I read an unfortunate article
yesterday where another celebrity (Kristen Bell) visited Australia and said something like ‘Sydney airport was disappointing, I thought there would be kangaroos.’
The first kangaroo I saw when I moved to Australia in 2002 was roadkill we drove past on they way to Lyndhurst.
So my point is Yankee people, if you happen to cross an Aussie (which are few and are between considering there are only about 22 million of them on the planet), please don’t make a silly comment about 1. Kangaroos or 2. Steve Irwin… or Fosters. Fosters is the crappest beer there is down under.
For my Aussie mates that I know peep the blog (shout out to Karina, Botchy, Freya, Kerry, Graham, etc!!) … check out the deer eating my Mom’s garden.
None of my Australian people would expect to see a deer at JFK airport, I don’t understand why ‘famous’ Yanks continuously defame our nation by traveling down under and saying stupid shit about kangaroos.
The paddymelons in the photo above are hopping around Daydream Island, part of the Whitsunday islands in north Queensland. The most exciting place I’ve seen kangaroos in Australia is lounging on the golf course about 10 k’s out of Brisbane.
So if you travel to Australia, do yourself a favor and do NOT make a stupid kangaroo or Crocodile Hunter comment (ps. Bindi Irwin is a mess). I suggest asking for a VB and to be pointed in a coastal direction…
Holy shit! Bambi was in your backyard?? And chipmunks?? Awesome!
(We have a possum problem at home. They have actually moved inside the house. If they were chipmunks I would totally let them stay).
Consuelo, it’s animal kingdom over here. Deer are cool as long as they aren’t throwing themselves in front of your car… then we don’t like them… (I agree about the chipmunks, they can come hang anytime)
