You don't know much about Australian history do ya mate? Prior to building the Outback Fence in 1974, Australian progress was slowed down by bands of wild kangaroos, which would go into test labs and kick over prototype roundies with their strong feet. Heck, everybody knows that the Valiant Charger R/T was created just so Australian citizens could flee the crazed 'roo attacks!



After the "great fence" was finished, Australian society entered a golden age, not only perfecting Coluor TV, but inventing things like gigantic cans of beer...



music...



food..



women...



And finally, this obnoxious fool...







No charge for the history lesson Sandy
