Is this the most Aussie joke of all time? 🐊
I'd love to hear what phrases people associate with Australia that they've picked up from books or movies...

Lauren_reading Apparently dingoes eat babies? 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @steverogers, more of a fact than a saying 😂 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LaurenReads, sadly a true story! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Azaria_Chamberlain 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Marchpane, from the legendary tourism ad starring Paul Hogan! Aussies actually call them Prawns tho... 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie, 😂 totally my favourite line from the movie! 🐊🐊🐊 8y
Lauren_reading I had no idea it was true!! Wow 8y
Marchpane 😂😂😂 I'm an Aussie myself! All my favourite sayings are from The Castle 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LaurenReads 😐yeah it's one of those cases that really captured the attention of the nation. 8y
maximoffs @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I remember seeing something about a jelly fish that kills you in 7 min and the average ambulance arrival time is 8min 8y
Marchpane Tell him he's dreamin! 😂 8y
AmberJoy I seem to associate small deadly animals and insects with Australia. 8y
Lizpixie @steverogers it's called irukandji jellyfish and are the size of a square of chocolate, and there's also the box jellyfish which killed 60 people in the last 100 years. 8y
Lizpixie Not happy Jan! 8y

maximoffs @Lizpixie let me tell you how much I don't need that in my life 8y
Sue That's awesome. @LaurenReads There have actually been cases in the last 5 years of dingoes on Fraser Island attempting to take bigger kids - there was a 3 yr old mauled. 8y
Sue @Marchpane How's the serenity??!! 8y
Lauren_reading @Sue that is so scary! We have a coyote problem in Las Vegas - but only with pets being attacked, not children!! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie @steverogers - I didn't know that about the jellyfish 😐 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @AmberJoy, haha - we do seem to have a reputation for deadly animals... 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LeeRHarry, haha - I've not seen any Kath & Kim.... 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie - some classics there 😂😂😂 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LaurenReads @Sue - oh! I didn't know that! I've only ever seen dingoes at sanctuaries... 8y
Sue Yeah, the problem with the dingo population on Fraser is that the food supply is pretty limited, so wandering unattended small humans look pretty tasty. People are pretty careful now, but it did finally give some independent evidence to the chamberlain case after all these years 8y
