Not a lot of them though luckily. By and large Australia is pretty light on for any kind of religion, it's often said that sport is our religionOriginally Posted by CAMPYBOB

Damn! You have them down there, too?
We humbly apologize.
The JH were founded in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Not far from here.
Nothing good ever comes out of Pittsburg.

Aussies are too laid back for organised religion, most people would say they are christian but the actual percentage that go to church would be very small.
Speaking of percentages, 22.3% of the population marked "no religion" in the most recent census. And over 65,000 people identified as Jedi.

I still can't figure out Amstel around here. Hillbilly deluxe faux hipster swill? Dos Equis? Mexican **** water. Jing Dow...er...Tsingtao? More **** than their milk and pet foods have in it.
Me? I'm clinging to my guns and religion. And my Campagnolo! And Spudweiser!
No way! Hardly anyone in Australia drinks that filth! That's why we export it all to the UK lol. I actually prefer Budweiser to any of the local beers, though i've switched to Hollandia now as it's cheaper.Originally Posted by jhuskey

Everyone from outside Australia is always getting worked up about the wildlife (and yea sure pretty much everything can kill you) but the weather is a lot more likely to do you in. Any part of the country can get to at least a billion degrees in summer, plus 100% humidity if you're really lucky, and then when the storms come through you lose your house. The storm that went through my state capital a week or two ago is up to 800 and something million dollars damage now.Originally Posted by Volnix
But yeah, if you wake up in Australia, everything is nice and sunny, with killer Jelly fish and Huge sharks swimming around and the oldest church in the whole Continent is 40 years old or something, you would probably take some of these things lightly. Maybe even join JW's too if the beer drinking in the beach was not so good!

Just in time for the Carnival-Bike ride!

And i almost forgot the plants too, there's one called the gympie gympie tree which has stinging hairs on it that release a poison that is apparently "like being burned by hot acid and electrocuted at the same time". And a bad sting can go on for YEARS. And sometimes the hairs detach from the leaves, so you don't even have to touch it, just be within a few metres and then you breathe in the hairs...
I've read a couple of stories about soldiers in WWII getting stung and shooting themselves because the pain was so bad. A few mentions of it killing horses too. I lightly brushed against one of the most benign species on a bike ride a few years ago and even that took nearly an hour to stop stinging.
Yay for Australia!

And to swing it back on topic, the Australian drinking culture and lack of religious restrictions means VERY free minded women.
