I'm afraid that I'm too old to get assimilated by 100%. I will never associate Vegemite with food and Cricket doesn't really feel like sports. I will have a look at footy & ruby but I reckon I will stick to bushwalking, scuba diving and a bit of rock climbing. So to some degree I will remain "krautish" - you cannot hide it anyway.![[Image: biggrin.gif]](https://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

OK, then there is only one other thing that you need to get right. How to say G'day correctly. No need to add "mate" at this stage.
Aussies will accept your "krautishness", no problems. But if you can't get the G'day with that unique sound they'll always think that you're just another tourist.
Good luck and have fun. Oh, if you make it down to Vic for a bit of bush walking I highly recommend Wilsons Prom.
