All The Stereotypes Of Australia

[rodriguezpoultry]

You'd like to come to OK to see a twister right?!


Do Australians really have teeth that are that white? What's the secret?

That's okay I've seen the movie and the musical, but there is an indoor water park I'm dying to visit in Wisconsin.

After I read the series starting with "Tomorrow When the War Began" (John Marsden), I always think about it being invaded and New Zealand having to come to its rescue

They are fantastic books and brought the area to life for me. But, now I can't hear Australia without jumping immediately back into the world that series created.

On another note & in the immortal words of Vizzini:"Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me..." & so, "The Princess Bride" brought to my attention as a youngster Australia's shared stereotype with the US - both the US and Australia are populated by England's shipped off criminals, right?

Well, John Marsden did a really good job describing the landscape - but still, that's in the REALLY rural areas. Agreed, though, they're awesome books

All I can think of when someone says "Australia" is Vegemite, so I guess I've always pictured Australians as being without functioning taste buds.

I think about Box Jellyfish when I think of Australia and how scared I am of them! I'd rather swim with sharks than those nasty things! I also picture that kid who threw the big party and got on the news. If you haven't seen the video it's super funny:

I also think of funnel web spiders, snakes, Steve Irwin, Aborigines, kangaroos and koala bears
I would love to visit there sometime, I also want to see New Zealand. Is it true Australians and New Zealanders have a feud?
