Crazy Tourist Questions

July 15th, 2007

Here are some questions received by Australians from foreigners, along with some smart ass replies.



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: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)
A: Depends how much you’ve been drinking.

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 you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia? (USA)
A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not… oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.

Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA)

A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from. All Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.

Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its name. It’s a kind of bear and lives in trees. (USA)
A: It’s called a Drop Bear. They are so called because they drop out of Gum trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

A: Yes, but you’ll have to learn it first!

Q: Can I find the terrorist “George Fernandez” in Queensland ? ( from Moronic Anko san from Japan)

    Yeah, seriously. Just because I all the time hear the British and Ozzies making fun of America and it’s people and it’s president and it’s cars and it’s culture and it’s collective IQ doesn’t necessarily mean I think they are all bad. Actually, I think I am going to move to the UK and become an encyclopedia salesman!

    Ch-ears :)

    yay, less than half the comments were from the US! We’re getting better!

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to masturbate instead of watch the presidential debate.

    As a person looking forward to hosting the 2010’s I must remember this Little Rule when asked if that is Mt. Fuji not to fall over laughing! After all spending 10 hrs on a plane looking at Mt Fuji doesn’t mean you have gone anywhere
