WIKIPEDIA:
"Down Under" is the title of a New Wave song of reggae flavour, written by Colin Hay and Ron Strykert, recorded in 1981 by the Australian rock group Men at
Work . The song went to #1 on American as well as international charts, including their native Australia and the UK. It was the first and only Men at Work song
that went to number 1 in the UK. It has become a popular and patriotic song in Australia. This song is played in the Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. The song is
also partially played in the documentary television series, The Adventure of English, to help illustrate Australia's newfound confidence in its linguistic identity in
the late 20th Century. The lyrics are about an Australian traveller circling the globe, proud of his nationality and about his interactions with people he meets
on his travels who are interested in his home country. The flute part in the song is based around the tune of "Kookaburra", a well-known Australian children's
rhyme. The song is a perennial favorite on Australian radio and television, and became well-known outside.

Vegemite sandwichis a dark brown savoury food paste made from yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits
Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as
salty, slightly bitter, the texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter.
Vegemite is popular with many Australians and New Zealanders, who commonly consider it a national food and a cultural icon. It can be found in shops around the
world, particularly where there are large populations of Australian expatriates. Vegemite has not been successfully marketed in other countries, apart from New
Zealand, and has failed to catch on in the United States.
