The British Royal Family must abide by a list of centuries-old rules and protocols, and that extends to their fashion choices. That’s right — the Royals have a dress code. Dresses have to be an appropriate length, shoes must be of a sensible height, and only married women can wear tiaras. Regardless of these restrictions, the Royal women always bring it when it comes to fashion. Take a look at our ranking of some of the most beautiful royal gowns.

There's probably nothing more Australian than going grocery shopping with a kangaroo bundled like a baby in your arms, except perhaps eating Vegemite while you're at it. Known to Australians as Kangaroo Dundee, this man has devoted his life to saving baby kangaroos (joeys if you're in the know) who have been orphaned. His project became so far reaching that he was featured in a TV special that caused hundreds of single Australian women to propose to him.

This little koala entered the supermarket in order to find a job. He was just sick and tired of eating eucalyptus in the tree all day and was ready to spend more time in the human world. He had never realized that those same humans thought he was absolutely adorable. No one took him seriously when he began his job hunt, instead, they would coo at him. The flash of the constant pictures began to get annoying, so he left defeated.

Vegemite is one of those substances that it seems only Australians can understand. The spread itself looks like an unappetizing brown goop, and yet even Australians like the girl below just can't get enough. The girl especially likes to put it on everything from toast to pancakes lasagna and has even been known to stir a bit into her coffee now and again. We certainly don't get it, but then again, maybe Americans who shun Vegemite are just wrong.

In case you ever had dreams of visiting Australia, the photos below will probably make you think twice. Kangaroos might not seem dangerous, but then again you probably have never seen them get into a fight. Ultimately more terrifying, however, is the snake curled up in the toilet, lying in wait for an unsuspecting bum to crowd its space, giving it a good enough reason to raise its head and take a bite. Also, there are giant lizards (and spiders). Visit Australia today!
