Sorry, no roos

I noticed in the souvenir shops in Austria many items like shopping bags that said No kangaroos in Austria! I thought I knew what they meant but confirmed this with a salesman - when people come back from vacation and say they've been in Austria, the first thing they are asked is Did you see any kangaroos?

Forewarned is forearmed.

Huh … what does that mean for koalas? Wombats?

There’s still the big coral reef, right?

Can you get a Foster’s lager to wash down the Linzer torte??

Hmmm… I wonder whether Australia sells t-shirts saying ‘no Sachertorte’.

This reminds me of when I was a kid, at a family party. My cousin said he'd just returned from Hawaii, and a friend of the family asked, "Did you visit any of the islands while you were there?".

Nope, stayed completely on the mainland.
