They must be old laws because Aus. has been using dollars and cents since 1966. I've never heard this nonsense before but like Rob says Victorians are a weird mob!! I think someone is having a lend of you adrienne!! another weird thing I found about the US is that I drove all the way to The Jack Daniells distillery and then was not allowed to sample the product because it is in a dry county??.

I wish it was that easy, ADDrienne, I'd change 2 or 3 light bulbs right now if I thought it was the way to lose 30 pounds. Funny they don't take any money off you...

So it should be - for men
It is illegal to walk on the right hand side of a footpath.

Maybe technically still a law but certainly not enforced.
It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burglar.
Never heard that one! It is required to remove bike helmets before entering a bank though.
Children may not purchase cigarettes, but they may smoke them.
True, one can be enforced the other cannot (except by parents)
In Victoria, you must have a neck to knee swimsuit in order to swim at Brighton Beach.
Not true, they probably go topless now.
In Tasmania, until the Port Arthur Killings it was legal to own an AK-47 but not legal to be gay.
Not true in either case. It has been legal to be homosexual for about 4 years - much as I disagree with it.
I wonder what even stranger laws we will all have with world events as they are. It will soon be illegal to send any white powder through the mail. Strange times we live in.

Adrienne, want some odd laws? Come to Louisiana. We still have archaic laws from when we were under french rule and spanish rule. Guess the only reason some of them haven't changed is that no one has spent the money to pay off the renown Louisiana politicians!

adrieanne, do u beleive everything your told?
considering most of our beaches are either topless or 'take the whole bloody lot of if you like mate' i can't see the neck to knee as a real law now days
and like everyone said victorians are a tad on the strange side
my personal fav is that horses still have right of way on the sydney harbour bridge! even in 12 lanes of traffic.... sure the'd get away with it too hehehe
our kids have to be 18 in nsw to buy cig's and the same age to smoke em! at $13 per pack i'm wondering where they'd get the money anyway.
they have to be 18 to buy 'any' knife... that means if i send one of the younger ones to buy me plastic picnic utensils they can get everything except the knives
like rod said, our mob are still guilty untill proven otherwise
the road worthy vehicle laws here are way stronger than up-over, i was amazed what your mob can legally have on the road
cheers gail

In QLD, we're not as weird as the people further south Yes, horses still have the right of way on the road, but hmmm.. at least we don't need to name a beer after our state to remind us where we're from
And the language! Hmmm... Victorian people: Didcha see that most of those "laws" there are victorian?
(no offence to victorian people, of course... We still luv ya!!!)
