I have some old friends back home (in Linköping), who are going to Australia soon. So we'll throw them a party (or they will throw us, I don't know, but there will be a party).
So what do you know about australia? Please let me know all the important facts so I can let them know about it, and perhaps prevent them from getting lost somewhere or bitten by a snake/spider/croc/croc-hunter.
thanks.

hm... the thing is the party is this weekend (and I think it will be the last time I see them before they leave)...
So I don't think I will have enough time to do that, but thanks for the tip.

omg LOL high five on round the twist hahahahahahahahahah dude!
Umm if you're walking in thich bushes stamp your feet so snakes think youre a huge ass beast and won't bite you (this is true) umm wear shitloads of sunblock if youre in the sun, be careful to swim in safe areas only (ie between flags).
I dunno, it's pretty much like everywhere else it's not liek a bushland everywhere only in the middle. where no one lives haha.
but yeah just remember you get really burned really easily.

if they decide to go bush walking, make sure you tell them to stamp their feet if they dont want to be bitten by snakes.......stamping feet = vibrations = snakes scared = no getting bitten = scaring the natural wildlife away = bad if you want to see natural bush animals

When walking in the bush, stamp your feet to ward off enemy snakes, for they are afraid of feet. It doesnt matter if no one around you is stomping, that just means they want snakes to bite them. If you do happen to get bitten by a snake, common procedure is to lie down on the ground, hold your foot and scream, then tell your loved ones you will miss them.

Dont bother buying a car when your there, you can always hitch a ride in a kangaroo.
To snag a kangaroo, simply sneak up behind one and step on its tail, preventing its escape. Once caught, you must find its pouch, undo the zip and hop in - only one person per pouch, mind! The kangaroo can be steered tugging specific nipples located within the pouch, known as 'steering nips', and you can accelerate by moving side to side in a rapid motion. Once you have reached your destination, you have but to command the kangaroo to stop, and it shall do so. Be sure to park your kangaroo where you can find it again later.

oh I know :)
bad news though, this excellent party has been moved to another place... It will now be held at this guy's appartment (and he's known to host nice parties).
But I will probably have less control over the music now, since somebody lives where we'll be partying.
But I am very much looking forward to going home and meet the crew.
I don't know the peeps going to Aus so very well, they are more friends of my best (back home) friends.
