Australia, the forgotten country?

Question

Hi everyone.

I'm living in Sydney Australia and i feel like the black sheep.

Nobody knows anything about this country except for the people in it, and it's starting to freak me out =o I am happy to be living here and everything but does anyone even know where this little island is located?

am i right or wrong, i just want to know for sure.

thanks so much

Answer 1

You are wrong. Australia is known all over the world.  

I know a lot about your country.  My relatives are living in Sydney and Melbourne too.  I have been to Perth and Fremantle. Quiet place comparatively but I felt safe walking down the streets there.  

My only complaint is that you folks take life quite easy and refuses to do retail business after 6pm.  In Malaysia, shops and departmental stores are open up to 10pm or 11pm on weekends.

Answer 2

Oklahoma, where I live is a unique state. Got International media when the Murrah Fedral Building got bombed, on April 19, 1995.

Answer 3

Two things you said and I can't agree:

1 - Australia is not a little island actually is a big island, is the 6th country in size, I believe is almost of the size of Brazil. Russia, Canada, USA, China, Brazil and Australia. Australia is  surrounded by the Pacific and Indian Oceans separated from Asia by the Arafura and Timor seas. Most part of Australia is deserted, although you find in Queensland tropical forests. The population is 21 million people but don't forget Australia is a very young country,only about 250 years old. 2nd -  I think Australia is very well known around the world, with the sports events, sending troops to overseas, few days ago we comemorated ANZAC Day, our troops fight in Gallipoli, been nominated to the Oscars and other things. It is a beautiful country, and very clean, beautiful beaches, friendly people. I live here 38 years, and I have travelled a lot and I will never leave here to live anywhere else. Give yourself time to know this country and you will love it. ERRL

Answer 4

ya joking.

refugees are lined up to come here.

We have a fantastic welfare scheme. Where else can you go to walk off a plane and get a house, furniture, food and money, money, money for doing nothing and then continue getting money for nothing until you can be educated in english enough to get a job.

I am not down on refuguees at all. They have suffered a lot and deserve a hand up. They are all welcome but they get a lot .  Only in australia

Answer 5

No, Australia isn't the forgotten country.

I've been to Australia for 8 times during the past few years and I certainly come down under again soon.

I had been to all of your states and territories and love the people, flora and fauna.

And I've always known where your country was but as living on the other side of the world it took a long time until I finally came over for my first visit.

Answer 6

are you kidding?  people all over the world have a dream to visit Australia someday

Australia is very well known

Answer 7

yes i know where it si!!!i want to visite it ...i hope soon..but is in the other side of the world (i live in rome!)!!!!!

Answer 8

So, how much do you know about Finland or Austria or Kenya?

I don't think we're forgotten.

To many people we're just another overseas country.
