It seems that everything Australian either isn't Australian or isn't

bought by
America.)

You're serious?? the Hill's Hoist isn't Australian? At the recently opened and apparently controversial (due to critics claiming that it's rubbishy and kitsch) Canberra National Museum, there was a section about the Hills Hoist and how it's a symbol of the Australian housewife of the 50s etc. Imperative
