Where's the Aussie pride there?

Answer 7

Let's not forget that our very own ex Prime Minister Paul Keating once described our location as the "@rse end of the world".

So what can we really expect from foreigners?

New Jersey ... that's somewhere in Africa, right ; )?

Answer 10

Australia? Thats in the suthern hemisphere isn't it?

It sounds like a really awesum country.

Answer 11

The CONTINENT/ISLAND/COUNTRY/UGLY ACCENT country. Under china or something like that

Answer 12

This is not unusual, as most Americans I have met are so self centred and nieve. Wasn't there a show recently where a lot of Americans didn't even know where Washington DC was?

Most of them confuse Australia with Austria and think Iraq is closer to the USA than East Timor as well.

You wonder where the intelligent ones migrate from to the USA.

Answer 13

:D

Answer 20

i live in Australia!!! GO AUSSIE!!!

Answer 21

im from australia

Answer 22

Southern Hemisphere. Next to New Zealand.  

Answer 23

i am not totally sure but i think it a slice of heaven,and just a little west of the too main islands(that is for my kiwi mates)

Answer 24

There seems to be a lot of that going around over there.  They apparently can't find their own country on an unmarked map of the world (because a lot of them don't have maps.....)  Is your sister's friend Miss Teen South Carolina by any chance?  Try blowing up a light-coloured balloon and draw  a picture of Australia and the U.S. on it.  Don't confuse them with any more than two countries.

I wouldn't waste any money buying them an expensive globe of the world right away.  If they like the balloon globe, then consider the real thing for Christmas. (See if you can get one where the countries light up...that might capture their attention.)

Good luck.

Answer 25

It's the biggest island you can find on the map!!

Answer 26

soo true.

I lived in Canada for a year (love the canucks) and i would regularly get asked where i learnt my english! eh?

Also ALOT of people think we are in Europe. Nope that is Austria.

Answer 27

you are joking right. even i know where Australia is on the map and i  live in Australia. is the big island on the map

Answer 28

well lets not hate on americans!

we are awesome!

i happened to know where every continent is on the map, and pretty much the general area of every country.

but its true americans dont really know their own history and other countries history, thats sad because its good to be informed on all news/history.

Answer 29

That is ridiculous.

People are just sad individuals.

My mom was actually born in Germany, grew up in Austrailia, near Melborn in army barracks and moved to the states when she was 22.  So I for sure know where it is, but seriously, this is like 2nd grade history.  You LEARN this in SCHOOL.

Answer 30

well right now im on the east coast of it using my laptop to answer this question! australia is inbetween the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean and is under indonesia and next to newzealand!!

oh and xxkalamixx shut up!!! we dont have ugly accents and whose to say your accent is sooooo great theres not just one proper accent you know no normal one!!!

Answer 31

All I know is its beneath my feet, I tread on its soil everyday.

It is down to the bottom right on a world picture/globe, isn't it?

I agree with pffft! What is New Jersey anyhow? Is it a modified cow, a footy jumper or a place?
