AUSTRALIA Q&A

Here are some of the classic questions that were asked of the Sydney Olympic Committee via their Web site, and the witty answers that go with them.

Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK)

A: Upwards, out of the ground, like the person who asked this question, who themselves will need watering if their IQ drops any lower...

Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street? (USA)

A: Depends on how much beer you've consumed...

Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)
