Oh, definatly Steve Irwin people

Probably wasn't helped by Ant and Dec in hats with corks dangling off them, exclaiming that the air was muggy.

I don't live in WA, but I reckon that saying 99% of it is desert can't be true. I know that there are a few good forests there. Granted, it's like 70% desert at least, but not 99

All righty then mates? If thats all settled and done with, me and an' a couple o' blokes are gonna hop down in our kangaroomobiles to my place and cook some bangers and mash on the barbie. Then, we haveta' sort out tha Croc infestation in ma' backyard swimmin hole. Mates, I'll have to use my natural Aussie Croc wrestling skills to bring down that little whopper. So... G'Day mates, talk to you later.

I feel like I really have to quote my friend who went to Australia and came back and said this to us, "I swear, Australia BREEDS hotties." She found someone who looked like Justin Timberlake >_> and stared at a construction worker (who had his shirt off).

Anyway, uhm....kangaroos, koalas, kiwi bird, Lyle bird (this was something I read from this book in primary school) and the home in a tree trunk.

And the beaches. And I've always believe that Australia has a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Oh oh oh! And my favourite: Santa in swimsuit! Which reminds me, my friend still had not taken a picture of the santa and send it to me...

*whine* Why don't they breed where I live!?

We're bred in Sydney we are. I'm a prime example

If there's one thing Home and Away, Neighbours and Sleepover Club have taught me, it's that Australians have horrible school uniforms. Correct?

Sadly, while I'd like to say don't believe Neighbours...

It's true. Have I ever shown you a picture of my Winter uniform? I must do so.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot the sports point. Though was it really necessary to text me at 4am telling me my country sucks at sport?

'Bout as necessary as filling letter with a half a pound of sparkles..

Being the uneducated person I was 4 years ago I met someone who was from...dang I can't remember where now, but I remember looking at him and going "There's cities other than Sydney?!"

*smacks her lips*

Yeah.
