If you've studied in Australia, then you understand

28 July 2014

So, you want to study in Australia? Get ready for the time of your life! Those who are currently at an Australian university, and those who are headed there, know there are many Aussie stereotypes—yep, we’ve heard it all:

  • Put another shrimp on the barbie (except Aussies don’t say “shrimp.” They’re called “prawns!”)
  • Fair dinkum!
  • She’ll be right, mate!
  • Chuck a sickie
  • Grinning like a shot fox
  • Kangaroos loose in the top paddock…

But what do we really like? Great photos! If you’ve studied in Australia, then the following photos should be almost identical to yours!

1. You definitely took a photo like this:
