So I walk down to the bottle-o to grab a case of beer. Grab my case, go to the counter, and there is a wine pouch on clearance for $10 so grab that too. Scan my woolies rewards card, and the 19yo checkout chick says "hey mate, how's it going. woah $10 buckers! You get a free sack of goon. Howzat!" and that might be the most Australian sentence I have ever heard in my entire life.

@ned when I was a little kid, I had to go on some sort of parade float with my school in Darwin. The theme was waltzing Matilda or something like that, so we had a coolabah tree.
It was a hills hoist with empty goon boxes hanging from it.
