Australia is the best country, island and continent in the world. We're one of a kind.

Located in the Pacific Rim, Australia has been around for ages-50,000 years approx. First inhabited by Aboriginals, then a long time later-1770- the British discovered this land and used it as a penal colony. However there has been some debate that the Dutch discovered it in the 1600s.

Australians are mad about sport, especially cricket and Australian Rules Football, and we don't really give a sh*t about much, for example the Cronulla Race Riots stopped because the Ashes Test Cricket Series was on. This laid back lifestyle is partly due to the cultural diversity and small population.

Out of Australia's 21 million people, over half live on the East Coast. Canberra is the capital, and Sydney is the most populous city, with 4.5 million people in the greater Sydney area.

I, personally, love the Central Coast of New South Wales, because it has great beaches, a great lifestyle, and rainforests about 20 minutes up the road.

Australia kicks arse.
Sure, you go to Europe and America and you think 'wow, this is cool', then you come home to Australia, have a beer, and fire up a Barbecue and think 'but I wouldn't trade this for THE WORLD'

australia is probably one of the better countys in the world. it has awesome cool scenery and accepts people as citisans easier than most other counties.

the government pays people to go to school and to be unemployed. and most of the better people who live here are multi cultural and not rasist.

so in my opinion i think australia is a pretty alright place to live :)

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.

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?"
