I am Kerry Packer and nobody, not even Murdoch, dares to stand up to me.

Kerry Packer died long ago R101.

So you think R103

I would have been more scared of Dame Edna than Packer.

I'm a boxing kangaroo and I'm going to kick your ass.

I'm Nellie Melba.

I'm one of those humongous Huntsman spiders you've heard about. I live in the curtains of your hotel room.

I'm Rupert Murdoch - you all know what I've done.

UK here.

I don’t know if they still do this, but years ago there was an annual Bachelors and Spinters’ Ball at Alexandra Palace in London, for ex-pat Australians.

It was a very fancy affair, everyone in evening dress, the ladies in ballgowns. Of course, everyone got totally wankered on drink.

It was so fancy there was a Vomit Corner. And then back to the dancing. Australians really know how to party.

^Spinsters!

I'm the highly necessary ritual of shaking my shoes free of any potentially venomous creatures before putting them on.

[quote]I’m the creepy restaurant owner who comes to a flyeroverstan city

We don't have flyoverstan cities. Any place that is called a city is either a capital city or within two hours' drive of one. And two hours is nuthin' in Australia.

I’m that opera house everyone oohs and awws about.

I’m the poor soul cowering in a corner from the humongous spider on my ceiling. I’d run outside but there are poisonous snakes in my garden, man eating sharks, stone fish and blue ringed octopi in my seas. Everything wants to kill you here.

I’m how every statement sounds like a question.

I'm "That Fucking Lady" - the incomparable Coral Browne. When I was married to Vincent Price, we were known as Commerce and Industry because we'd promote anything as long as we got paid.

I was long (and lovingly) known for my industrial-strength profanity and for the lesbian love scene in "The Killing of Sister George."

Her love affairs with men and women were the stuff of legend: "When Coral was near death, the local priest asked Vincent if she had any favorite hymns. And Vincent said 'Yes, she had some favorite hymns. She had quite a few hers as well',"

I'm the 18th goodbye, when you can finally hang up the telephone.

I'm Jeannie Little, darling.

I give you Adelaide R131

You’re too kind.

Olivia Newton-John - It’s Always Australia For Me (1988)

[quote]I'm Nellie Melba.

Well, you were half right.

R139, I can see why you'd call Adelaide Flyoverstan geographically, but its ethos is not drastically unlike that of the bigger eastern cities (apart from the occasional but innovative murdering, for which it is justly famous). Every two years it runs the nation's premier cultural festival, to which arty types from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne flock in droves. Hence my confusion.

Alice Springs is only a town, as are most regional centres.

I descended from convicts.

I'm a meat pie.

R144 - well, to be fair - so were a lot of Americans.

The American Revolution of 1776 meant that transportation to North America was no longer possible. Sentences of transportation were still passed, with convicts held in prison while the government considered alternative destinations. The prisons soon became overcrowded and extra accommodation had to be provided in derelict ships (or hulks) moored in coastal waters. The solution was to develop new penal colonies in modern day Australia, and on 13 May 1787 the first fleet set sail.

And there was a lot of immigration from England and other European countries post WW2. Not convicts.

No, not a lot of Americans. Avery small number of the overall colonial settlement numbers. Utterly different from the Aussie experience.

R146 When will the quiz be, professor?

I'm a violet crumble!

Violet Crumble is my new drag name.

That’s Violet Beauregard Crumble to you.

Hi Cordelia!

I would not call Adelaide flyover like it was a place to avoid on purpose. It's remote but gorgeous, and the attitudes of locals are genuinely friendly.

It's more West than East in character. SA is starting to gain some recognition as a destination in itself because of the Barossa Valley and Kangaroo Island which has just been voted as having one of the world's best beaches. The SA Premier is also handsome.

I'm the Granville train disaster of 1977.

I'm the movie and book, On The Beach, by Nevil Shute.

R153 is way overthinking things….

It took them decades to get rid of me…

I'm Miss Fisher!

I'm mentally unstable musical star Debbie Byrne.

Adelaide has a history of antigay violence and weird serial killers. Definitely flyover in the Australian context.

Plus there's this guy

I adore Troy, he's like a character out of "Strictly Ballroom"

R161 I can get all of that just by going around the corner. His shop seems dull…

R161 - LOL - that guy is unintentionally hilarious.

Each room is customized for each client - temperature and lighting control and even you can listen to your own music. So basically, they have adjustable AC, lights on dimmers and a cheap portable stereo. Wow! Such luxury!

I'm Simon Abney-Hastings, 15th Earl of Loudon, living out in Wangaratta.

Those House of Plantagenet lovers believe I'm the rightful heir to the throne!

[quote] The 48-year-old is a direct descendent of George Plantagenet, the brother of Edward IV and Richard III, through his grandmother, Barbara Huddleston Abney-Hastings. Some historians have claimed that Edward was illegitimate and that George, as the eldest legitimate son, should have inherited. In 2004, a Channel 4 documentary entitled Britain’s Real Monarch asserted that Michael Abney-Hastings, the current earl’s father, was, as George Plantagenet’s eldest heir, the rightful king of England.

Probably half of Datalounge is related to the Plantagenets as much as this guy. They weren't as fertile as Genghis Khan but they 've been leaving large litters of children for a lot longer.

We're Men at Work

I'm Michael Pate. I went to Hollywood and played Indians.

I know a really hot Aussie=Americano hybrid. Exhibitionist too. He rarely returns to Australia.

I'm a Chicken Crimpy

I'm Rottnest Island.

You don't wanna know.

I'm the Tamam Shud case.

I’m Rupert Murdoch. I’m a sack of crap that refuses to die or be content fucking up his own shithole country. Everyone on the planet hates me and I got honeypotted by an ugly Chinese spy and sold half the country to them. I’m a horrible person who will fry in hell for eternity plus infinity.

I’m also a duck-billed platypus. I’m ridiculous but cute.

I’m Errol. Flynn from Tasmania

We're Air Supply.

R174 - yes, but a lot of collaborators with Murdoch - that's the thing. There are those who willingly go along with it. All traitors.

I'm on the highway to hell.

I'm a Chiko Roll

Many people think I'm "swoon-worthy," but in reality, I am pretty weird looking.

Now I want Tim Tams!

ask Cate Blanchett

R175 I’m from Tasmania too!

[quote]Now I want Tim Tams!

R183 have you ever had the Dark Chocolate Tim Tams? They're amazing, not as sweet as the normal ones, they're just right

My local pie shop sells British sweets. I wonder if they have any Tim Tams.

Let’s not…the rest of the English-speaking world.

I'm a Tim Tam explosion.

[quote]I’m also a duck-billed platypus. I’m ridiculous but cute.

And venomous. Forget that at your peril.

Koalas are not venomous but they've mostly got chlamydia. Tasmanian devils are much cuter than portrayed in the US cartoon, but pat them and they'll take your hand off.

There is really nothing here you can pet once it's weaned apart from the sheep.

R190 you can pet anything in Australia! Taipans, salt water crocs, Eastern Browns, funnel web spiders, cassowaries, etc. Yes, in some cases, you will only pat them once

"I know you're all important, but I don't know who the fuck you are"

Ms Rivers then proceeds to tell the guests to look for Tom Cruise under the tables.

Speaking of the Logies they must be the most useless award ever invented. No wonder Joan throws hers away as soon as she gets it.

270 frontier massacres over 140 years of Australian history, as part of a state-sanctioned and organised attempts to eradicate First Nations people

I'm the millions killed because they're black and useless, it's still going on, see Aborigine babies use as target practice.

[quote]Speaking of the Logies they must be the most useless award ever invented. No wonder Joan throws hers away as soon as she gets it.

They are both coveted and derided within the industry. The AACTA awards are the real TV and film awards.

That said, Rivers accepted money plus an all expenses paid trip to Australia to guest on the Logies. Nobody forced her to be associated with them. So it was a pretty graceless performance. Susan Seaforth Hayes was three times as funny.

They couldn’t find an Australian to host Jeopardy Australia?

No, I suppose not.

They give awards for Loogies?!

🤢

Isn’t that just reruns of UK Jeopardy!?

I’ll take Footy for 600, Alex.

I'm the "Preferential Voting System" where you have to put everyone on the ballot in the order you'd want them to represent you.

I'm Number 96.

I'd be Australian as long as I didn't have to live in Canberra.

I'm the only country in the world where it's actually the hot guys who wear the bikini bathing suits.

I'm Humphrey B Bear.

I'm a monitor lizard. An Australian friend who lives by the beach had one of these visit. Scary so he called Animal Control to ship it out.

I'm the mandatory voting. One of Australia's best ideas. (Yet they still vote in some conservative assholes - which shows a bit about the Ozzie character.)

I was there during an election - lines wrapping around the block but not really much complaining.

I wish we had that in the States.

R231, is Number 96 any good?

Was groundbreaking for its time but also had camp moments.

I'm Cussons Imperial Leather soap.

I'm Jack Thompson, the sex symbol of the 1970s.

Shydney!

R247 here. I meant to type out-cunted…damned autocorrect 😒

I'm the 2000 Sydney Olympics!

R186 I like the dark choc ones, also the double-choc coated ones. I tried a regular Tim Tam before and it was so good. They disastrously tweaked the recipe a while back, made them too sweet with a slightly waxier texture. This latest batch tastes good with just the right amount of saltyness to offset the sweetness.

The Tim Tams might have been for export if they were so sweet?
