Welcome, Foreigners!

For whatever reason, a significant chunk of this site's readership has lately come from Australia and New Zealand. At first I thought it was because of that thing I wrote about Paul Hogan and the kiwi bird, but now I'm not so sure. Whatever the case, the onus is on me to make them feel welcome, and the best way to do that, I think, is to tell my more northerly readers everything I know about those two enchanted nations. For instance, did you know...

• The only crime committed by the original inhabitants of the prison colony that came to be known as Australia (or, as the natives like to call it, "The Little Dipper") was the crime of loving too much?
• New Zealand's world reknowned butter and honey, both considered perhaps the world's finest, are made out of sheep, also considered perhaps the world's finest?
• The image on the Australian $10 bill is of Olivia Newton John wrestling a crocodile?
• Mr. Crocky, the 950 pound crocodile pictured with Olivia Newton John on the $10 bill, was mayor of Brisbane from 1988-1994?
• The city of Christchurch is neither a Christ nor a church? Nor is Charlotte Church* an actual church?
  

And that, I'm afraid, is the limit of my knowledge. Better luck next time.

* Oops. Charlotte Church is Welsh. I thought she was New Zealandish. Oh well.
