There were a few rough-looking ones that must have seen the end of a fist. And with that Aussie sun, I bet the oldest one wasn’t over fifty. LOL

A friend of mine worked in Australia back in the 80s, and he said that a sure way to piss off Aussies was to tell them that even though they spoke English, they were still a third-world country.

“Australian pubs once had a reputation the world over as tough, brawling, hell for leather places where you could get into a fight at the drop of a hat.”

If somebody tells you to “F-— off”....do it!

I like the twins at the end, very “noice”. I don’t get it though, why would turning your glass upside down get you into a fight?

Hell for leather is not and never was a thing. The idiom was hell bent for leather and it described being in a hurry not in a bar.

It was still a thing four years ago.

Many men in the farming community were I spent three months would go to a bar and get into fights.

The fights were not, generally, unbounded, but somewhat friendly contests. The fights were voluntary.

Still, I remember one of my friends, a married man about 35, got his arm injured enough it affected his work performance for a couple of weeks.

Just show up.

I have some Australian friends that used to get pissed every time I said “A dingo ate my baby!” in a fake Australian accent in the early Aughts (~2003).

I often got the reply “That’s not funny, it really happened!”

"I don't need a gun...... I've got a Donk"

We recently watched the movie The Dressmaker on Prime. It is set in the Australian Outback. It is a really good movie. The executive producer is P.J. Hogan, a fur piece from Dundee
