I am not an aussie (did you notice?), but I *expect* from any serious
australian article to have at least an awakened form of Kangaroo
and a frorm of awakened Platypus! :) Not to mention awakened kiwis (OK,
OK, that's not australia, but so what? If the awakened kiwi can
fly... :), awakened Tasmanian devils (Any tasmanians out there?)...

Awakened Paul Hogans (Mr. Crocodile Dundee) are unwelcome :)

(BTW Gurth, are stats for critters fair game or do we just mention
them, describe them, what? I vote for the stats (smallish print),
since any serious tourist guide would have at least -a minimum- of
scientifical info on any animal typical of the area)

We've been talking about this, and we were thinking:
Drop Bears (all you Aussies can stop laughing now)
Bunyips
Awakened Funnelwebs
Awakened Wombats

Maybe not kangaroos, though... too stereotypical.

Stats for anything you think is relevant to the area you're describing,
are okay. That includes critters, vehicles, firearms, and anything else.
However, keep in mind that this is not an equipment book but a world
guide, so only give stats for that new police shotgun if it's something
shadowrunners *need* to know about before venturing into the city.
