For all those that are wondering, a "crow eater" is Aussie Slang for someone that is a resident South Aussie (State, Not general geographic location...)

Interestingly the true origins of the word arent known, the two main thoughs on it are

1. The term comes from our faunal emblem, the piping shrike (http://www.premcab.sa.gov.au/emblems...s/big_badg.jpg)
or
2. During initial exploration of South Australia back in the late 1700's the explorers were forced to kill and eat crows to survive due to food shortages....
