The facts of life Down Under, to anyone who isn’t actually living there, are shrouded in mystery, and that’s the only truth. Like, what’s it like to be living in a place where almost every animal is either poisonous or venomous, where spiders fall from the skies, temperatures are scorching, and you have to endure it all while upside down?! The last part, of course, was a thoroughly not funny dad joke, but everything before it was true.

To learn about life in Australia, you could watch a National Geographic documentary, visit a library to check out an atlas, or try to google each and every aspect of thoroughly Australian things that encapsulate the experience of living there. However, a better way to learn the Aussies’ secrets would be to check out these positively Australian tweets and learn about their habits straight from the horse’s mouth. Or Twitter. So, what we did here is we gathered all the funny tweets that have been sent to our screens right from Down Under and are now letting you in on the secrets that we learned while reading them!

Be advised, though, these cool tweets are heavily peppered with phrases and words from everyone’s beloved Aussie slang, so you just might need a page of Urban Dictionary open to keep you in the know. Besides that, most of these snippets of wisdom are pure comedy gold, so a good time reading them is guaranteed!

Right-o, scroll down below and check out these hilarious Australian tweets! Once you’re done laughing and gathering intel on the facts of living in Australia, be sure to give the best tweets your vote so they find their way to the top of this list. Lastly, share this article with your friends!

this does actually exist. its called Critterpedia, you take a photo and using AI it identifies the spider, snake, or other critter. It's still in early access as far as I know, but it has some pretty prestigious backing behind it (CSIRO etc).

So I was reading yesterday how there hasn't been a recorded death by spider bite since the 90's. Not to say people haven't died because of spiders (like finding one in your car on the highway and freaking right the hell out)

Just how citable is your source, and what area of land or ocean are they covering for this review? Per fauna.com posted 6/9/21, approximately 11 people die per year from spider bites world wide. Were you reading from some pro spider propaganda? 🤨

    A drongo is a slow-witted or stupid person: a fool. This great Australian insult was originally an RAAF term for a raw recruit. It first appeared in the early 1940s, but its origin reaches back to the name of the racehorse Drongo, who ran around in the early 1920s

    Actually in the eastern part where I live the summers recently have been comparatively mild by Australian standards. Our weather pattern for the last few years has been dominated by a pattern called "La Nina", which makes the weather wetter and cooler (hence all the floods). When the pattern is dominated by "El Nino" that's when you get fried to a crisp

    I sent a jar of Vegemite to a friend in Alabama, and she sent back some "before and after" pictures of her husband sampling the stuff. I said you're supposed to only put a very thin layer on the bread, not slather it on like it's peanut butter, but of course by then it was too late. He had clearly been poisoned.

    As a University of Adelaide Alumni, I can vouch that this was at least true in the nineties. I even had one lecturer who, when I said I'd like to go to a specialist Drama school down the track, said "oh, but you have to be pretty to go there."

    Oh god I actually tried that stuff. In fact I sampled a lot of them as a stunt for my "What Did Food Ever Do To You?" page, which is all about the bizarre food flavours I keep finding. I tasted the Redskins flavoured milk (yes, they've since changed the name - it's a raspberry flavoured sweet which is apparently designed to break your teeth) in front of an audience and a good time was had by everyone except me. The stuff got taken off the shelves in about a month, and for good reason. The current bizarre flavour is "Lime Splice", which is an ice cream combining lime flavoured ice with vanilla ice cream. I haven't touched it. Yet.

    TAFE stands for Technical and Further Education. So if you wanted to do nursing or business or woodworking or mechanics or hairdressing or fashion or film or something like that, many choose to go to TAFE. It's a common first step out of school (some people do something at TAFE while they're still at school). The other part of the joke is that lots of Aussies wear hoodies with "Harvard" or "Princeton" or other big US unis on them, even if they've never been, so the joke is "Oh, we wear hoodies with YALE on them, do they wear TAFE NSW hoodies?"
