treated to one of these bad boys on your birthday.
But having to endure the struggle of dial up internet when all you wanted to do was chat to your mates on MSN was never a vibe.
7. The best thing about getting your license is going on that first Macca's run with your mates.
That is until you're told that both the ice cream AND frozen coke machines aren't working.
8. The best thing about an Aussie party is when everyone starts drunkenly singing along to "The Horses".
But drinking your weight (and then some) in goon-filled shoeys and Passion Pop was always a painful experience.
9. The best thing about school canteens was the excitement you felt when you ordered your lunch.
That is until your burned your tongue while taking a big bite out of your meat pie.
10. The best thing about Australian food is devouring the melted goodness of a perfect Tim Tam slam.
But cutting the sides of your mouth while eating a Zooper Dooper definitely has to be the worst.
11. And finally, the best thing about being hungover is being able to chow down on a freshly cooked Bunnings snag.
That is until one of these sneaky birds tries to nick your sausage.
