He was on the cover of Time Magazine.
Eat meat pies with tomato sauce (sorta ketchup) at sporting events.
Call red-haired people "bluey".
Laugh uproarishly at anything from Roots (means having sex).

Drink delicious Cascade beer from Tasmania.

Occasionally, we loose a few tourists...they get left out at sea after scuba diving, or taken by Crocodiles, psychopaths and jellyfish.
