@Walter Hinteler,
Hello there, neighbour! Wink Smile

We're kinda used to it.
Happens all the time, believe it or not.

Some true-blue Aussie images, just for you:

A couple of Australian wenches honing their yodeling skills in the alps. Smile :

@izzythepush,
Well ....
Someone didn't do their research properly, that's for sure!
And should be fired immediately! Evil or Very Mad

@msolga,
I wonder how often Austrians are called on to play the didgeridoo?
...or to flick pass an Oz Rules football? (not easy, trust me! )
They must get bewildered sometimes, too? Smile Wink

@dlowan,
Yeah, I thought so! Wink
Walter is incredibly observant, though, isn't he?

Don't you get tired of being mistaken for an Austrian all the time?
(NOT that there's anything wrong with them or anything.)

Well you could stop prancing about in lederhosen for starters.

Good point!
And stop yodeling all over the place, too ...
That might help.

Is this a uniquely Australian image?

@hingehead,
I'm guessing yes, hinge.
I don't think there are too many Hills Hoists to be found in many/any? other countries. ( Love mine!)
Nice shot!
Did you take it?

Very ineffectively. I'll bet 70% were bent and wobbly courtesy of transporting kids round in circles.
