Probably not. Do this in Europe and you won't pass on your genes.
Evolution in action.

This doesn't work in Aus. Look left. Obvious,

Look both ways, but be aware that when you step off the kerb, the
traffic is generally going to be coming from your right, unless it's a
one-way street or similar oddity.
Oops.... you are, of course, correct. Look right. Left is for Europe/US.
Left+right+behind+above+down manholes is for bicycle couriers. I've been a
