What do you think of Australia?

[kartmanlol]

That's where you're wrong my friend, drop bears we call them:P nah just stirring, they're cute, cuddly and lazy.

OT: Beer, Cricket and Shrimps on the barbie :P

Lamb on the barbie, get it right

[Krunk]

Moved here when I was 5 and been loving it ever since.

lol, the thing is i have never heard anyone actually say shrimps, only prawns

Big snakes, spiders, and sharks.
Also lots of dingos, kangaroos, and outback steakhouses.

[Wishblade]

A big ol' island nation... Love it, keep being awesome!

I think it's incredibly expensive. $20AUD for a 24 case of Pepsi. Oh, and too many deadly animals to even attempt to count.

I have never been to australia, but the first things popping up in my mind when I hear the word Australia is:

Surfing
Beaches
Desert
Sand
Deadly animals
Large knives
and.. CRIKEY (R.I.P Steve Irwin)

Your right, we are incredible expensive. Most things are 50-100% more than the US apart from food(don't get me started on cars and bikes)

[Skizo]

And you guys have that big problem with dingos eating babies

The difference is in pay as well though man...a delivery driver at dominos which is what i used to do gets 18 dollars an hour plus 2 per delivery if you use your own car...but over there its what like ... 5 dollar minimum wage? i think over here minimum wage is now 10 or 12 dollars...used to be 8 but gone up

footy is awesome!

The media has blown the "dangerous creatures of australia" way out of proportion.

Yes we have tons of dangerous creatures...but unlike you guys in US...all the dangerous creatures are hundreds/thousand of klms away from general population. You guys have bears and crocodiles going into peoples homes in the US....that is unheard of here.

TDLR - Australia is dangerous, if you're 1000klms+ away from a city.

[Rocket Surgeon]

I'd like to go there because I'm an animal nut, and I'd love to see the wildlife. Especially the dangerous wildlife

Bro. Australia is literally identical to the US if you're within 1000klms of a city.

Source: Lived in cities... AUS (Melbourne) and in the US (New York). Same shit, NY is just bigger with more people...other than that...same shit.

This is mostly true apart from snakes and funnel webs

[Shifthappens]

Chanses to die of a snake or spider bite here is million times less likely then it is to die in a car crash.
Dont listen to any of that deadly animals etc crap, its all exaggerated too much.

People here are great, Friendly, always saying thank you and please and most of the time treating each other equal no matter what job or how much money you have... excluding junkies, i hate them all, living in a country like this and wasting their life on drugs.

PS: Goldcoast is AWESOME!

Too obese, too religious, and too patriotic -- but not quite as much as America.

Snakes + funnelwebs + redbacks say hi.

I've never been there but the images of it that show up in google look nice. Your prime minister bragged about the Australian economy at the G20 summit in Mexico wich annoyed the other leaders.
