    There are broadly 150 indigenous language groups but only about 14 are still in common use.

    If you’ve worked for a single company/system for 7 years you get a bonus 6 weeks ‘long-service’ leave.

    We have a native cherry that grows inside out called a cherry ballart.

    Our cuisine is really varied depending on your geography with a lot of soth East Asian influences. Most people will make stir-fry reasonably often and we have our own variations of sushi and dim sum which would offend most Japanese or Chinese people.

      Oddly, the long service leave varies from state to state/territory. One state gives 6 weeks at 7 years, another gives 12 weeks at 10 years.

      We moved country earlier this year, and my wife misses “dim sims”. Truely unique

      Aight, my geography isn’t heaps great, but I do vaguely remember a Southeast Asian nation with tons of indigenous languages. Shot in the dark, one of the archipelago nations?

      The cherry ballart sounds neat! So I take it ya crack 'em open to get the fleshy juicy goodness inside?
