Traditionally a colloquial term for the land of Australia.
A great place of diverse environments and
people.
Does have a history of convict incarceration, as pointed out in other posts. However these convicts were for the most part
men whom were unwilling to kneel to the oppressive English justice system and so were "swept" over to Australia. The results of which have been a nation of extremely hard
men, who have developed a kickass culture of sportsmen and beer drinkers... in other words England chopped off its
balls and sailed em to Oz. hehe
