Stubbies - an Aussie clothing brand now specializing in working and school apparel, probably best known for their shorts, the design of which remained unchanged for several decades. And more "also", jumpers have been mentioned in the thread about the croc taking the lawnmower. Jumpers can also, for farmers and other rural folk, refer to kangaroos. I haven't heard it in modern usage but for the 1950s-1960s generations it was a moderately common term.

Couldn't say.
Can say I've been to Paradise, which is just down the road from Nowhere Else.

Actually, they're both just around the corner from the Promised Land (been there too).
All of them are somewhere between Sheffield and Middlesex, and no, I've never been out of Australia...  I've also been to both Kimberly and Perth in the last twelve months, but haven't been out of Tasmania in the last few years.

This is great all I ever learned about Australia is from one episode of the Simpsons, where that Big Can of Foster I saw?
