Answer 2

There's the Big Banana, the Big Pineapple, the Big Trout, the Big Lawnmower, and the Big Matches, out the back of the art gallery. Lotta Big Things.
I think the Sydney Harbour Bridge is more impressive than the Opera House. The Opera House is kinda dated.
And what about Sydney Tower? I can't wait until they pull that down. It always reminds me of a coffee jar stuck on a rusty spike.
But I can say these things, I live here.

Answer 3

I know that you live in a huge country
With all kinds of environments.
I always watch the bush tucker guy on TV:highly interesting
You got the biggest crater from the whole world caused by space material that fell down:amazing:you got 8/10 most dangerous snakes:blgh
Many kangaroos and lost Joey's.
Great that people give them a chance
i could go on for hours,but I RUN OUT OF INK:
Sorry:one thing:i find the original inhabitants more than amazing:my compliments to them.
Have a nice Monday afternoon.

Answer 4

I lived in Sydney for almost a year when I was about eleven so what I know is filtered through the mists of time. I know there was a shark-infested bay near my house where I spent countless fruitless hours staring over the water in hopes of seeing a single dorsal fin. I know that the uniform I had to wear in school was scratchy and unflattering. I know "jumpers" is a reference to sweaters and not people committing suicide and that "thongs" are actually sandals and not underwear. I know that kangaroos have a very floppy handshake since I shook hands with one at the local zoo. I know that the architect who designed the Sydney Opera House based his design concept on sections of fruit... orange peels I believe. I know that the hot dogs in Australia tasted better than they do here for some reason, along with the fudge Popsicles called Paddle Pops (do they still sell those?) I know candies were called lollies, and that there were many I loved that are unavailable here... like jelly snakes and Cherry Ripes. I know all the lyrics to Waltzing Matilda and Laugh Kookaburra since we sung both of them almost every day at school... and I know I'd like to go back some day for a visit since I have so many fond memories of all the people and places.

Answer 5

I don't know many landmarks actually....the Opera House would be the only one I could name...although I would assume there isn't kangaroos jumping on the opera house

Answer 6

Well, I've only been there twice, but besides Sydney Opera House, theres white sand beaches, Blue Mountains, etc. You can look it up online too. And no, there are no kangaroos jumping on the opera house.

Answer 9

You live on the largest continent that is an island.
You have some of the most deadliest snakes in the world.
Australia was originally populated with prisoners from England that nobody wanted.
And of course the Aborigines were there first.
And Midnight Oil was a great band, lmao.
