A READER sent me this list of questions that were supposedly posted on the website of the Australian Tourist Board from potential visitors from around the world. Dumb questions but funny answers.

From Sweden: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney. Can I follow the railroad tracks?

Answer: Sure, it's only three thousand miles. Take lots of water.

From the USA: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia?

Answer: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe.

Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does not ... oh forget it. Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked.

From the UK: Can I wear high heels in Australia?

Answer: You are a British politician, right?
