Fast facts on Australia:
-- Our population is 20,595,860 appox; and increases by one person every 2 minutes and 12 seconds. (Unlike the US which breeds like rabbits: one person every 10 seconds...)
-- 95% of those people live in cities similar to those in the US and UK, albeit a little smaller. But our infrastructure is comparable.
-- Over 75% of our adult population disagree with the Government's Foreign Policies (well... actually, almost all of its policies, but we can't be stuffed starting a civil war to make things change...).
-- Our military IS the most highly trained combat force in the world.
-- Our medical research is the best in the world. Most of the major breakthroughs in the last few years came from Australia. Especially cancer research. Other nations ask our scientists for help...
-- Our public healthcare system doesn't just rival that of the US, it KICKS ITS ARSE! Every citizen of Australia is entitled to FREE basic public healthcare and emergency hospital treatment (if necessary).
-- Our education system also rivals those of other 1st world nations.
-- Steve Irwin is a rare specimen of low-brow individuals without formal education and does not represent the vast majority of us. (In simpler terms for Americans and Kiwis: Irwin is an idiot that most of us want to beat to death).
-- Koalas are not BEARS!!
-- Humvees are sold in Australia.
-- In country towns, kangaroos RARELY hop down main streets.
-- Gun related deaths in the US each year: over 10,000. Gun related deaths in Australia each year: less than 70. (33 deaths per 1 million people in the US; 3.5 deaths per 1 million people in Australia. Why? In Australia we have car and motorcycle enthusiasts, in the US they have firearm enthusiasts and no gun control... go figure...).

Australia is the best country in the world. Period. We drink a lot of beer. We play a lot of sports (and usually win). We are world leaders in cancer research (so if one day you get cancer and are given a cure, it came from here). We are patriotic. We all hate our Prime Minister.

Get the australiamug. The oldest continent in the world, it`s also home to the aborigines who have the oldest living culture on earth, so if you want history then this is the place to be! The nation of australia officially began in 1901 and was spawned largely from the 1850s gold rush which attracted a few million settlers to our shores from all over the world. From 1901 to today australia has grown to become one of the most multi-cultural nations in the world.

Get the australiamug. The worst country ever. And I'm from Australia. You know it's shit because all you hear is dickheads saying "Australia is the best because we're laid back and like the 'footy'". Australia isn't laid back at all and society focuses it's attention on being within the top 5 most obese countries and also, cutting anyone down who has ambitions. The entertainment industry is laughable and anyone pursuing a career (I mean real career like being a musician or game designer not some shitty job like 'accounting') will have to leave this country to get any success. If you walk out on the street wearing cool clothes people give you odd looks for not being shit like them. This place is just another 9-5 fatass loser place with ugly slut women. NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS COUNTRY! THE ONLY ONES SAYING IT ROCKS ARE LOSERS WHO DON'T HAVE ANY ASPIRATIONS AT ALL!
Not only this, but australia has this thing where they remove anything awesome. i call it the AUSTRALIA'S CAMPAIGN ON ANYTHING GOOD. First they removed pop tarts because they were too awesome, then skittles but skittles returned. then they got rid of gummi worms then they started pulling bullshit like taking away my favourite beer from pubs and then when movies came out the best movies they'd only show in unknown random cinemas in the middle of nowhere. whenever i buy something like food and start to enjoy it a few weeks later they get rid of it. NO ONE NOTICES THIS SHIT. IN FACT, ANY AUSTRALIAN WON'T NOTICE HOW SHIT EVERYTHING IS.
what would you want to come here for? well we have the biggest rock in the world...oh well we have the beach? oh wait so does every other country.

Get the australiamug. Australia is the most dangerous country in the world. But it is only when the dim-witted toursits come and go swimming around in ponds then complain when crocs attack them. Stupid toursits. If you don't want to be eaten by crocks, attacked by sharks, stung by bees, eaten by drop bears, stalked by bunyips...then don't go there.
When you visit Australia, and go camping. Don't complain about our Vegemite. We love it. If you don't, don't whinge and whine cause we don't care, get stuffed would probably be the reply you'll get if you complain.
Don't compare us to or mistaken us for kiwis. we ain't no russell crows, and we dont sexually assault sheep.
Don't steal our tim tams. We will chase you.

Get the australiamug. One of the most beutiful countries in the world with low crime rate and very few racists.
We are one of the best countries at sport (try beat us at Cricket or Rugby)
We have some of he best doctors in the world and are one of the most medically advanced countries.
New Zeland you can have Russel Crowe back but clear all the phones out of the way first. We don't hate kiwis we think the sound funny because they say "Fesh and cheps" for fish and chips and "sex" for six but we don't hate them they are Australia Jr.
We do not sound anything like Steve Irwin and we don't have excess amounts of Kangaroos, Koalas, wombats etc.
Our government is a constitutional monarchy.

Our Prime Minister is John howard he is better than the only other alternative (Kim Beasley) so until the other parties put up a good candidate we're keeping Howard.
Canberra is the nation's capital and it's beutiful city with lots of flora, all the convinence of the city without the negatives.
Hobart is in Tasmania and that's where our Cadbury factory is apart from that no one cares about Tassie.
Sydney has the best sites such as the sydney harbour bridge and the opera house. A great City.
Melbourne is where neighbours is filmed and is a bit of a scum whole but it does have some great things too.
Perth, the worst city in Australia they think they are better than everyone else.
Brisbane is our sunny city up in beutiful Queensland (who suck at state of orgin)

Get the australiamug. Pretty cool place overall. If you can't decide between backpacking in SE Asia or joining a frat, then do the east coast of Oz. Heard the West coast is amazing but didn't make it personally. Watch out for schoolies in Byron.
In person, Aussies are incredibly friendly. For some reason though whenever an aussie posts online they turn into raving america-hating lunatics. We Canucks tend to do it sometimes too, but have earned the right for obvious reasons.
As friendly as Aussies are I tend to prefer Kiwis for friendliness and general backwardness. Aussies remind me of Canadians and Kiwis remind me of Newfies.
Negative: Evil a.k.a. Rupert Murdoch is from there.

Steve from Brissy: "G'day you bloody yank! Footy?"
Danny from Texas: "Football? That there Australia is bigger'n Dallas."
John from Toronto: "Soccer? Whatever, hockey's back eh? Leafs are due man."
Brendan from South Island sticks: "Tough bikies hey? Gotta tinnie?"
Moike from Newfoundland: "If I 'ad a face da likes o yers, me son, I'd walk back'rds. Where you 'longs to?"
Steve: Bloody roo in the billabong!
