An idiots guide to Australia;

* We do not hunt crocodiles or ride kangaroo’s. Curse you Steve Irwin for tarnishing our image.
* We are one of the most urbanised countries IN THE WORLD…above the United States. Just because theres only 22 million of us doesn’t mean we fucking live like Crocodile Dundee.
* Australia is not of a singular race or culture [although a racist minority would LOVE to beg to differ]. Australia is THE most multicultural country in the world.
* Australia does not have a national dish. Over my dead body will it EVER be a meat pie.
* We don’t live in the desert; why the fuck would we!? Over 80% of Australians live within 2 hours drive of coastline.
* Uluru [that big fucking red rock] is NOT within viewing distance of the Sydney Harbour Bridge; or the opera house. It is over 2793kms away [thats roughly 1736 miles.] So don’t believe the tourism posters or the tacky tourist artworks.
* I have never, EVER heard someone say “G’day” or “throw some snags and shrimps on the barbie”. Firstly, king prawns pwn over shrimps. Secondly, we aren’t retarded [except for Tasmania…we don’t know what the fuck happened there.]

/rant.

Ahhh the Tasmanians and their ever shrinking gene pool. 

I remember hearing a story about some tourists from USA planning on going to Uluru from Sydney as a day trip. I never laughed so hard at tourist stupidity before xD

Also, I hear people say g’day. And I promptly die a little inside every time.
