(For non-Australians) Just wondering what everyone actually thinks of Australia...?

Question

When I go overseas, everyone seems to think I come from this dusty outback town where we ride kangaroos around and all men are like Crocodile Dundee. Do you all really think that? (I'm after answers from non-Australians and people who haven't been here)

Answer 1

ya....when i think of Australia Kangaroos do come to my kind but I also think about the beaches and all...... I don't think that educated people still think of Australia as u have described it.....because there a lot of books and Information  available of Australia.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

after visiting there several times and knowing a few people from there as well....i think it is a rather beautiful country.....and being the loner i am i very much am attracted to the wide open spaces.....being a pilot i am attracted to the use of aircraft for transportation in the more rural areas....and on a strictly superficial note......i haven't met an ugly woman from there yet....they all, to the last one have been super hot....must be something in the water there....if my career and 6 figure salary weren't here in the states, i could seriously consider moving there, but don't think i could live to the standard i am accustomed to there as i do here.....and the accent rocks.....tooo s**y

Answer 4

I lived in Australia for 20 years and I never saw a kangaroo.

Answer 5

I don't really think the people there are like that! But... that is what I think of when I think Australia. That and Finding Nemo. I would love to visit Australia someday though; it sounds like such a neat place. The people there are probably a lot like me, but with neat accents.

Answer 6

Australia's awesome. that's all i can describe it as.

now that I basically lived here for 6-7 years and in Uni i think it's a nice place. It has its downsides (like being bloody hot in summer, gets up to around 40 degrees in bathurst) and Abos. Can't stand the buggers.

Answer 7

personally, i think people are friendly and the place is very clean.
