What do you think of Australia?

The land where kangaroos and koalas run through the streets, everyone is known Bruce or Sheila, G'day mate is the only greeting known and the people have close relationships with their sheep...only joking!!\n\nI think Australia is a great country, very similar to my own country South Africa- probably the reason why there are so many South Africans staying in Australia (most noticeably Perth).\n\nAussie women are great (someone like Imogen Bailey-wow) although men of Australia...that's a whole different story.\nI think its cool that Aussies put so much into their sport-especially their cricket and swimming.\nAnd the fact that they are a country that believes in their convictions and are not afraid to stand up for those convictions (even though it may make them unpopular with some other countries) is cool.\n\nAlthough maybe you could get them to stop singing Waltzing Matilda before rugby games...;-)

Yes, absolutely.\n\nThe thing about Australian culture is that we are tough battlers and don’t give in easily.\n\nYou only have to look at the plight of the Socceroos to see that!

Amazing Australia... come to think of it, it's not really that amazing anymore when one consider the phenomenal successes achieved by AUSTRALIANS in sports... it's in their national psyche to be AWESOME in anything they do. Very well done mates.... Go Socceroos!!!

I dislike putting people in categories or boxes, but I'll give you my "general idea" of what I think the Average Aussie (henceforth called AA) is like.  I'd guess the AA is hearty in their humor and their out look on life.  My idea would be that the AA is on the adventurous side.  For some reason, I think the AA loves green bell peppers and really spicy food (where on earth did I get that?)  It would seem obvious, given your famous opera house that the AA loves the performing arts.  We briefly covered Australia in school, I was told it started out as prison island of sorts.\n\nThat's about all I can come up with at this point mate, was I even close?

I cannot conjure up anything edifying for this post.\n\nSo I will leave you with the words of a bunch of drunken yobbos in bay 13.\n\n"AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!"

why would anybody want to go to australia? spiders, snakes, absolutely no gun rights, and (no matter how much you hate it) you are still part of england. oh, at least we can claim we are independent from another country.

Hi I hope that you enjoy your trip to our wonderful country. I think that you will find that most Aussies like and respect all other nationalities the only thing that I will suggest is not to take yourself too seriously and to not expect us to believe that America or Americans are the be all and end all in this world. Just remember that we are Australian and not clones of America and I think that you will get along fine.  I say this to you as the manager of a backpacker hostel in Perth W.A.\nGood Luck

Respect it.\n\nOnly a handful of colonized countries still practice thier indiginous customs in everyday life. \n\nMore is the pity that the Original Australian Citizens do not show a Haka for international Sport. It would be a fantastic tribute to the almost destroyed Aboriginal history of this ancient country.\n\nI am Irish and I live is Australia. I feel a certain connection with the history of both our countries. Centuries of maltreatment, oppression, pillaging, rape, stealing of our lands and the demagogy of both our Heritages.\n\nMy two cents
