I like that you explained the platypus. I didn’t expect it to be a coin so that was surprising. Thanks for sharing this.

Hi Stacey,
I love reading about Australian BBQ. You guys cook food differently than we do, and seeing the BBQ on your list made me look up some recipes to try here.
You can keep the Vegemite, though!

Steve Irwin was a great Aussie. I’m surprised he never got bitten by a croc!!!
