Believe me. I wish I could be there. This has to be between November and March.

@Seattlecarnut Come on over the weather is great and the water is lovely. No shortage of barbies (the outdoor cooking device not the doll) on the go as well.

[Seattlecarnut]

Ah! Summer in Australia! Warm and lovely. Christmas in Australia. Merry Christmas, mate!

[Seattlecarnut]

@FILMAUSTRALIA (laughs) I know what a barbie is. We have the same thing here, except it's called the barbecue, or BBQ. I also love the music played during this video.

Good old Australia summers. Where you can crack a beer, start a barbi, picnic with friends and family, and fight bush fires - all in the same day.

How are Australians ugly? Aren't they one of the best looking societies on Earth?
