I worked in Sydney and North West Queensland for nearly a year. I thought I was an accomplished beer drinker, having practiced the art for a half a century or more. But no, I am just a mere rooky. My hats off to the Aussies! They work hard all day and drink beer hard all night, amazing. I'm thinking they can hold their own with most anyone man to man. They did themselves proud in WWII - tough people. F-ck the Chinese!
I trained with the Brits and the Aussies. No way we could keep up with their alcohol consumption. Next day they exhibited no signs of hangovers. Great guys and graet soldiers.
I worked afew years mostly offshore but when we hit shore, lookout. They measure distances while driving with tinnies. Not sure if that is correct spelling. So 5 tinies would be 100 km. Not sure of the scale being the same all across the board.
Our aussie cricket team did the same thing when flying to England many years ago for a game over there. Same principle but different scale I suppose (beers versus distance).
