For a nation who has a poplualation of 20 million and a modern history of 200 years these achievmenst are not bad.

Pretty cool! I don't know how proud I would be of the speedo and vegimite though! Then again, I am just another arrogant Yank!

Wearing spedos and eating vegimite cures arrogance........lol

We dont think yanks are arrogant, thats why we dont export vegimite there.

Its tough to think of a "better" use for beer SLUDGE!

Benny, That list reminds me of the QSL (ham radio) cards I used to get from the USSR, They claimed to have invented everything. By the way I was raised on Marmite (invented by the way 1902) I am sure you know that Vegamite pales in comparison. :D

Ever seen a yank spread vegemite for the first time, it's so funny, giv'em the jar and they will spread it like jam, 1/4" thick. The funniest thing is then watching them raise the toast to there mouth and take a bite. The look on the face is priceless, Hee, Hee.
