Townsville is a "Mining Community" in other words if you want to see a Stereo Typed Aussie there is no better place than Townsville. In other words Fit or F&^k off is their motto they work hard, they drink even harder, they drive Either a Ford Falcon, Holden HSV Commodores or Utes their best mate is Dazza who is married to Shazza, They drink VB or XXXX, they smoke "Winnie" Blues or Reds and will do anything for a mate, they watch Cricket in summer and Footy in winter, they don't even take to kindly to "Townies" unless you've lived their for more than 10 years. Ohh and they use Toilet paper when they take a S*&T....

Crazy! ... but ...
For a while I removed the bum hoses from my site office toilets as I was p!ssed off at going for a poo and finding the seat, floor, walls and ceiling - yes, ceiling wet from the previous user.
Once I got assurance from the 'users' that they would respect the facility for ALL to use I put them back.
Did you Google it first?
LOL,
It must the British point of view.
Sand and leaves, that is like scalping your skin with sandpaper.....
Hmmm Ausie way to cleaning your shite is to take some wool..Too much of it in the country..I guess..
Any other suggestions?

The Aussies are used to being on the beach or in the bush.. So the "Australian way" probably nmeans sand or leaves..
Hmm, the word hygiene is used a bit loosly isnt it?
