Yeah make sure you take some photos of the opera house and the harbour bridge and Ayers Rock and some utes and hoons and drongoes and shrimps on the barbie and crocs and...
oh... wait... AUSTRIA.
Isn't that where Hitler was from?

The thing about Hitler is, the more I learn of the guy, the more i don't care to much for him.

Wow, deep.
Anyway Vienna was great. Lovely place and I'm going to go back there sometime for sure. It was funny how there were so many Australian pubs out there too. And I met a nice Australian girl also....
Anyway how is everyone?

What's an Australian bar in Austria like? Is it a lot of dingoes eating babies, shrimps on barbies, and 101 other horribly dated Australian stereotypes?
Also, tell me more about this Hitler character, Flyers.

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. The first Australian bar had crocodiles and random Australian number plates all over the walls and stuff. It did sell kangaroo and crocodile burgers though and oddly ostrich burgers......didn't know they were from Oz...
The second Aussie pub was called 'Kanga's', but besides the name wasn't Australian at all. The 3rd one called Travelshack and would have been pretty awesome, were not all the tables reserved... Still it was where I met that great Australian girl, who ontop of many good things introduced me to the Australian word for 'chav'- 'Bogans'.... At least that's how I think it was spelt.
One odd thing about Austria is that rather than have pool tables in pubs they instead have LOADS of Table Football (Fussball) tables. It's quite strange at first!

My experience directly with Chavs is limited... but I've spent a large portion of my life with Bogans. From what I understand they are not the same breed... but certainly the same genus.
And the neo-bogan, arising from the post eminem era, is perhaps closer still to the humble chav. Their propensity to stab being a key character marker.

So what's a hoon then?
Is it like a drongo only more aggressive?
From what I can gather, hoons steal utes.
Pretty aggressive behaviour if you ask me.
Whereas drongoes appear to be too placid and dense to show aggression.

Hahaha...
Well, you're close. But a hoon typically describes a reckless driver - combining the best of breakneck speed, dangerous braking and a great deal of noise. You'd rarely (if ever) find the term describing someone completely externally from the act driving.
A drongo, on the other hand, is a pretty loose term. Mostly though, it would typically describe a low-class drip/sleeze. Someone who is neither smart, nor clean. Probably a drinker and a smoker and one who is unashamedly offensive. Something like my early 20's.
Both terms are not mutually exclusive. But they do have their own specifics.

So what's a Donk?
Gah, he's drinking Fosters... when will they learn that nobody drinks that in Australia!!

Beats the hell out of me... From that vid it seems to be some kind of homosexual sugardaddy punchdrunk bodyguard. It's unfamiliar to me...
And Fosters... yeah, nobody drinks it here. It's almost impossible to get in Australia these days. They own a good deal of the beer sold here, but the fosters logo is very hard to find. It's strictly an international sign nowadays. Though it was very popular here for a long time.

So does that mean Australians wouldn't give a XXXX for anything else?

Well the Australian girl I met (I'm in the process of trying to convince her to come to London sometime at the moment) says that, XXXX is very popular.
