12 Really, Really Weird Things Only Aussies Would Do
Us Aussies are a weird bunch. Honestly.
Like, how many times do you walk into your local Woolies/Coles and not even bat an eyelid at someone picking at some ‘free’ grapes while not wearing any shoes? And I bet if someone said the words ‘barking dog man’ you’d know exactly who they were referring to.
So speaking of things Aussies do (that most of us consider totally normal), we’ve rounded up some of the weirdest.
1. Steal a traffic cone off the side of the road to take home
2. Hang a sack of wine to a clothesline
3. Drink alcohol out of a shoe
4. Mix chocolate and Vegemite
5. Make coffee in an avocado
6. Have a national debate about sausage sandwiches, even getting the prime minister to weigh in
I love Australia so much. In what other place would the nation's leader be asked about a hardware store changing its policy on charity sausages – a journo just asked Scott Morrison about the Bunnings sausage/onion drama pic.twitter.com/gbMN90tSZA

7. Have an obsession with really, really big things
8. Saying “Yeah, nah” to disagree with something
9. Leave a beer out for Santa instead of milk and cookies
10. Shorten every phrase possible
11. Walk around barefoot like it’s no big deal
Nothing is more Melbourne than a 16 year old with no shoes and socks standing in front of a tram yelling the lyrics of an aussie hip hop song about having a barbecue
