Poor Americans! You only have an idea about something when it has to do with your own country.
And YES, the commode does end up in Australia if you flush it. Simply try.
You're believing everything.

The way that Australia is positioned on the map in the world. Other side of the world! No, when you flush your commode, it does not end up there. LOL I can tell you, however, that water will go down the drain there in the opposite direction from U.S.A.

Why Australia is called ‘the land down under?’
Australia is sometimes called ‘the land down under’ because it lies in the Southern Hemisphere and a little more than one third of it is in the tropics.
Concerning the flushing of your toilet (as we call it), try flushing a message in a bottle and I'll let you know if it arrives.

Hi, I don't really know,this is a good question.
I will contact the UVNSW tomorrow and see if they can help me,if not I will ask John Howard he will know.
My wife informs me could be something to do with the Kangaroo"s because they dig holes and live under the ground.When shooters go to the bush to shoot the Roos they ask the farmers "have you seen any Kangaroo"s?" and the farmer will answer
"they are down under"
Hope this helps Waltz.
PS: I could give you an answer to the rest of your question,but I wont as I will be bard from Yahoo for life.

I hate to disappoint you but the world is, in fact, the other way round with the South Pole on the top and the North Pole on the bottom. It is only the northern hemisphere cartographers, who were in the majority at the time, that put north at the top of the map.
We Australians, who walk around the right way up, often feel sorry for you poor suckers in the northern hemisphere all those thousands of kilometres below us. It makes us feel quite superior and smug - which we are, of course. We happily take your mild insults like "down under", it doesn't bother us one bit. We know where we stand and who is upside down :o)

colloquialism referring to all things Australian, which is known as "the land Down Under" for its position in the southern hemisphere. This is because when you look at a map in the most common way, Antarctica at the 'bottom' of the page, north appears to be "up" and south; "down"
also a little more than one third of it is in the tropics.

some people are so ignorant about the world, your sh-t stays in your country where it belongs
the water flushes the opposite way in the southern hemisphere,think that is true or not?

The expression "Down Under" is rather obvious, isn't it?
Thanks for the two points
