When you hear Australia what comes into mind?

Question

Do American's really think that Kangaroo's live in our backyards? I've had some tourists ask me and just wanted to know if that's what you all think

Answer 1

Crocodile hunter.

Chad Reed.

A country worth visiting.

Answer 2

We have plenty of wildlife and nature although i really don't think of that when i hear Australia i think:

beach, sun, people, coast, city,

i live in western Australia and i seriously don't know anyone with a kangaroo as a pet! Americans (not all) just think we talk weird and we have a big rock, but don't we have news for them. this is a wonderful country and i get teary hearing "still call Australia home" and the national anthem. its there bad and they missing out, besides were else can you play Australian rules football greatest sport ever.

Answer 17

I live here, I don't see what is so wierd when it comes to Australia.

When i think of england I think of rolling hills and snow,

When i think of america I thing of lush forest, big lakes and big cities.

So whatever weird ideas you have of us, we also have back at you.

PS. you may not believe this, but we used to have 2 kangaroos in our back yard.They were injured so we looked after them untill they got better.
