13. You believe it makes perfect sense for a nation to decorate its highways with large
fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep.

17. You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big

30. You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose.
31. You understand that "you" has a plural and that it's "youse".
32. You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle.
33. Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules for beach
cricket.
34. You shake your head in horror when companies try to market what they call
"Anzac cookies".
35. You still think of Kylie as "that girl off Neighbours".
36. When returning home from overseas, you expect to be brutally strip-searched
by Customs - just in case you're trying to sneak in fruit.

43. And you will immediately forward this list to other Australians, here and
overseas, realising that only they will understand.
