Top 10 Things You Don't Want to Do in Australia

Stumbled over this interesting thread in Yahoo Answers about the "Top 10 Things You Don't Want to Do in Australia".

Sorted some. Chose those I liked best.

Here goes:
10. Don't eat a meat pie with a fork and knife
9. Don't wear only a bathing suit while diving along the Great Barrier Reef
8. Don't forget the hat and sunscreen
7. Don't hitch a ride in the outback
6. Don't call a koala " koala bear"
5. If you have an american or canadian accent don't even try the " g'day mate".
4. Don't act surprised when you find out that we don't keep kangaroos in our backyards as pets.
3. Don't molest a Koala
2. Don't pronounce Brisbane as "Brisbay-ne".... it's "Brisbn"!!
1. Don't pick-up a fight with kangaroos. They are real good boxers.

Thanks for this Jesse... I'm in the process of packing up and moving to Aus, so I'm glad you gave me these tips!
