You'll be treated well.
Why do you think you would be badly treated?
We are a very friendly bunch over here.
(I will say boasting big mouths are not easily tolerated by the average Aussie, no matter where they come from.)
It sounds like your hobbies are the same as thousands of Australians.
As others have stated our gun laws are very strict and in my opinion that's a good thing.
Also, I'd like to say thank you, Australia is a very beautiful country. We are lucky to live here.

I think you'll have heaps of fun, expect us to make fun of your accent. (I mean it's the same, we expect it when we head overseas) From your explanation 'mudding' here is called four-wheel driving and 'bush-bashing'. I don't know about the shooting and hunting side but you'll defiantely be able to find places to do all the other stuff you said you enjoyed if you're able to get out of the city. I'd recommend heading up north toward the NT and you'll get some good place to do that kind of stuff.

You will find that we have much stricter laws than you do regarding shooting and hunting. All native species are protected by law and you need a licence to shoot any of them. Licences are not handed out liberally, Feral animals - rabbits, cats, foxes, pigs, goats, dogs, camels, donkeys, buffalo, horses etc - can be shot but you would need to check where and when you can do it. You will need to register any guns you own and many types of weapon allowed in the USA are forbidden over here. Forget your handguns unless they are specialised target shooting guns.

Most Aussies I know just LOVE the Texan accent, so expect a few looks when you open your mouth. I think you'd find that we're an open minded country that welcomes anyone who doesn't have an arrogant attitude and if you're looking for an opportunity to explore and fit in with our way of life, then come on over - we look forward to seeing you down here!

You sound just like the majority of people I know. I am from a country town and everyone in my social circle does the same as you so I would say you would be treated like everyone else! You will love it here...it IS beautiful.

Many people have the same hobbies as you in outback australia so that would be a perfect place. Austrlians are laid back as well and wont outcast someone like that anyway.

I dont think so...
city people can be a bit snobbish but i think you get that where ever you would go.
There are some wonderfull country towns that you could visit, depending onwhere in australia you wanted to go.
good luck...and what is mudding?

If Australia is the answer, you asked the wrong question. You will like it better in NZ, albeit there is a bit of Anti-Americanism, it is much more like the States, but do not tell them that!

I guess you would be treated the same as I was when I visited Colledge Station and Brian,Tx. Can't wait to get back.
