Yea you need to learn a foreign language and what not. You sure you want to do that.
They also drink fosters beer, which you have to buy from the local 7/11.
Cool.

Buddha, I don't know any one who drinks fosters, I'd rather drink bleach.

You do realize they don't speak English over there, right? 

I hope you can speak Australian.   

Puh-lease, Your the one that can't speak English. 

Anyway assuming you want to go to a half decent uni your going to be going to either NSW or VIC or maybe even canberra (Australian capital territory). I only really know about nsw universities. If i were you id go to USYD (thats where i happen to go  ) or UWS. Both have more of a social life , and a lower % of Asians. (Im not racist, ive got alot of asian friends. but interms of having a social life in and around uni thats not their forte  ). Also have heard good things about the social scene in melbourne and canberra. Anyway whatever you decide, Good luck! You'll enjoy it for sure.

I guess it's only fair.  I suppose we only send you our crappiest beers too. 
What DO you drink?  Any good local micros? 

Yeah I have a good micro out in my shed. I brew my own beer. 



Here they are wrapped up for bed in the middle of winter 

EXCELLENT!!!    What's your favorite type to brew?  Do your brew from a kit or from scratch?

Is that where they got the recipe for Rolling Rock?  If so, that's not very good either....

...only people who read bottles will know anything about that...

Tasmania is good if you like the wilderness, bush walking, Australias back water. Not much happens in Tasmania.

Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane are the places to be for city life. North Queensland (Cairns, Townsville) if your looking for a tropic escape.

i do like wilderness im going to be going for natural resources management

Mate then Tassy might be right for you!

University of Western Aus has alot of mining degrees and has alot of mine close by. I am pretty sure it has close ties with BHP Billiton.
