[edit] Australian Country Folk

Original research, unverified, and unencyclopedic and full of stereotyping. I've just moved from the big smoke to an Australian rural area and I've yet to hear one "Crikey", "Blimey", "Fair Dinkum'" or "True Blue" on the street. Possibly already covered in the article on Culture of Australia. -- Longhair 11:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

It's quite funny really. As an Australian, I don't take offense to it. Rather, it's full of stereotypes that are just as easily found in Sydney city, as out in the bush. That, and it's not a nessecary, productive or useful article that should be found on wikipedia. Nebuchanezzar 12:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment:I didn't take any offence either, and you're right, I've heard just as many 'bush terms' back in the city. -- Longhair 12:44, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete An article on rural or regional Ausrtalia would probably be quite good, but this isn't it, or even the beginning of it. Off Topic comment: In Australia, it seems if you live in a city of less than a million people you are in "rural Australia". -- Chuq 01:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Not an encyclopaedic article. --Roisterer 03:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
