In Australian media, an Aussie is typically portrayed as a Caucasian, larger-than-life, masculine male who tames crocodiles for a living and lives in the bush; the vast, yet stunning landscape that occupies over 70% of the country (1).

Once the third member is recovered and the three friends are again together andon their way home, they disguise themselves as the Soggy Bottom Boys, a folk group whose hitsong “Man of Constant Sorrow”.
