Just want to know what the general view of Irish people living there is. I know there are many Irish young people living there on a working holiday visa. Have they given themselves a bad or good reputation?! I am going to australia on a WHV and want to know what the general view of us is!!

I know that this will sound very stereotypical but I find that all Irish people are funny! They tell the best jokes, have a great time and are prepared to have a laugh at themselves.
We have heaps of Irish pubs here and there are also lots of Irish descendents.
I would say that the Irish have a very good reputation in Australia. I think that our sense of humour, willingness to give anyone a go, relax and be happy makes both of the cultures very similar.

Irish people are welcome anywhere and particularly in Australia. They have not given themselves a bad reputation.

The Australians probably view the Irish just like we Americans do - a bunch of crazy drunks.
