It might seem friendly to give a little "toot" as you drive away from a friend's place, but it is illegal to use a horn "other than as permitted" - 203 people were fined.

Hitchhiking is illegal in Queensland, as 109 people found out.

Dawdling is out of order when it comes to crossing the road, with 14 pedestrians fined for staying on a crossing longer than necessary.

Plenty of road laws and regulations relate to animals, with two people fined for failing to give way to restless horses, two fines given to passengers for leading an animal from a vehicle and 11 people fined for taking animals onto buses.

Several cyclists found themselves in trouble, including 12 people fined for riding a bicycle while being towed by a vehicle and six "talented" people fined for riding while "not astride seat facing forward".

The law takes a dim view of bicycles transporting more people than they are designed for, with 56 people fined, while drinking booze while riding a bicycle landed 61 people in trouble.

Not just unusual, but also dangerous, 29 motorbike riders were fined for failing to keep at least one hand on the handlebars, while six multi-tasking riders were fined for riding with an animal between their arms.

Forgetful drivers who left their direction indicator flashing also landed in trouble, with 18 people fined.

One must not whip it - crack that whip! - on a road, as two people discovered when they were hit by fines for cracking whips.

A relaxed game of cricket in the cul-de-sac is out of the question, with 17 people fined for playing games on a road.

It turns out adhering to basic etiquette on public transport will also save commuters from forking out.

Two people were fined for occupying more than one seat on a train, 110 for putting their feet on a train seat and 63 for eating or drinking on a train.

The above offences all attract a fine of a maximum of 20 penalty units, or $2669.

But despite the laws being unknown to many people, RACQ spokeswoman Lauren Ritchie said ignorance was no defence.

"Whilst these are some of the more obscure road rules and it's not common to get fined for them, they do still exist for a reason," she said.

"It does come down to safety a lot of the time ... For instance bonfires on the road and also having two hands on the handlebars.

"Even if you don't agree with the rules or you think they might be a bit silly or over the top, that's not a valid reason to break them."

Ms Ritchie said the fact that only a handful of people were fined for unusual offences meant they were not the highest priority when it came to police enforcement.

"Usually people get caught breaking these rules because people are doing the wrong thing elsewhere," she said.

It has been claimed that in Western Australia it is an offence to possess 50kgs of potatoes. Sound strange? This one is fact!

Section 22 of the Marketing of Potatoes Act 1946 prohibits anyone from selling, delivering, purchasing, or taking delivery of 50kgs (or what appears to be 50kg) or more of potatoes unless you are a member of the Potato Corporation or an authorised agent.

The penalty for breaking this law is a fine of up to $2,000 for a first offence or $5,000 for a subsequent offence in addition to an amount up to twice the value of the potatoes.

Some have claimed that you cannot offer a reward in South Australia if you indicate there will be no action against the person. Again, this is fact.

Section 48A of the Summary Offences Act 1953 makes it an offence in that state to advertise a reward asking for stolen or lost property to be returned where the ad indicates that there will be no questions asked, the person returning the goods will not be arrested or investigated, or that money paid for its purchase or by loan will be repaid. The maximum penalty is a $500 fine.

A similar offence exists in Tasmania whereby printing or publishing an ad for the return of stolen or lost property which intimates that no questions will be asked, that a reward will be given without inquiry, or that money paid or loaned for property will be repaid on its return, will incur a fine of up to 5 penalty units (currently $785) ( Police Offences Act 1935 s 41).

If you have come across those claims that it is an offence in South Australia to obstruct or disturb a wedding, a funeral, or any religious service, you may be surprised to learn that this is fact.

It is also an offence to obstruct or disturb anyone trying to get to or leave from any such ceremony or service if it is done in a way that is meant to cause offence and is in some way related to their attendance at the event ( Summary Offences Act 1953 (SA) s 7A).

The maximum penalty is a fine of $10,000 or imprisonment for 2 years.

It is true that, in Queensland, it is illegal to publish a notice or ad that falsely reports, expressly or by implication, that a child has been born, a person has died, a funeral is planned or has occurred, a couple has become engaged, are about to marry, or have been married, or that a job is available ( Summary Offences Act 2005 (Qld) s 21).

You can be fined up to 10 penalty units ($1,219) or jailed for up to 6 months.

Many tourist websites claim that in Australia it is illegal to walk on the left-hand side of the road. This is largely fiction.

Generally speaking, pedestrians must keep off the road if there is a footpath or nature strip along which they can walk (see, for example, Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Regulations (Qld) reg 238(1)) - noncompliance could earn you up to 20 penalty units or $2,438.

Where there is no reasonable way to use or access a footpath, in most Australian jurisdictions, you must (unless impracticable) walk on the side of the road which faces approaching traffic - that is, the right hand side of the road. The penalty for failing to do so depends on the jurisdiction:

This one makes sense - better to see the vehicles approaching so you can dodge them if necessary!

In South Australia, it is an offence to walk 'without due care or attention' or without considering others using the road ( Road Traffic Act 1961 (SA) s 87), but it does not specify a particular side of the road must be used. The maximum penalty is a fine of up to $2,500.

In the Northern Territory, it is an offence for a pedestrian to walk on a road if there is a footpath or nature strip available unless it is impracticable to use it. However, if you need to walk on the road, the NT legislation requires only that you keep as far to the left or right of the road as practicable ( Traffic Regulations - Australian Road Rules (NT) s 238(2) - max 20 penalty units ($3,080) or 6 months imprisonment ( Traffic Regulations (NT) reg 93)).

Have you heard that it is an offence in both SA and Victoria to kill, injure or take, or enter onto a property intending to kill, injure or take, a homing pigeon unless you have lawful authority to do so?

Again, this is fact. The Victorian legislation specifically prohibits shooting, killing, wounding, injuring, destroying, ensnaring, catching or taking the pigeon ( Summary Offences Act 1953 (SA) s 47; Summary Offences Act 1966 (Vic) div 7). The maximum penalty is 1 penalty unit (currently $155.46) though the division does not preclude other civil or criminal proceedings that may apply. In SA, the penalty is a fine of up to $250 and the court can order you to compensate the owner for the value of the pigeon.

In Western Australia, you can be in trouble for stealing a pigeon, but only if it is tame and either in a pigeon-house or on the owner's land ( Criminal Code (WA) s 370).

Did you know that in Victoria it is an offence to undertake any rain-making activity unless you are authorised to do so ( Rain-making Control Act 1967 (Vic) s 9).

'Rain-making' refers to the artificial nucleating or seeding of clouds using a manned aircraft (s 2), so your rain dances should still be okay.

Thinking of selling your 43 litre fridge in South Australia? Think again. Section 58B of the Summary Offences Act 1953 states that you cannot offer to sell, sell, or hire a refrigerator or ice chest or similar that has any compartment bigger than 42.5 litres. The only exceptions are if every door or lid can be easily opened from the inside of the refrigerator, or if it was manufactured or imported into South Australia prior to 1962.

You must also not dump a refrigerator or other article of this size unless you have removed every door and lid.

Think it's a joke that there is a law prohibiting you from tying your goat to a vehicle in Victoria? Think again.

It is, in fact, an offence there if you harness or attach your goat or your dog to a vehicle and drive it in or through a public area ( Summary Offences Act 1966 (Vic) s 8(c)). The penalty is 5 penalty units (currently $777.30).

You must also refrain from driving your cart, wagon or dray in or through a public area unless you have your name and address painted legibly and permanently on the right side in lettering that is a minimum of 25mm long (s 8(b)).

Next time you see your train, tram or bus driver getting upset with passengers or other road users in Victoria, rest assured that they are not allowed to engage in road rage. In that state, anyone who drives, guards or conducts public transport must not wilfully cause delays on the road, or use any kind of language in speaking to a passenger that is abusive or insulting, or endanger the safety or property of anyone because of intoxication or misconduct ( Summary Offences Act 1966 (Vic) s 8(i)).

Section 8 of this same Act also prohibits anyone - not just public transport employees - from killing an animal or skinning a dead one on a public road (s 8(g)). Good to know.

Have you heard the one about it being an offence in Victoria to vacuum at night? This is largely true.

You will be in trouble if your vacuum cleaner emits 'unreasonable noise' from a residential property between 10pm and 7am Monday to Friday and 10pm and 9am on weekends and public holidays ( Environment Protection (Residential Noise) Regulations 2008 (Vic) reg 6). The noise will be considered unreasonable if, for example, it can be heard in a 'habitable' room in any other residential property regardless of whether they have the door or window open or closed ( Environment Protection Act 1970 (Vic) s 48A).

Many websites argue that it is an offence for you to change your own lightbulb in Victoria. Fortunately, we can report that there is nothing in the legislation to indicate that this is fact. You are precluded from undertaking your own electrical work, but as for replacing a bulb - go for your life!

A really common claim was that taxis are supposed to carry a bale of hay at all times. This would have made sense when the taxi was a horse-drawn cart. Now, not so much.

You may be pleased to know that there is no evidence that the law still exists anywhere in the country. You may also be pleased to know that hoteliers are also no longer required to stable, feed, and water horses.

The times, they are a-changin'. No, you don't have to wear neck-to-knee bathers to swim at Brighton Beach in Melbourne, nor is there a limit on the amount of fabric you can have in your bikinis on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

You should note, though, that both states have laws against indecent exposure.

Many websites claim that, if you cannot find a bathroom, it is okay to urinate on the rear left tyre of your vehicle. This is fiction. No one wants to see that. Plan ahead.

Many many websites claim, without any kind of evidence to support it, that it is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday on a Sunday in Victoria.

There is, however, nothing we could find in the legislation - old or new - to indicate that this is fact.

So you may wear your hot pink pants anytime you like! Though whether you should is another question ...

There are a lot of strange laws out there, but also a lot of rumour-milling and fiction. The lesson is, don't believe everything you read online (except on our website of course!).

Much of the legislation in all States and Territories in Australia harks back to colonial days. As it is generally only amended where a specific need is identified, much of it has remained undisturbed. Take, for example, a provision in the property law legislation of South Australia, Victoria and Queensland ( Land of Property Act 1936 (SA) s 8, Property Law Act 1958 (Vic) s 51, Property Law Act 1974 (Qld) s 8):

'All lands and all interests therein shall lie in grant and shall be incapable of being conveyed by livery or livery and seisin, or by feoffment, or by bargain and sale ...'

But we all know what that means, right?

The game board consists of 25 randomly generated words. There are two teams: red and blue. Of the 25 words, nine belong to the team randomly selected to go first and eight belong to the other team. There are also seven neutral words and a bomb word. Each team has a spymaster that knows exactly which words belong to their team and the opposing team, which words are neutral, and which is the bomb. The objective of the game is for the spymasters to send clues to their field operatives (the other players on their team) to help them decode all of their team's words without uncovering the bomb. The team that decodes all of their words first wins; if a team uncovers the bomb, the other team wins.

Immigration to Australia is considered part of the history of human migration that started in Africa. The immigration history of Australia began with the initial human migration to the continent around 50,000 years ago when the ancestors of Australian Aborigines arrived on the continent via the islands of Maritime Southeast Asia and New Guinea.

Every seventies and eighties Aussie kid with migrant parents tells the same "embarrassing lunch box story". How the focaccia or bahn mi or matzo singled them out in the playground. How the other kids turned their noses up and insisted that their dumplings, sushi or baba ganoush made them smell. How all they ever wanted was a jam sandwich like the other kids, but ima/mama/ammi thought that was like eating cake for lunch.

Australia has come a long way in the past thirty or so years. Lunch boxes are now as varied as the food we eat at home. From Vietnamese to Korean to Polish to Chinese, Italian, Creole and on and on, most Australian tastebuds travel far and wide in any given week. Even the smallest shopping mall has a food court that offers more than one "international cuisine", with Indian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese being perennially popular.

The Chinese started the love story

The Australian food scene has been evolving in pattern with migration since Chinese gold rush prospectors began sharing food in the 1900s. "Chinese restaurants emerged as a commercial enterprise on the Victorian goldfields," says Barbara Nichol in her paper Sweet and Sour History: Melbourne's early Chinese history.

"In the first half of the 20th century the Chinese restaurant was one of the most visible symbols of cultural diversity in Sydney."

By 1890, one third of all cooks in Australia were Chinese, operating "cookshops" to serve Chinese diggers a hot meal from the back rooms of other businesses. The majority of Chinese settlers came from Southern China's Guangdong Province, so Cantonese food was on the menu. Little wonder then that the cooks were soon serving people from all nationalities, not just the Chinese.

Even when the White Australia Policy abruptly drew a halt to Chinese immigration in 1901, special visa favours were made for Chinese chefs. By the 1930s cookshops had evolved into stand-alone restaurants (18 were listed in the trade directories in 1820) and Nichol notes that they were frequented by "city workers, students, recently arrived refugees from Europe, and Melbourne's bohemian community of artists and writers."

The same was happening in Chinatown in Sydney, as Nichol said during a National Library of Australia presentation: "In the first half of the 20th century the Chinese restaurant was one of the most visible symbols of cultural diversity in Sydney."

Enter the Italians

The Italians were not far behind. Italians have been in Australia since James Matra and Antonio Ponto landed with the First Fleet, it wasn't until the influx of migration following WWII that they began making their culinary mark. Italian market-gardeners and green-grocers took over fruit and vegetable markets from the Chinese (whose numbers were dwindling due to the White Australia Policy).

"It is hard to believe that vegetables that we now take for granted, such as eggplants and zucchini, were virtually unknown to the Australian public," Vicki Swinbank writes in A brief history of the development of Italian Cuisine in Australia. "It must have been a real culture shock for Italians coming to Australian in the early days and being confronted with the typical Australian way of eating at the time. A diet consisting largely of meat, often three times a day, a very limited range of vegetables, all washed down with gallons of tea."

"It is hard to believe that vegetables that we now take for granted, such as eggplants and zucchini, were virtually unknown to the Australian public."

Italians started growing the vegetables they needed to create traditional dishes and it was only a matter of time before their food moved from market to retail to restaurant. King & Godfree in Carlton began specialising in Italian food and wine in the 1950s and the Valmorbida family went on to open Frank Agostino and Coy grocery stores across Melbourne. One of the first stores they opened is now Lygon Foodstore, which still sells high-quality Italian produce and supplies.

While the Italian migrant population were swooning with delight to be able to buy garlic and olive oil, the rest of Australia took some time to warm up Italian cuisine. Discrimination and prejudice meant that Italian eating didn't catch on in the general population until the late 70s, (hence all those sad focaccia lunch box stories), but the pulling power of a ragu Bolognese proved irresistible. These days, it's fair to say that many Australians eat Italian food at home or in restaurants weekly.

Greek milk bars brought the glam

The Greeks had a similar experience when arriving in Australia, although rather than the produce markets, it was in milk bars and cafés where they found their groove. The traditional Greek café began with Kytherian Athanasios Comino, who arrived in Sydney in 1877 and opened a fish and chip shop on Oxford Street in 1879. Working with fish seemed a natural fit for island-born Greeks and plenty of fellow Kytherians quickly followed suit. The Australian seafood industry was heavy with wholesale entrepreneurs of Greek decent and Comino, Manettas, Poulos, Racovolis and Kallis are just some of the Greek families who continue to be highly-regarded operators.

Souvlaki, loukoumades, moussaka, spanakopita and taramasalata were soon introduced and many Greek dishes remain a staple of milk bar culture across Australia.

The fish and chip shops morphed into milk bars in the 1930s and Katoomba's National Trust-listed Paragon Café, opened in 1916 by Zacharia Simos and closed in May 2018, stood for years as an early example of glamorous, "modern" Greek milk bar culture. The Paragon Café was probably the first to start selling traditional Greek food when it offered baklava and katafi in the 1930s, Tess Malouf writes inThe 200 years History of Australian Cooking. Souvlaki, loukoumades, moussaka, spanakopita and taramasalata were soon introduced and many Greek dishes remain a staple of milk bar culture across Australia.

Once Greek immigration took off in the 1950s, so did demand for Greek food. Fib pastry delicacies were soon supplied to restaurants across the cities and industries for Greek yoghurts, feta, haloumi and kefalotyri soon followed. However, it wasn't until the 1980s that restaurants serving exclusively Greek food began opening. Before that, traditional Greek food was mainly served 'after hours' at the milk bars to the Greek community, historian Leonard Janiszewski reports in Greek Cafés & Milk Bars of Australia.

By the 1990s, Greek tavernas had become sought-after, serving klefitiko, keftedes and dolmades to grateful masses across Australia.

Then we all fell in love with Thai

Just as Italian and Greek food was growing vast acceptance, another new kid on the block was jockeying into "weird lunch box" territory. " Thai Town ", along Campbell Street in Sydney, was officially recognised by the City of Sydney in 2013, but Thai grocers and retailers have been operating along the strip since the seventies. In 1976 Bahn Thai, Australia's first Thai restaurant, opened on St Kilda Road and Siam in Sydney quickly followed. It's fair to say we haven't stopped opening them since.

In their 2014 paper Thailand in Australia, Tamerlaine Beasley, Philip Hirsch and Soimart Rungmanee estimated that more than a quarter of all restaurants in Greater Sydney are Thai, the majority originally opened to serve a growing Thai student population but quickly finding favour with locals from every ethnicity.

"Thai Town", along Campbell Street in Sydney, was officially recognised in 2013, but Thai grocers and retailers have been operating along the strip since the seventies.

It was a non-Thai who put Australian-style Thai food on the world map. David Thompson's Darley Street Thai and Sailor's Thai (both closed) modernised Thai food in Australia in the 1990s. Thompson went on to open Nahm in London, the first Thai restaurant to earn a Michelin star, and later opened Nahm in Bangkok where he has cooked ever since. Thompson then opened Long Chim in Perth in 2015, Sydney in 2016 and Melbourne in 2017; a celebration of Thai street food and the kind of Thai cooking popping up more and more across Australia.

"The streets of Bangkok are the part of Thai food culture I love the most. You'll find most Thais prefer to eat in the markets on the streets - and its where you'll find me too," says Thompson.

Street food Vietnamese-style

Vietnamese refugees fleeing from the devastation of the Vietnam war also brought a little street food magic with them: phở. By this time, Australia was well-into Cantonese food, with a Chinese restaurant mandatory in every town, but lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork did not quite prepare the population for the fragrant broth that would eventually become a national obsession.

The Vietnamese community began opening family-run restaurants to feed their own in working class suburbs like Melbourne's Richmond and Footscray and Sydney's Cabramatta and Canley Vale. For many, cooking started as a way to make some money while attending English classes.

"Most cooks were amateurs who turned to cooking to earn a modest income," Tess Do, a lecturer at Melbourne University's School of Languages and Linguistics, told Vice. "The whole family, including young children, would join in to help."

Up the road in John Street, Luke and Pauline Nguyen's parents opened up Pho Cay Du, inspiring a new generation of Australian foodies.

Pho Tau Bay, Cabramatta's first Vietnamese restaurant, opened in 1980 on Park Street but it had operated out of a garage for years before that. Up the road in John Street, Luke and Pauline Nguyen's parents, Lap Nguyen and Cue Phuong Nguyen, soon opened up Pho Cay Du (now Café Cay Du), inspiring a new generation of Australian foodies. Luke and Pauline went on to open Red Lantern in Sydney's Surry Hills in 2002, and their innovative cooking was instrumental in introducing Vietnamese food to a wide audience across Australia.

Who knows what happens next

Since the grunt work has been done by Chinese, Italian, Greek, Thai and Vietnamese cooks and growers, Australian cuisine has gone on to embrace dishes and techniques from every country, including Korean, Indian, Polish, Mexican, Russian, Japanese, Danish, Samoan... there's simply no room to list them all. From kefir and kakas to katsu and kimchi, what was once "foreign food" is now just the way we eat around here. No doubt we'll continue to blend and mash and merge dishes to forge the next evolution of Australian food. Lucky lunch boxes.
