Many thanks to Kristi for sending this Snuggie Sighting from the streets of Sydney. Look at the poor dog in that picture - I'm not sure if the Snuggie for Dogs has hit Australia yet or not. Here's the Snuggie Australia Website.
Labby, Camilla and Stav take the Snuggie to Game 3 of the State of Origin, played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane recently.

Labby and Stav hoist a brew while staying cozy warm in their Snuggies. Camilla opts for the less fashionable (and less fun) leather jacket - and forces a smile. Inside, she suffers from extreme Snuggie envy. Camilla needs a Snuggie!
Earlier in the day, Stav wrapped the famous Wally Lewis statue outside of the Suncorp Stadium in a maroon Snuggie.
Great work, Stav. Now all Wally needs is the complimentary booklight!
Is it just me, or is that statue smiling bigger now that he's wrapped in the warmth of the Snuggie??
As was the case in the United States, the Snuggie is now being warmly embraced by radio personalities in Australia. Here's a great pic from a recent Snuggie excursion on the Triple M - 104.7!

Snuggie fever
This just in: I've just received word that the Snugglette, the Snuggie for Kids, is now available in Australia. The Snugglette comes in Pink and Blue and comes with slipper socks. Go to SnuggieAustralia.com to learn more.
First, let's have a moment of silence for our friends in Melbourne, Team Crikey...our commrades in blanket-sleeved arms...their Snuggie was stolen. Nothing can fill the emptiness. No more blanket with sleeves. All that is left are memories from their recent party with their good friend, the Snuggie.
The Snuggie continues its march toward blanketing the earth...with sleeves, hitting the Southern Hemisphere in the midst of Winter. Here are some of the first Snuggie Sightings to come in from Down Under.

Australian Snuggie BMX... You can't do this in a blanket!
(how long until Snuggie BMX is an Olympic Sport?)
Regardless of where you might find yourself on this little marble in the universe which we call Earth, you can proudly wear the Snuggie out and about.
Be sure to check out Team Crikey for more Australian Snuggie Sightings. I hear they are going to be posting updates about further features and fleecy fun with the Snuggie. Someday soon in Australia, our friend the Snuggie is going to be bigger than Crocodile Dundee.

Here's a clip from the Australian Talk Show, RoveDaily. In it, Will Ferrell, Martin Short and others discuss the Snuggie while wearing bathrobes backwards (they could not locate Snuggies for the show...too bad).

I've been following Rove on Twitter and his quest to find Snuggies in Australia.
Update: Snuggie Now Available for Purchase Online in Australia
So, what's Snuggie Corp to do now that the weather is warming up here in the States? Look to the Southern Hemisphere of course, and specifically Australia.
mUmBRERLLA is reporting that the Snuggie commercial is hitting the airwaves in the Land Down Under.
There's soon to be Australian Snuggie Sightings.
