Yeah i know, and they think all australians say g'day mate, and wear thongs and singlets and have beer bellied. This is such a stereotypical world that we live in.....
Australia always embraces aussies when they become famous, especially John Howard. If people don't become successful in Aus, and make it big in America then all of a sudden John Howard's like "Our little Aussie..." and it sux big time...

LOL! No!
The time when I haven't set foot on Australia, I thought the kangaroos are all over the place meaning ,even in cities , they are happily hopping around. And that Australia has a lot of young people.
Well, when I travelled there, i found out that the kangaroos are more to the wilderness side or the zoos. Plus, there are a lot of creatures which Ive never seen and never read before like the cute wombat, flying foxes and sea lions.
As I wandered around Sydney, I could see the population is aging. A lot of elderly folks around. No wonder theres a call for "more babies" policy to boost Australian population.

Geez you guys must be in the cities man - crikey I wrestle croc's, go fishin, catch & tame brumbies, and ave a few kanga's in me back yard. Never been down south but don't ya ave kanga's in Sydney or Melbourne as we do in the outback. Where's you all been living??? In what country??? This is australia so tell em we say sheila's coz we do up here in the terrioritry. Geez you guys in Sydney & Melbourne are rooly trendy p##f's. Betcha haven't put a pig or snake on ya barbie????? I read about some of those men who wax ya chest's in those cities- trendy p@@f's as i said.
Has anyone told those tin tanks about the "Great australian stampede of 1933" when a group of renegade Koala's wiped out a whole Queensland town when everyone was p#ss#d on grog?
Don't be ashamed of our kanga taxi's - be proud of em. don't know how ya guys get round down south but up here there's no easier way to get round whilst drinking a Darwin Stub - a darwin stub is a beer which is a bottle of beer nearly as big as a bloody bucket.
The only people stupid enough to drink Fosters are the tin tanks & the poms.
At least we have smart animals such as flipper & skippy
Be proud you Aussies & keep em bloody guessing.

and I had my hopes up too. I am rather sad now. But its okay. Its not your fault. Steve Irwin was the best. Lets not forget that. His moves were outrageous. In honesty I knew you all didn't ride alligators and wrestle roos. I guess we would just like to fancy ya'll as the rugged type for some reason or another.

omg lol.
NO who would think THAT? actually, type-casting is best done by americans because their television and movies always makes people from different countries look the same way. Their news never looks at other countries objectively, it shows other countries as weirdo idiots if it ever talks about other countries at all.
That's the opinion up here in canada about american news. We have good global news coverage here and understand that you guys are just like us but with reverse weather systems.

Yep, some ignorant human beings do and further, some ignorant human beings additionally think of that human beings in Canada stay in igloos. some ignorant Aussies think of that human beings are aggressively patriotic. Honey, that's all approximately instructing your self and lack of knowledge would not discriminate.

No, we certainly don't think most of you do that. We know there are some Australians that do. Why do Australians and others think of us as all sleeping with movie stars and driving car chases with the cops? It's called a stereotype, get used to it, they aren't going away.
