I've never really understood the Vegemite thing myself.

Can't say I know anyone who eats it.

I've heard it's a byproduct of fermenting beer.

It's probably the sludge scraped from the inside of the barrel with a shitload of salt added.

It's a stereotype food of Australians that likely does not really ring true for most Aussies. I think it got made famous by the old 80's song by The band Men At Work. I have spoken with one guy who ate it, he said it's horrible.

he's right. You see it around a lot, I think it's more a kids thing.
It's not like the Fosters stereotype where I don't even see it in shops.

You are right Dave!

According to Wikipedia:

Vegemite is a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract. It is a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits, and filling for pastries such as Cheesymite scroll. It is similar to British, New Zealand, and South African Marmite and to Swiss Cenovis.
Vegemite is made from used brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty — similar to beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.
