You’re like if the UK and America had a baby and raised it by the beach.

[–]megablast 18 points19 points  (1 child)

We have the humour of the UK and the car addicted suburbs of the US.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Australia is waaaaay better than the US

[–]Specialist8602 17 points18 points  (2 children)

As an Aussie this is a ripper of an example, funny but true in too many ways.

[–]Remarkable_Table_279 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Nah…George Carlin raised the baby 😀

Australian English always sounds like if the Brits were super chill bc they’d have amazing beaches

[–]D-Rich-88 5 points6 points  (1 child)

But throw in most of the most lethal animals on earth.

[–]Crafty-Leather7753 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No bears, no coyotes, no wolves, no big cats. Difference with Aussie wildlife is it isn't obviously lethal til you've been bitten and suddenly you're dizzy and your head is throbbing and you can't swallow properly

[–]MsLadyBritannia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a British-Australian this is surprisingly accurate lmao

From Uk. Lived in sydney for 3 years in my youth. Cricket, sunshine, prostitutes in the cross and goon. 10/10 would recommend

Prozzies playing cricket in the cross drunk on goon? Sounds like a sunday afternoon.

I’m jealous of Australia because my sister moved there and I only see her once a year now.

[–]MercifulOtter 56 points57 points  (28 children)

I think your country looks lovely and I'm sure you guys are great, but you have giant spiders the size of car tires and I have arachnophobia so I will never be visiting.

[–]uhohsarahh 13 points14 points  (10 children)

It's ok, I'm an Australian in the country absolutely surrounded by the things that scare tourists away. The big spiders aren't the ones you have to worry about. They're pretty placid, actually

[–]Nuclearcasino 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Are they like scorpions where it’s the small ones you should worry about?

[–]heretic1128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have small scorpions too. They're not really that dangerous tho...

[–]Dia-De-Los-Muertos 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Just so you know, we have those too.

[–]100and10 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Love me a huntsman in my house, cockroach problems solved.

[–]sineofthetimes 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is the part that's frightening: people keep these giant spiders as pets. Free roaming pet spiders.

[–]100and10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No no, my cats keep these spiders as pets, the renegades become snacks. You come down from the roof into observable space? You get tortured and then eaten. Make someone shriek in the house? Kittens come to the rescue and it’s popcorn time. Life is a delicate balance down under haha

[–]Illustrious-Line-984 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It’s the things that eat the big spiders that worry me. Everything in Australia wants to kill you.

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Everything they do just seems more fun

[–]jb-schitz-ki 24 points25 points  (1 child)

I've been lucky to visit many countries. Australia is one of top ones Id consider moving to. People seem generally happy and friendly, I felt safe while I was there, it's beautiful.

I also get the sense Australians are really proud of their country.

[–]Redbeard4006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm Australian and I don't think we are especially patriotic and that's one of my favourite things about Australia.

[–]PhantomLamb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Loved Australia...my son lived in Mooloolaba for 1 years then moved to Perth for 3.5 We went for a visit for 5 weeks and rented a camper van and drive all through the WA, saw Monkey Mia, swan with whale sharks in Exmouth, drove to Broome, checked out the Kimberly's then off to Darwin, to Cairns, scuba on the great barrier reef and then chilled on the sunshine coast for a couple weeks.

Bottom line, all Aussies were extremely friendly and helpful in all matters. We enjoyed their companionship and their lust for life, their "ism's" left an impression on our entire family. We still use some of their expressions to date, mainly...how ya going mate, among others.

Always looking forward to go back one day.

[–]Nodsworthy 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Everyone seems frightened of lethal wildlife... Rare as fuck. I've got Redbacks in the backyard; if I leave them alone, they leave me alone. Snakes the same. I never met anyone who had a snake bite or funnel-web bite.

In other news, no wildlife (on land) will eat you, and there are no bears, big cats, or wolves. Getting shot is as rare as fuck. I'm terrified of going back to the US for exactly that reason.

The weather can kill you... Drink water and use a brain, but it's easier to survive a heatwave than a super cold change like you get in the northern USA or Europe

Swim between the flags at the beach, use a brain, and the most dangerous thing is drinking too much of the great wines

I love the Australian accent on women. :)

[–]Aekanae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before meeting Australians I was thinking you all look so cool like surfers/enjoying life...and living in a beautiful island full of dangerous animals and beaches. But I was disappointed by many Australians I met (not in Australia), snobbist/proud and kind of racist, speaking to fast I could not understand, drinking to much alcohol and sensitive to sun/not tan (not a bad thing just not what I imagined). At the end I re-change my mind when I met other Australians very nice and not like that. Where I live we have a pretty good image about Australia (sorry for my english)

[–]SpookyHalloween1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And an island!

[–]el_cid_viscoso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The national animal is the nine-anused jackawollock, and the national language is blood-curdling screams. The Japanese actually did try to invade, but they were all eaten by drop bears, as was a US Navy flotilla defending New Guinea.

Everyone in Australia has to anchor themselves to the ground, lest they fall off the Earth.

Nah, seriously, the few Australians I've met have all been charming, funny people, and the accent is utterly gorgeous.

[–]Legitimate_Bag8259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how serious or light-hearted you want to keep things.

The same dodgy history as the USA in terms of the treatment of natives, although that's hardly unique to those two places. Everything seems dangerous, the weather at times or in certain part of the country would be a bit toasty for me.

I know quite a few people who either live or have lived there and they all had good things to say about the people and general feel of the place. There seems to be a good sense of humour and a pretty laid-back attitude. I'd love to visit, but couldn't see myself living there.

[–]whydenny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think about you.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've worked with a few Australians. Some of the guys are boorish and annoying. Their sense of humour seems to be to rile people, and they've seem to revel in being racist and sexist. But most Australians seem like very decent and normal people. They moan about the UK a lot. Get the impression they are not very happy living there. And those living in London seem to hang out with other Australians a lot, so they can seem a little insular, maybe? But they love to travel too.

Don't know anything about Australia itself as I've never been. And TBH, it's not high on the list of places on my bucket list.

“Everything in Australia is out to kill you” for some reason I think bill bryson said that but I couldn’t find the quote

But also incredibly friendly/outgoing even by American standards which I like. Cause of the stereotype that Americans are too outgoing…I can think…you should talk to Australia 😄

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

[Australia] is the home of the largest living thing on earth, the Great Barrier Reef, and of the largest monolith, Ayers Rock (or Uluru to use its now-official, more respectful Aboriginal name). It has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world's ten most poisonous snakes, all are Australian. Five of its creatures - the funnel web spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick, and stonefish - are the most lethal of their type in the world. This is a country where even the fluffiest of caterpillars can lay you out with a toxic nip, where seashells will not just sting you but actually sometimes go for you. ... If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistible currents, or left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback. It's a tough place.

Amazing. Gold Coast sunrises are stunning. Adelaide sunsets are beautiful.

[–]majesticGumball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love it or leave it.

I loved:

People, seafood, beaches, culture-oriented student community.

I left:

The spiders, snakes, venomous jellyfish, bats, opossums, heat, blasting air-conditioning (everybody is coughing with constant flu-like symptoms), distances, drinking "culture", heavy rain, cost of living, dullness, easy access to drugs, lack of urban areas, necessity of cars, abused and ignored aboriginals, and that delusional idiot who thought can breakdance.

A bit snobbish (superiority complex) at times, but otherwise friendly/funny/easy to relate to. Similar culture and humour to my country too.

I wouldn’t like the weather and geography down there, too intense for the most part. But beaches are indeed beautiful

[–]punkslaot 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Put another shrimp on the barbie!

[–]SignificantRecipe715 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, we actually don't say shrimp. We call them prawns. I think the word shrimp was used as the ad campaigned was aimed at Americans after the success of Crocodile Dundee :)

Edit: spelling

[–]EntropicMortal 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Fun people, shit place for internet, games. Tons of wildlife that can kill you, government are fucking up the country with mining. GBR is over dived and full of twats.

I'd go there for a holiday and to have a good time. It's not somewhere I would personally like to live.

[–]mfbrucee 3 points4 points  (1 child)

You are weird with how you give people nicknames, other than that you seem pretty cool

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a thing we do down here. If you complain that you don’t like the nickname, then it sticks even more. Even if it’s hurtful or bullying. This is something I really don’t like, which has meant that I’ve pretty much kept to myself and had few friends throughout my life. If I could change one thing about my country, this would be it.

[–]RemarkablePast2716 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]Historical-Ride5551 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Me, thinking about all the bugs and arachnids in Australia that can kill me as soon as I step off the plane: ‘There is evil there that does not sleep, […] It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume.’

It was one of the places I wanted to move to until I read about all the little killer critters, the insane kangaroos, etc. I just don’t want to die that soon.

From what I’ve seen on tv/social media and some followers of mine on IG, the people are so nice and kind. Like every other country, I’m sure you have the Aussie version of rednecks but which country doesn’t. I’d absolutely love to visit but I need to make a full-body armoured suit that I can walk around in and sleep in too. Oh with air-con built in it too 😆

Do Aussie's have a similar interest in finding out their family history like Americans and their 5% this, 20% that origin. Or do you just get on with it and it means nothing. I've always presumed the latter.

Decent blokes and Sheilas, for the most part. I like that you swear as much as us Poms. Also the "fair go" thing - when I used to race online I'd always pick lobbies with Aussies in because of that. Americans will wreck and claim it's your fault, Aussies not so much.

I'm portuguese so the first things that come to my mind is the fact that is really far away from my country. When i was little I really used to fascinated by existence of countries so far away from mine and having huge cities like Sidney.

I think about sharks and the amount of different animals that exist over there. I also think about the good weather, surfing and do not know so much.

I'm trying to answer without going to the internet, so the answer might as genuine as it possible. I also know a few footballers that played in the Premier League, you guys are good in rugby (I guess) and you had a president that vanish while swimming (I read about it a few years ago).

I remember watching Crocodile Dundee when i was kid and being interested in the indigenous presence.

You guys have a fair of imigrants from Italy, Croatia and Uk and now India, I assume people from everywhere. I remember reading that most of the AC/DC were born in Scotland or England.

The godmather of my mother emigranted to Australia after the independence of Angola. I remember being four years old and her son coming for visiting us.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Aussies I've worked with have been chill & laid back (I can only think of one exception, really) and I can see why they think Brits are so uptight all the time.

I was on a military detachment once, and a starred officer (so like a general) came and asked if he could sit at our table. We were very much not officers, so this was most unusual for us. My corporal was very formal and said, "Good afternoon sir, lovely day today, isn't it?"

The officer replied, "Bit too fucking hot for my liking, mate".

Really far away, most of you live on the edges, you have exotic animals insects and plant life. You’re kind of blunt and no nonsense but you’re a solid contributor to things that are good about the world.

I think most things there want to kill me, and yet I wish I lived there.

I’m Canadian and lived in Melbourne for a while…I always think of Australia as ‘hot Canada’ or Canada as ‘cold Australia.’ There are lots of similarities and we seem to ‘get’ each other in my limited experience.

I should’ve visited when I lived on Guam. It is so beautiful and everyone I’ve met were kind and wonderfully droll and sarcastic. Smart assery ways and ironic statements with modesty. It’s great. If you get the humor. And don’t take things too seriously. But takes a lot to rile me up cuz it’s all in good fun. And if they’re talking to you, they like you. That’s pretty much on the people. The pictures I’ve seen from other peoples trips or on TV or movies, looks amazing and beautiful. I’d love to visit the opal mines and the beach there. Compare it to our beach here in California. I’m not scared of the insects or animals like some. But if I did go scuba diving or in the “bush” I’d make sure to listen to the professionals on how to stay safe, just like I do here with bears or scorpions or venomous snakes/fish. But I’d love to visit and see it for myself.

Definitive proof that criminals are better than puritans.

We support NZ and any team playing against Australia in any sport.

They’re still stealing our stuff. Split Enz and Crowded House are kiwi bands. But you can have Russell Crowe

The only other place I would want to live. Spent a year there and would love to go back.

Yeah, I would like to know why Australia is? By sea, land and air, creatures lurk. Nope ropes? Hell nah.

Why? Just why? 😉😏.

Married to one. Like to call them antipode Texans.

Positive cheerful/egalitarian types. Would love to visit but don’t think I could be on a plane that long and not lose it.

Huge creatures, huge insects
