I assume from your recent comments that you are from SA, in SA you get a return of 5cents if you recycle it to a depo.


10 cents now. and why would it be paid for in can money?

Australia is being perceived as being another state of America

i have never heard of this stereotype. and it is completely untrue.

I'd like to know about the stereotypes associated with different parts of Australia.


Well here is one from the prespective of someone for New South Wales

Western Australia: largest state in size but has a small population compared to its size, when Australia became a Federation they did not want to Federate(sooks of Australia) Full of miners

Northen Tertitery: Run by the government was originaly apart of South Australia, full of Aboriginals and the ARMY trying to help the Aboriginals(Good hunting). Full of Aboriginals

South Australia: First state to let women vote(Mistake....not really) Considered to be full of drop kicks. Drops kicks

QueensLand: Rivels to NSW in the state of origen football, introduced the American caintoad to eat a beatle that was destorying crops turns out that the toads are worse then the beatles. alcoholic

Australian Capital Tertitery: Couldnt deicied if the capital should be in Sydeny or Melbourne so they decied to go half way and make a city. Contains all Australias polititons and i think is the only tertitery that allows the possesion of POT also fireworks are leagle to the public here and also pornography is easy to aquire. POT heads/polititions

Victoria: Very cold recently effected quite bad by bush fires, tends to be alot more cleaner then other states not to bad in general just they cant drive.....(to cold)

Tasmania: Located off the mainland which has affected the population greatly as they are abnormal and tend to interbread with themselves, home of Uncle Chopper Reads or as some of the locals call him uncle chop chop.(inbreads)

New Zealand: Australias second island, great for a holiday but i would never live there, things tend to happen when the British Empire cannot defeat the local inhabitants which was a great surpise to everyone, they enjoy migranting to the mainland of Australia and are associated with sitting around all day drinking and beating there wifes and grooming sheep.(Sheep shaggers)

New South Wales: Home of every race known to man, lots of immigrants, home of the Cronulla riots(Ashamed of that) largest state in population and major city.(Top blokes)

Well, Tasmania is rumored to be incest.
WA, nothing worth speaking about.
Same with SA.
NT same again.

DROP KICKS! I'll drop kick you!

New Zealand: Australia's second island

it is actually it's own country.

you are being extremely rude about your country. as are you Zaork.

Efan thank you in helping show the two different types of sterotypes of Australia. Someone who can have a laugh about his own country and someone who cannot.

I can see where that's coming from.

I live in Auckland. No sheep here, no snow, no mountains, no forests. No crap.

I though that Finland was the one who was "lefted outside" of "the Scandinavian gang".
Maybe their both out in some sorta way...


Nah, only the Finish language is "outside". And good to see some Scandinavian people on AG.

You aren't really "outside", Sweden is actually mostly jealous of Finland, and Norway too. If you know what happen one hundred years ago, if you know what I mean...

KFK, Does Sweden, Iceland, Finland and/or Denmark <--- (I just don't know >__&lt have any "national" cat?
I was just wondering, because Norway is having that Norweigian Forest cat as their national cat, I think.


Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?
Wuut, wut, wut, whhhhuuuuuuuuuuut?

Emm...where did you find this information...?

Denmark does not, as far as I know. We do have two horse breeds, however. And a high number of hens, if I remember correctly. A few dog breeds as well, mainly fowl dogs for hunting.
The usual cat breed around, if we don't count the specially bred ones, would be the farm cat/feral cat/outdoor kitteh. Many farms have a few cats running around without any special breed of sorts, they take care of mice and so, and tend to like the warmth of the stable/shed/whatever the building for animals is called, usually nesting in the hay.

We (as in Sweden) gave away Finland their independence about that time. Norway too.

So yes, Norway is now one of the worlds richest countries, and Finland has it good things too, so you get why you can regret that decision.

@Cenere

Thanks for "enlightening" me.

Does Sweden, Iceland, Finland and/or Denmark <--- (I just don't know >__&lt have any "national" cat?


I don't think we have any national cat.

But a dog there is, Jämthund (Swedish Elkhound).
