Oh wait, we Dutchies discovered Australia as well ;-)


How can one discover a country that had been discovered thousands of years earlier? Just like American textbooks telling kids that Columbus discovered America, even though it was inhabited. :)

And kill a large chunk of the inhabitants with your diseases? :D

Anywho Hobart is actually a really nice little city, particularly if you like beer.

Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2013 publication has named Hobart (Tasmania) one of the Top 10 cities in the world to visit in 2013. Hobart is ranked at number 7 in the publication and is the only Australian city on the list.

To be fair he did say he was coming to Australia and not Tasmania.

No one in Australia drinks Fosters, I honestly have no idea how it's even affiliated with this country lol the only time I've ever had it in my life was in England. Jez is the beer man he'll have a liver the size of a soccer ball by the age of 50 but he knows everything about beer :biggrin:

I saw a slab of Fosters in a 93 year old dude's fridge last week. Otherwise yeah I've seen one other guy drinking it and I took a picture to show people. :D

Fosters is (or used to be) the Formula One beer sponsor. So I had a couple when a went to a race once. It wasn't that bad to be honest, just a bit watery and not too much flavor

Fosters was big because Crocodile Dundee did an ad for it in the 80's over in the US. The same ad did the whole shrimp on a barbie **** too. So now cause of that americans who have nfi think we love fosters and call prawns shrimps. :evil:

I don't drink at all during the week and hardly at all on weekends at the moment.

I wait till I go to Adelaide (like next week) and make my brother buy me lots of expensive beer :lol:

There is only one you need to worry about and that is Coopers Pale Ale, best drop around.
