And on your left is a kangaroo scrotum…

October 25th, 2009

Roo PooI’ve been playing tour guide for the past two weeks with my American girlfriend Beth dragging the poor thing around a big chunk of all the big ‘tourist’ sites around Melbourne. We did Federation Square, the Aquarium, Victoria Street for Vietnamese, Royal Botanical Gardens, the Restaurant Tram, Crown Casino, the Caulfield Cup, St Kilda beach, Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, Healesville Sanctuary, a Yarra valley vineyard and, of course, the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island. And lots of souvenir shops. As a local you don’t spend a lot of time in Australian souvenir shops and fair dinkum do they sell a lot of weird crap. And I mean that literally – you can buy Roo Pooh (which is actually chocolate covered peanuts). You could also take home to your mum a Kangaroo Scrotum Bottle Opener, Kangaroo Paw Back Scratcher or a Kangaroo Leather Scrotum Coin Purse. My favourite, however, is the cute and cuddly Copulating Koalas. It’s the perfect gift for Grandma.

    Mate, you need to take her up to Sydney. Not so much for the souvenirs but the sights!
