I was just wondering, as these boards get more or less constant flow of posts all day, and either people in the US/Canada are up all night or there are others in other parts of the world. So, anyone else from Australia or the region?

WeeMadAndo and Vympel are the two I can think of off the top of my head.
I want to be one too one day, but I have yet to work out exactly how.

Anyway, I'm not there now, so it really doesn't help you out. I do however occasionally stay up waaaaaaaaaay later than I should, almost as if I was back in Ostraya.

Yup that's right Zaia;
I'm Aussie. This is Australia calling. I come from a land down under. All that jazz.

Vegemite is gross, and I'm fairly sure the company that makes it has been brought out by some overseas company.

Vegemite = Ick
Nutella = Yum
Boags = Yay
Milo = Mmmm
Freddo Frogs =
Unlike Ewo, I was only there for 6 months, but I still miss it sooooo much. I need to find a mail-order Aussie husband so I can become a citizen, since I don't think Ando will marry me. Bonehead.

What is vegemite made of?
I have heard of it and know it is a sandwich spread, but what is it?

Yeast extract, I think. It originated because it was the leftover crap from making beer, if I remember correctly. It's REEEEEEEEEALLY salty and all around nasty. Bleck.

Yep it is made of yeats extract. And it is really one of the most disgusting substances known to man.

I know plenty of single Aussie guys
But they all live in Adelaide, and it isn't that great a place.

So where do they sell it? I'm going in about a week, and from the descriptions I wanna try it out.

In Australia you can buy it in just about any supermarket. If you are gonna try it, be warned don't spread it thickly like nutella, spread it thin.
