From my friends, I heard so many things about australia. And I think it is a good country. So It would be lovely to know anything special or interesting about australia.

Aussies are informal and “laid back,”
Our fashions and entertainment differ little from those in Europe and North America.
Our humour is often characterized as sarcastic, ironic, and self-deprecating.
Drinking and gambling is a very important aspect of Australian popular culture – Beer being the top choice!
Australian cuisine has kangaroo and crocodile on the menu (you can buy kangaroo meet in any supermarket butcher department. Barbecues (“the barbie”) is the Australian pastime.
Traditional Aboriginal Outback cuisine consists of such unique foods as kangaroo, wombat, turtle, eel, emu, snake, and witchetty grubs.
Vegemite, a salty, dark-brown yeast extract, is an Australian icon and used on toast for breakfast. You must try some while you are here otherwise they will not let you leave the country, it is custom.
To be a true Aussie you need to know the slang used.

Australia is huge compared to NZ. NZ really does have the four seasons. Some parts of Australia does too, but much more diverse - as we also have the outback and the tropical way of life ….

Where does one start? There is a lot of information about Australia. Googling "Australia" gets 412,000,000 hits.
A good place to start would be Bill Bryson's book "Down Under". That will tell you a lot and point you in the direction of more information. It is an interesting and enjoyable read as well.

You can find out lots about Australia when you go to a library. Go there and find books, travel guides, books with photos, and about its history.

It's a great place to live.
Go and hire the DVD/Video called "The Castle". Great Aussie movie. It gives you an insight to Australian humor and I'm sure you will enjoy watching it.

The film was one of Eric Bana early movie's that kick started his career.

Brisbane is a very cool city. Beautiful weather year round. Believe it or not they like Americans. I was there for a week, and a woman actually said hi to me! But wouldn't take me home to her place...boo hoo hoo.
