Someone emailed this to me. Thought I might just share them with everyone.
These were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website officials, who obviously have a great sense of humour (not to mention a low tolerance threshold for cretins!)
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 on 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: 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: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.
Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia ? (UK)
A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do...

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.

hhaha that was clever!! I can just see some Americans asking questions like that hehe
Oh good heavens! Those silly people! And I thought only Americans are that clueless about anything outside their shores! I love Ozzie humour! It's reflected in everything from Mambo clothes to Two Dogs alcoholic lemonade! Ozzies rule!
Victor darl,
Now, now...don't be unkind. We hope Lara Bingle would do a good job in luring tourists to our shores. hmm...perhaps they should appoint me instead, eh? purrr.....
CO78,
Yeah! That's what we call positive thinking. The world is already a bad place so we might as well laugh. Laughter will heal the world, we hope. purrr....meow!

Mamasita dear,
I think they all fall under the same category as people who say Malaysians live on trees...teeheehee... though the behaviour of some people will make you think that maybe there's some truth there.
Anyway, back home, my Mama was confronted with an acquitance who wanted her to check on his sister who now lives in Australia. When asked where she lives, his answer was: Perth. Duh? meow!
hahaha...good one..i'm not sleepy anymore..

Aunty Anne,
That's why we love this country. People are relaxed and easy going. If you're in a fix, they'll just say: No worries, mate!
What a life...purrr...meow!
Retrogina,
How have you and PiPi been? Long time no see and hear, mate. It's been hot over here and even in the mountains it's been over 30oC. We're praying for no bush fire this year. purrr....meow!
Dear Kitties,
Pls tell your Mama I said sorry I forgot! Here is the wishlist:
FNBKL would prefer donors to share surplus and unwanted goods rather than go out and purchase more items. FNBKL’s wishlist at the moment is as follows:
1. Drink dispenser unit, min 10-litre capacity.
2. Insulated food/beverage storage unit, min. 10-litre capacity (i.e those upright plastic coolers used by roadside stalls, sufficient for 50 portions of cooked rice)
3. Large lidded tupperwares / food containers.
4. Biodegradable dishwashing liquid – veggie waste enzyme requested!
5. Surplus fruits and vegetables from your garden.
6. Cooked vegetarian food or beverages. Please call to inform at least a day in advance to ensure less wastage.
Thank you, Kitties and Mama!
