How to speak PROPER Australian...

We do, although until I did a quick google search I would have said 'No'.
Apparently they are mostly in New South Wales (the state Sydney is in), with one in Queensland (where Brisbane is).
There are none where in my home state of Victoria (where Melbourne is, and the centre of the universe)

Tragically, there's a slight threat of me having to go the Oz. Fear not, I'm coming up with a solid list of reasons not to.

I'm sure my cousins could come here!

I'm an heliophobic agoraphobic who doesn't watch sports. Tell me about your beer. And get it right! (don't use the words cold, lager or pi55)

Well, as with most places in the world, craft beers is where its at. Buy mainstream, and its mostly pretty boring.
Coopers, james squires or little creatures are the pick of the more mainsteam stuff.

Im drinking mountain goat steam ale right now, which is a personal fave, but theres a crapload of good beers here with actual flavour.
Anything by feral brewery is good, but harder to get.

What sorta beer are you into?

.... they don't do 'real ale' there. Not proper beer.
.... Why do New Zealanders think Aussies are primitive when it comes to brews? I mean, New Zealanders are sensible, reasonable, intelligent human beings, who appreciate good things....... so why would they think that?

Now here.... we've got Badgers Ales. Do I need to say more?

Much like the kiwis, a lot of our top selling beers are low on taste. Not quite as bad a state of affairs as in the usa, but still.
But there is real beer here. Plenty of it.

If you are coming to melbourne, try somewhere like this...

Yeah I think so.

Fosters in America could be called the 'big can'. (the can is larger than our standard cans)


Btw badger i'm american

Male platypus have a poisonous spur. Having said that, they're so far down the list of things to worry about, they dont make the cut.
Drop bears are MUCH more dangerous.

Oh, and I'd prefer if Fosters was not referred to as Australian. Or beer, for that matter. Cat wee in a can.
