Re: Awesome Australian things
You need hot chips with tomato sauce - tell them they're not allowed to call them "fries" or "ketchup"
No human being, however great or powerful, was ever so free as a fish

Re: Awesome Australian things
@ohheylisa May I present to you, a hills hoist. Ah so many childhood memories in one picture. I'm hoping that you have come across the term 'goon' before and can pretty much work out what goon-of-fortune is by the picture alone.
As for pass the pascel, there are many variations, but if you want to combine aussie slang and random cheap souveniers into the one game, then this is it!
There is one major prize. This is wrapped up and then you just add more layers. Inbetween each layer can be a souvenier, a dare, some lingo or anything you like. The more weirder the better, especially if it is an adult only party. The best thing about this game is that you can adapt it for any age group.
Okay, now the game is set up, basically you sit around in a circle and play music. You pass the parcel around the the group and randomly stop the music. The person who has the parcel when the music stops, takes off the top layer. Whatever is between the layers, they keep / do.
My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned and that's okay. ツ

Re: Awesome Australian things
Aw I hope you enjoyed your time in Australia @ohheylisa !
If you're having an Australian party you definitely need lammingtons! And don't use your giant American red plastic cups you need those tiny little white cups we seem to get stuck with in Australia (basically to satisfy any kind of thirst you need to refill it 39473947 times). Oh, and sparklers when it gets dark!
