| Bainland's Full Review: Australia |
It has now been 17 years since I sat up watching Australia at the brink of excitement steal away The America's Cup. Alan Bond's boys moving with the sounds of 'Men At Work' - Land Down Under had done Australia proud.
What was to follow was Australian Promotion everywhere, Don't you remember:
Yahoo Serious This bold young Australian that brought out a film off his own back, Young Einstein. Wacky, Zany, misfit that has all of the world in stitches with his pink Limo's and zany hair.
Or
Vegemite The Black Gold of Australian's homes that appeared in every second food store in America but never seemed to be bought. Go On go back to those stores and ask to see it again, they will be sitting in an old box out the back of the shop collecting dust for the past 15 years.
What about
Paul Hogan His nutty tales of wrestling Crocodiles like his George The Animal Steal, I was always waiting for him to bite off a bit of a Croc's head and find that it was just sponge underneath.
Then you have the big Can of Fosters, and adds trying to teach American's how to speak Australian. Pronouncing that Australian's idea of dating is to be going out with one girl while he sleeps with another.
So as you have a Captain Cook at Australia, you will see the rise of the push into America again with tacky Australian Icon's. Why, because we had the Olympics. So even though we didn't win, we will all believe that it was a victory for Australia. So sit back and enjoy your Fosters and your Vegemite, and enjoy the tacky things to come.
