     In South Australia you′ll rub shoulders with crow-eaters, in Queensland you′ll knock back a beer in a bar full of banana-benders (or cane toads), in NSW you′ll sit among a crowd of cockroaches at the footy, and in Tasmania you′ll trek alongside a bunch of (rather unimaginstively named) apple-eaters.
