If there's one thing Aussies love its Vegemite. Vegemite is a
yeast extract and if you are not from Australia and have tried it
you probably don't like it but us Aussies love it. You can have it
on toast ,crumpets ,sandwiches. It is usually liked spread on
quite thinly . If you haven't tried it I would suggest you at
least give it a try.
Victa Lawnmower
The good old Aussie victa mower can be found in the
majority of Australian garden sheds. It may sound unusual for a
lawnmower to be such a recognised item of a countries culture but
the old victa surely is true blue dinky di Aussie.
Meat Pies
We love our meat pies ,covered in Tomato sauce . A
pie and chips is not an unusual lunch for the average Australian.
Hills Hoist
What you ask is a Hills Hoist well it is a
clothesline of course not just any clothesline it is the
clothesline of all clotheslines with a variety of uses. Firstly
and obviously you can hang your clothes on it to dry .It can also
be used for shelter when you are having a backyard barbie and the
skies open up and rain on your parade ,just throw a tarp over the
clothesline instant shelter. They can also be used for A
hoist for the car motor when nothing else is available. A very
popular use for the hills hoist is a swing for the kids they will
find amusement for hours swinging around on the clothesline it is
frowned upon by the adults but until they find out the kids will
swing their hearts out .
Holden Cars
Holden would have to be the most popular car
manufacturer of cars in Australia this is my opinion only but
Holden have been around for many a year . Many family photos
consist of Dad sitting back in his pride and joy the FJ Holden.
Akubra
The easiest way of explaining the Akubra is it is
much like a cowboy hat great to keep the sun off your neck and
face .
