Spirit of 2000 Easy to Maintain

The Olympics will be over next week, but www.everything australian.com makes it easy to keep the Aussie spirit with more than 800 Australian products.

The U.S.-based company started by a Australian couple features Sydney Games collectibles such as an Olympic mascot towel and Olympic pins.

For Australians living in L.A., show your Aussie pride with a “Down Under” or “G’day mate” license plate or a “Parking for Australians Only” sign.

Or wear a part of the land down under with Australian coin watches, koala and kangaroo backpacks, T-shirts, rugby jerseys, hats and Aussie-themed jewelry.

The Web site also sells magnets, figurines, hand-painted boomerangs, food, beauty products and Aboriginal products like a cool snake letter opener.

For children there’s a selection of activity and coloring books, stickers and Australian stuffed animals.

And for the music lover, buy Aussie CDs, or a didgeridoo and a book on how to play this indigenous instrument. And then you’ll never have to say goodbye, mate.
