Well, I've got two, and I need a fire suit.
All Mike Cook said was I couldn't sell the shirts on Ebay
Didn't mention the hats

My daughter is doing a report on Australia and in need of pictures of currency and a good recipe.  Not printing money and not cooking food, at least at school they are not.  Might try at home.  :-D  Cooking that is.

PM me please and thank you!

I'm not sure what you're asking for would be safe at a school! Maybe you should read back through this thread and rethink your request...    :mrgreen: :cheers: hahahaha

PM? bah..... Our banknotes are ....wait for it all different sizes and colors, "wtf"? I hear you mutter....yeah, and um , they ain't made of paper either....they're polymer....so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find images of them online ,like here

they also have a clear window in them with a hologram....that's pretty hard to forge on a photocopier. The smallest denomination here is a 5 cent coin, the copper went out years ago, we have 1 and 2 dollar coins too.

As for Australian recipes it's hard to go past a Pavlova...a desert made with meringue and whipped cream then topped with some chopped fruit, generally strawberries or kiwi fruit. Just search for Pavlova recipe and there'll be millions.

And, don't listen to Sid, the Kiwis always say they invented them.

One thing about australians is we don't know ( or don't care ) who the people are who have their photos on our notes.

(yeah, and some people here don't even capitalize Australian)....Paul that's because no-one wrote a song about it like Willie Dixon did....


Lyrics Willie Dixon

Dead Presidents

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm bad bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

A little bit of Lincoln can't park the car
Washington he can't go too far
Jefferson is good, played the track
If you think you're gonna bring some big bitch back

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm bad bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

Hamilton on a ten can get you straight
But Jackson on a twenty is really great
And if you're talkin' about a poor man's friend
Grant will get you out of whatever you're in

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents

A hundred dollar Franklin is really sweet
A five hundred McKinley is the one for me
If I get a Cleveland, I'm really set
A thousand dollar Cleveland is hard to get

Them dead presidents
Them dead presidents
Well I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
Everybody loves them dead presidents
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

Two weeks at B&B's in Ireland saddled me with my lifetime allotment of Weetabix.

Although seeing as timber seems to come at a high price in Australia - to the point that they print their bills on plastic - Weetabix might make a viable alternative for a proper campfire.

I think I may have been on the phone trying to get a clarification re rule 1.L about competitors showing signs of intoxication having to
turn over all their beer and ice to the nearest official.
 

Grumm,
I would have gladly turned over that swill they were passing off as beer.
The only way I could give it away was to find some foreigner who didn't know better [Dr Goggles].
Most of the good beer is put in bottles and with the BLM ban on glass the options are narrowed.
BJ Burkdoll came to my rescue with Corona in cans, which I had never seen before.
