Petition to get this thread added to the c-bomb probation exclusion zone as here in Oz it's not profanity, it's punctuation.

Of course the highlight of the Royal Melbourne Easter Show for every kid was the showbags, which were always stuffed full of lollies and toys. There's several huge pavilions that are dedicated to selling nothing but showbags every year and it's not uncommon to see families walking around at the end of the day loaded down with a dozen or more showbags. Most of them are filled with cheap overprices crap and they usually cost between $5 for the garbage tier showbags up to $15 or $20 for the good ones all the way up to $100 for some of the fancy ones with expensive branded stuff

Same for the Adelaide Show (pretty sure it's just 100% the Melbourne show packed up onto trucks and moved across the border) and I'm fairly sure I've still got a whole bunch of showbag toys in a toy chest at my mum's place somewhere. For some reason I was always after the themed ones that had cheap plastic toys rather than candy. The highlight for me was when I was about 8 because I got the Pirate showbag, the Cop showbag and the Army showbag, which contained among other things a plastic telescope, uzi, and M16 respectively, and then gaffer taped them together in some sort of a supergun with a sight on top because my incredibly permissive parents let my tiny rear end watch Aliens on VHS and watching Ripley cobble together the flamethrower and pulse rifle near the end blew my tiny mind.

Hog's breath curly fries are great, but literally the only thing worth eating there.

There are much better places that do curly fries and decent food in general, op.

Oh no doubt - although I don't know of any good places in Adelaide that do curly fries. But why go to a place like that when you could go for some Uyghur and eat your body weight in delicious meats.

I have a friend who is from Oz, and I asked him a very important question:

Which band is a bigger bunch of cunts? Acdc or Inxs?

A: What is your opinion on the subject?

B: What do you think his response was?

Sounds like someone's never heard of Cold Chisel.

This leads me to a question:

Without going too obscure, who are the "Australiana" bands that never got big outside of Australia? And I am more thinking bands that didn't translate to foreign audiences, as opposed to bands that were just not good enough to get famous overseas.

As mentioned there is TISM, and Cold Chisel. But who else are/were superstars in Oz, but nobodies overseas?

I would posit Crowded House as a band that fits this criteria. As well as possibly Savage Garden and Human Nature. Darryl Braithwaite also qualifies as a local superstar who would be unknown anywhere else.

Savage garden were known enough overseas that when I lived in mainland China in 1998 in a place provincial enough that I was asked to confirm/deny the rumour circulating around the university students that my mother taught as to whether or not Elton John was gay, there were students who had heard of them and were fans.

Remarkably tasty once you get past the mindfuck of tasting a flavour you associate with a soft cake when putting something crunchy that you expect to be salty and savoury in your mouth.
