17 Aussie-Only Things The Rest Of The World Won't Get
So, today I'm here to debunk this ~conspiracy~ — not with a world map or any explanation about our history but with a list of experiences that only exist in Australia. "Walking around with your dogs (toes) out and touching bare concrete." "Swapping dinners with whoever's sitting next to you at a wedding." "Eating crisp potato wedges with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream." — u/lewin11This is actually an insanely delicious combo and it breaks my heart that not everyone's experience it. A hot potato wedge that has a perfectly fried crust, dipped into cold sour cream and sweet chilli sauce is TRULY tangy, sweet and satiating. "Drinking a lemon lime and bitters anywhere that serves it." "Slapping beetroot on a burger and accepting its presence in each bite." "Half-flushing the toilet after peeing." Cheering "hip, hip, hooray" after singing someone "Happy Birthday". Voting during political elections is compulsory. Saying "heaps", "I reckon" and adding "but" to the end of sentences. — u/Nebs90, u/flintmichigantropics "We also are the only ones who use 'but' at the end of our sentences. 'It's the same size but' or 'it's not that interesting but'. When I lived overseas and added a 'but' at the end of my sentence everyone would look at me and ask "but what?" Haha I don't know, maybe that's just a WA thing but."— u/Warm-Candle-6615Here's an example: I reckon putting heaps of chicken salt on your chips is sick but. Smothering your hot chips with ✨CHICKEN SALT✨. Calling this symbol ❤️ a "love heart", not just a "heart". "Cooking on a free (or coin-operated) electric barbecue at the park." Dancing a very specific sequence of steps to "Nutbush, City Limits" by Ike and Tina Turner "Try talking to an American and asking them if they can do 'The Nutbush'... The looks... ohhh the looks."— u/FantasticOlive7568We learn this sequence of steps — called 'The Nutbush' — from a very young age and continue to dance them at school discos, weddings, events and more. Even if you try to forget it, you can't stop yourself when you hear the opening beats to "Nutbush City Limits". Begging your parents for a price-y themed bag full of merch and/or candy (AKA a showbag) at every carnival and fair. "Playing cricket on the beach on Christmas Day." Drinking cappuccinos sprinkled with chocolate powder. And finally, eating French toast as a savoury food rather than dessert. What was the most surprising thing on this list?

Bianca Panetta Academy of Dance encourages dancing for sick kids with Nutbush and Macarena this week
The Bianca Panetta Academy of Dance is calling on people from Harvey to 'rock up and be ready to dance' for a reason this week. The dance for sick kids is part of a week-long nationwide fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House, but this is the first time it has been brought to Harvey. Dance academy owner and event coordinator Bianca Meese said she would be hosting a community dance day this Thursday featuring the Nutbush and Macarena dances to help raise funds while having fun. 'I've been wanting to do it for a few years , but I just haven't gotten around to it,' she said. 'You log your hours the week you dance and the main thing is to get people to sponsor or donate because all the money goes towards the Ronald McDonald House. 'We've opened up a couple of classes to the public so they can come in and have a dance and donate.' Ms Meese said she wanted to take part after learning more about the importance of the charity for people in the regions. 'I've just spoken to so many people who have used the Ronald McDonald House, and just how important it is for those families to have that, especially when you live in the country,' she said. 'I just think it's definitely a cause that needs to be supported. 'The money goes towards the house for those families who do need to stay there with their kids, and that can be for a long time as well.' The chosen dance classes encourage every community member to get involved, no matter their skill level, and the academy's usual classes will continue. 'All of our classes we will still be dancing and we're doing crazy socks and pyjama day with our students so they can come along and be a part of it with their classes,' Ms Meese said. 'The open classes anybody can join, there's no experience needed.' Harvey community members can attend a hip hop class at 6pm Wednesday or 6.30pm Friday. Alternatively, the dance students have invited community members for the Macarena and Nutbush dances, with emergency service workers and business owners at 5.30pm and 6pm Thursday.
