I have many Aussie friends, both here in the USA and overseas via the 
radio and Internet.  Most don't seem to mind the terms "down under", 
"Oz", etc. at all.  

Those who live in the USA now often wonder why they can't find Vegemite 
in the grocery stores.  Especially with a Kraft plant right here in the 
town where I live. All I say is that it's not a perfect world.
