Don't overuse the word 'mate'.
Other than that, avoid running around without transport at night. It's usually pretty empty around the suburbs but if you get a group of drunks than you're guaranteed to at the very least put up with them for like 15mins as they follow you and either discuss their life stories, or bottle you.

Kings St. Avoid that shit like the plague after 9pm.

I got bottled in Prahan, after having like a 20 minute conversation with some random near the skate park, I turn around and the next thing I know they guys hit my over the head.
Shit was not cool.
I'm sick of the stereotype that Australia is FULL of dangerous animals and insects.
Food you will eat in Australia will be similar to American food, we don't really have our own food culture unless you want to eat kangaroo (its good for you!). Never been to a hotel here but I'm guessing they'll be ok. Try not to stand out from fair dinkum Aussies because they will pick a fight with foreigners and Lebonese people, just avoid the Lebonese people in general.
The Lebanese are quite intimidating

Well the women here are amazing I can tell you that, the banned crap really isnt that bad I have the uncensored L4D2 and nobody cares. You probably wont see a single aborginie but thats ok your not missing out on much there except the distinct smell of petrol and the "spare a dorra for day train bra?". The only porn thats banned is porn with women who are flat chested, so its not that bad there is women with small breasts but they literely have to be nipples on a ribcage to get banned, they also have to be dressed up like school girls or something. The people here are pretty nice, but the club scene can get violent on rare occasions, but we dont have as many guns here so you wont get shot.
Our accents are pretty cool but we also like American accents, something different I suppose, anyway the main thing is Australians are some of the best looking people on earth so when you get here you will definatly notice that. I hope you enjoy your stay :)

It's mostly just because Australia more of the world's most deadliest creatures than most other places.
We're going to ban you.

They don't sue, they beat the flippin shit out of you. And fade into the public parks.

I have never seen a snake in the wild, and I've lived in Australia all my life, and i've traveled through the desert and shit alot too.
I have seen one dangerous looking spider in the past year.
Go see a footy match (AFL).

Also this talk on snakes, I get a few snakes a year, and I live in very-inner Melbourne.

Really? I've never heard of anyone getting a snake in melb.
Yeah most of the animals here are pretty dangerous, even kangaroos can kill you. Our spiders are small but extremely poisonous which makes them worse because they are harder to see. You should be pretty safe though. And dont touch the blue ringed ocopus, the guy posted a pic of it earlier DONT TOUCH! it will kill you and wont think twice about it.
[QUOTE=3com111;20912603]Do you have diplomatic Immunity?[/QUOTE]
With Australian government, I'm pretty sure we do. but any criminal offenses will result in an immediate one-way trip home, where the local law enforcement agency will decide what to do with us.
Also @ niko: it's going to be tough to not go near the Aborigines considering we're going to meet a few one on one so they can teach us about their culture. What's left of it anyway. And I know for a fact that we aren't staying at Keeshond Dog's house, considering that people actually have to volunteer to have us stay.
I took one of these to Japan. Was fun.
[QUOTE=Mlisen14;20912664]And don't listen to all the stuff being banned crap, the joke is 99% false, we don't have L4D2 or small boobs. We're not missing out on much.[/QUOTE]
So by law all women must have big tits?

Those guys teaching about culture are fine, they're pretty chill.

I think you will be able to spot the difference between the aborigionals we mean and the ones who will teach you about their "culture"

Yes.
I got a letter for this, but I don't feel like spending the cash for it.

Correct, otherwise their partner is a pedophile.
It's the law.
Also, I've seen snakes in very inner-Melbourne too. In summer we get Tiger Snakes down by the Yarra River. No dangerous spiders though (aside from Red Backs which are fucking everywhere all the time)
