What I learned from the Gumtree Song was that many Aussie's take pride in their kangaroos, old style of life (clothesline) and their gumtrees. I know this because they keep repeating that in the chorus over and over again when someone asks him what his favorite place is.

I also think it is sad how they can't find the girls, why is it such a big deal anyway? They left because of Neville anyway! Also, they have their mind so set on pureness they just think color will go away, but it never will.
