Australian barbeque has actually evolved in the last few years. In the past, Aussies would throw any old meat on the barbie, grill it beyond recognition, then serve it for some quick backyard food. The genuine test was just how much beer you might drink before and after eating the charred meat.

In later years a pirate constructed a huge estate called "Hacienda Mundaca" in the hope of winning the heart of an Island woman. He returned and failed to the mainland, with a busted heart.
