A question for Australians...

I also have a question for the Austrailians.
What exactly are the main ingridients in Vegimite? Their website seemed to skip around the subject.

 

in answer to those questions

Being from Melbourne I can tell you that the weather in January is awesome... nice and hot. And when I say hot, I mean hot, January is regularly the hottest part of the summer. So I'd bring some shirts, sunscreen and hats, and don't forget to slip slop slap. In answer to the second question... what is in vegemite. I thought I would consult the vegemite jar sitting opposite me. And i quote: "INGREDIENTS: Yeast Extract, Salt, Mineral Salt (508), Malt Extract, Natural Colour (150), Vegetable Extract, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate". Hope that helps.
Enjoy our beautiful brown country,
and, of course, go Melbourne for the 2003 AFL Premiership!!!

Cheers,
Tim.

 

I may be wrong, but I believe its the same as the british marmite, which is yeast extract. Full of B vitamins and tastes really good so long as you don't slather it on.

 

riding from sydney to melbourne wow, thats a fair trip and the weather is nice all round, but in melbourne the wather sucks, in sydney is nice all round, so its a great place to visit and what team do you ride for ? if youi do ride for one and is this a race or a leisurely thing

 

I may have to try some. Is there any way to describe it's taste or is it one of those things that there is no way to describe?

 

no you can't describe it you just need to taste it

 

By my reckoning, it ought to be called crapomite. Then again, I know a few people who swear by it.

Must be a cultural thing.

 

Re: in answer to those questions

No, if you are going to be in Melbourne, take a raincoat. Save the sunscreen for Sydney.

And AFL sucks. Fortunately it will be the off- season when you come, so you can enjoy watching the cricket.

 

January is our summer, so hot as hell. Also a hell of a journey!!

Don't count on the Demons for the 2003 flag - The Swans will bounce back and win over all (with Wayne on board )

 

Me living in england before australia (and Jpan before England), I can say that vegemite and marmite are virtually the same..and so is promite...however, promite is a bit sweeter, and vegemite is saltier than the other two...IE. marmite is about in between them..

 

Sydney Sux

Well Last time I was in Sydney it rained the whole time (I was there during the storms at the end of November) But I was luckly enough to go to the Apple building there and go on a tour.

The weather was much nicer up in Noosa and Then Back down at the Gold Coast and the "Talent" was not too bad for Schoolies Week.

 

They do tours of the apple place?? what was it like?

 

I hope you don't mean push bike ... It's a very long way.

 

OK there are two main ways to get from Melb to Syd.

1. The Hume Hwy - goes up the middle, takes 9.5 to 10 hrs by car and is mainly flat and straight (it's a main hwy).

2. Along the coast (the route I think you guys are taking), it's mostly an older road, very hilly and windy in places and takes about 12 or more hrs by car.

 

PS. I drive fast.

 

hey dnte ... you have some stunning pictures on your mac homepage...Thanks!

 

No they don't do tours, I work for Renaissance here in New Zealand, and we distribute Apple Products here (Apple Computer as a company is not in New Zealand we represent them sort of here, we do all the advertising and sell to the channel). When I was training to service Macs I got on well with the trainer and he invited in for a tour next time I was in Sydney.

PS OSX 10.2 is Great

 

dnte42 - no worries, dude. You'll like Oz just fine.

Aussie women are among the loosest I've even encountered, and, due to the somewhat wanting nature of the home grown crop, ...they just love it when American men visit.

Seriously, ...foreign guys have a real advantage with the babes in Oz. The primary reason being that the local dudes tend to like to sit around with each other and fold their genitals into 'shapes'.


It's no accident that the same country/continent gave the world Puppetry of the Peni5 and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
