Not all Aussies, though; at least one couple among my friends is split over uggs by gender: he wears them in public, she can't stand them.
Australians have a proper sense of humour and don't take themselves too seriously, so wearing uggs is understandable - they're warm, they do the job. But how the fashion fools would deal with the fact that "uggs" stands for "ugly boots", I wonder.
