Lacksadaisical amabasdress for all things Aussie, Sally T dips a cautious toe into the shallow end of the deep south....and fishes up a feast in her new home town of Durham, North Carolina.
Bringing such Aussie marvels as sausage rolls, "footy", the Cat Empire, and of course the immortal phrase "going off like a frog in a sock," to a city full of unsuspecting Americans, Sal is at Duke University pursuing a deeper understanding of desertification; land-vegetation-atmosphere interactions; and why it is that the landscape makes such very pretty patterns when seen from an aeroplane.

When Nic arrives if you really want people to understand your wacky Australiana, perhaps you should play then this video.
Ah, I had forgotten about that video. Thanks for not putting up the link to what I seem to recall was a very unfortunate photograph taken on the same day.
Meh.
Cat Empire blow and the 'frog in a sock' quip hasn't been used since Silverchair opend up with Israel Son (and they did go off). As for unique quotes, I prefer the following:
Going off like a bucket of prawns in the sun,
Coming back like a bundy shot,
Sweating like John Howard at a charisma contest,
This beer is going down like a 2 dollar mallee-root,
and
This is about as useful as a spare dick.
Jen did suggest that "off like a bride's nightie" was another good'un...
