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!) Hey the only thing I asked was do they have peanut butter-apparently they do and they call it peanut paste. If I can find peanuts I will make my own and yes I will try vegemite once. I will try just about anything once.
G'day eh!

Just a tease......
Hey guys!
Look it's the beach at Glenelg-sent to me by Evelyn. No she wasn't there but her hubby was. Can't you just smell the salt air? Can't you just hear the sound of the ocean? Can't you feel the negative ions as they wash over you and clear your mind? Visa stuff in this week, mountains of paperwork. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well in bureaucrat land. Now onto more pressing matters-first term report cards. Remember folks life is a beach......hope to see you there!
G'day eh!
